"Fair go"& "Good onya"

If my Aussie friends don't mind.. I'm going to start using those 2 in the states.. they have a certain way about them.. making it feel more warm as a gesture.

"Have a nice day" is like. "hey, how are you?.." as you walk past them not caring about a reply.. non sincere feeling.

any objections?

Wonderful! It says many of the things it took FReepers 88 threads (and counting) to say: that Steve Irwin was a good man.

I'll put up an FR Links Roundup thread a little later today, when more are browsing.

It seems a lot of FReepers hadn't really followed the whole story, judging by some of the responses and questions posted on the Memorial live thread, so I hope more can cruise the links to our many threads about Steve Irwin to get a better handle on how much he was loved the world over.

Most of you know that there will be a TV special in the U.S. on Wednesday night featuring Terri & Bindi Irwin and John Stainton in interviews with Barbara Walters.

While the promos have been all over ABC-TV, I can't find anything definitive online to tell us the exact program times in all our time zones, other than Central and Eastern. I don't know Mountain and Pacific.

Special Edition of 20/20 With Barbara Walters
Wednesday, September 27, 2006
9:00 PM, Central
10:00 PM, Eastern
Check local listings for Mtn,Pac times

1 hour
Barbara Walters interviews Terri Irwin, widow of "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, at her home in Brisbane, Australia. Also interviewed: John Stainton, Irwin's business partner, who was with Irwin when he died, Sept. 4, 2006.

This is not the prissy British "tea and doilies" politeness. Nor is it the contrived "have a nice day" American one.

Wow. An essay on politeness that manages to insult 2/3 of the Anglosphere. Quite a mis-step.
