Pete I would have thought enthusiastic or a bit over the top.....but crazy?? Well at least he hasn't had a face lift......... 
Chicken in German is "Hanchen" with the umlaut over the letter 'A'. I did 5 years of German and it is one of the only things I remember.
Nick QUOTE(gonsaigon @ Jun 7 2006, 09:43 PM) [snapback]2259510[/snapback] Ahh A chook is a nice thing to have around at about lunch time Sunday. @ Melle, I don't know what a chook is in German? Was is eine " chicken" ? Sorry my German is more yiddisch than German, thanks to my Grandmother. Aussies call a Chicken a "Chook", I don't know why, but we all do. Pete
I sure got a few good laughs looking at movies with aussies in it. for example that crockodile fellow.
Like I said A.F. Crazy.
That is his baby son under his left arm, as crazy as Jacko ? Hard to tell. Pete 
NOBODY is as crazy as Jacko
Tomorrow Swans vs Collingwood.
Tough game each way, well worth watching. Pete Oh and on the subject of Steve Irwin, and the Australian zoo, today his giant land tortoise died, 150 yrs old. She was first collected on the Gallapogos Islands by Charles Darwin, when just tiny. The old girl was a favourite of kids that visited from all over the world, "Henrietta", was the world's oldest living creature in captivity.
Sorry about the swans Pete
 and what a shame about poor old Henrietta, I saw her featured on some documentary not all that long ago.
Good luck for 2night against Italy.
