Well I've heard tits, boobs, boobies, knockers and when people are being mock sophisticated, bosoms...but I have never heard norks. Still if it's on the internet it must be true.

I met this bloke in a bar once.

He says, "Look out there to that paddock. Do you see that fence? See how straight it is? I made it with my own hands. It took me months."
"But do they call me Dimitri the Fencer? No."
Then he pointed to the bar. "See the bar, notice how fine the wood is? I planed that surface down. I carved that wood with my own skill and hard work, it took weeks."
"Do they call me Dimitri the Carpenter? No, they don't."
The guy points out the window. "Listen, see that wonderful bridge? I built that, I organised the crews, designed it, did everything. Without me there is no bridge."
"Do they call me Dimitri the Bridge Builder? No."


"But fuck one goat..."

Re norks: 1, 2, 3. UD's reliability is, er... impeccable? I include it merely for its claimed Geordie origin of this term.

I heard a similar joke years ago, but the punch line was, "But suck one little cock...".

What if you went swimming in West Australia

I mean, it is the shark attack capital of the world



I think, and agree with em' if it's the case. Surf life saving clubs and surfers in general over in the west disagree with killing sharks, they'd rather educate the public in shark avoidance and preserve them

Fatal shark attacks upon humans are pretty rare, worldwide: 1, 2, 3, 4.

~4.2 fatalities per year, worldwide (#3) seems pretty low to me, compared to other risks. The rate of injuries is higher, & no-one wants to be bitten.

There was a fantastic doco. about sharks I saw on telly about a year ago, made a few years prior by a young Canadian photographer. Argued interesting things about the role of sharks--i.e. top of predator pyramid in seas for millions of years, so our current rapid slaughter of many species for their fins may upset the balance in the oceans in terms of other species, algae etc., which may in turn affect the atmosphere that we breathe/rely upon--a large part of carbon absorption is from oceanic plant-life... something like that, roughly.

Don't think this is his site, but: SOS.

Rob Stewart was his name. Promo trailer / site.
