Looks like quite a landslide victory, just as we had over here last year. Is that anything like you expected? It's always fascinating to see history unfold.<BR/><BR/>Now I'll have fun answering your questions. The Australian male is stereotyped as the type of man who shies away from anything feminine and never shows his feelings. Of course they're not really all like that, but when we talk about a "blokey" bloke, this is sort of fellow we mean.<BR/><BR/>And humbugs are those hard, black-&-white striped sweets that you suck. As for why they're called boiled, that's a good question. I think they make them by melting sugar in a saucepan and then pouring it into molds. I think they are actually English and not Australian. In fact, it just occurred to me that the Brits would call them sweets, we call them lollies and you would probably call them candy. Linguistics is quite an interesting subject. <BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>PaulaPaula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966550849706276238.post-54549055117230395762008-11-04T19:14:00.000-08:002008-11-04T19:14:00.000-08:00I voted, too...three weeks ago. :) We are still ...I voted, too...three weeks ago. :) We are still Florida residents.<BR/><BR/>It looks like this is one election in which every vote will count...everything is so tight!
