marsalv Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share #324 Posted March 21, 2017 You are right giampieroricci. The hooks are 3 mm long and should be long about 2,5 mm.

Greg the peg leg sailor Posted March 22, 2017 Share #327 Posted March 22, 2017 Australian English 101 G'Day all In Australia we make a few words in a sentence into one longer word. We, I must admit, are a bit lazy in our speaking, but for us it's normal. The reason why I'm writing this down, so other countries and their population might under stand our lingo. Some examples are:. Lingo = language Ozzie = Australian Havta = have to Havtagree = have to agree etc G'Day = good day Havagooday = have a good day Havagreatrip = have a great trip etc If you say it out loud long enough, I hope that you may understand our poor speech. In Australia we use bloody a lot. Bloody is one of our best adjective to describe something so good or some times bad. Eg bloody fantastic is very good. Bloody terrible is very bad. We also break down large words into a smaller/shorter word eg. Air conditioner to Aircon. There are many more facets to our unique language, above are only a small sample. havagooday to all Greg Quote "Nothing is impossible, it's only what limitations that you put on yourself make it seems impossible!

Hahaha You may be right! Some non-Ozzie might hear Egg-nishner when we speak, it must be our accent.
