I hadn't heard of David Thorne before. Thanks for the link. The disclaimer already had me giggling.
The Aussie sense of humour can be pretty rough around the edges. I like it! It does run along the lines of, "you've got to laugh or you'll cry" though. I watched a zombie movie made here recently and it had me in stitches when an aboriginal guy accidentally kills a none zombie.
Driving is every man for himself in some places! I can't believe how many accidents I've seen since moving here. Fatals are commonplace, yet I never personally encountered one in the UK. At 14 or 15 my eldest ended up seeing her first mangled body, which was a first for me too, at that time.
