How do you know they're not racing to the casino?

In England they have a national lottery. From what I've read, some call it a "tax on the stupid"

But they use the profits to finance athletes for the Olympics etc. That's why they do so well in international competitions

Maybe we should all should do that, to level the field. 50% of us are below average intelligence, so there's no shortage of "donors". Why should we give the Engländers all the medals, just because they know how to con their imbeciles?

(Actually, that's smart thinking by the Engländers)

Yep! If I buy my ticket today, it is statistically more likely that I'll be dead by Saturday than actually winning the jackpot.

I don't know where you get the idea about salt mines. Did someone write about it?

Nickel and diamond mines I could understand much better

Do they have those in Australia?

**zeus64** · August 23rd, 2017, 05:45 PM

Nickel – Australia was the world's fourth largest producer in 2015, producing 9% of world output.

Diamond - Australia has the third largest commercially viable deposits after Russia and Botswana.

Why don't you let him stay with you for awhile and show him around the Melbourne area, then if he likes what he sees he could take a trip around the rest of the country and see what is best for him. And don't forget a trip to Rottnest Island!

Yes, a trip to Oz would be nothing without some quokkamania.
Hmm, is BBQ spelt that way for a reason?
