Ramblin Gambler Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 It's been a lifelong dream of mine to visit Australia. I almost went once a few years back. But when I was filling out the paperwork they asked if I had a criminal record so I wadded it up and threw it in the garbage. I had no idea that was still a requirement.

Ramblin Gambler Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I just realized that means my Christmas decorations up early instead of left up for too long. All of a sudden I'm a go getter instead of a lazy bum. Sure is exhausting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 It's interesting. The English, and the Aussies, spell "realize" with an "s" instead of a "z". Others are: "colour" to our "color"; "cosy" to our "cozy"; "plough" to our "plow"; "mould" to our "mold"; "defence" to our "defense"; "tonne" to our "ton"; "favour" to our "favor"; "odour" to our "odor"; "calibre" to our "caliber"; "litre" to our "liter"....and on, and on. I also really like the way the English pronounce: "aluminum"...(al-you-min-e-umm). I guess the old saying is pretty much true. We are separated by a common language. Also, Christmas, in Australia, is in the summer time there. I guess the old song: "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the one's I used to know", doesn't apply in the southern hemisphere. We don't get a lot of snow in the part of Texas I live in, especially around Christmas, but we get northers that would freeze a brass monkey. We get a lot more sleet than snow here, but never-the-less, it is difficult to think of Christmas, and 100+ degree heat My son could have easily married a girl from Queensland, but, sadly, that did not happen. We dearly loved her accent. She said we had one, but I just did not believe it. W.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's not cheap enough for ya, look for them at garage sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's not cheap enough for ya, look for them at garage sales. Don't need a "digital" antenna. When Digital TV (DTV) was put into place all the old VHF channels (channel 2-13) were forced to move to the UHF portion of the spectrum. The new DTV channels occupy the same part of the spectrum that the old analog UHF channels did. They even use the same channelization and 6 MHz of bandwidth that the analog signals did. Any TV antenna capable of receiving UHF signals will work just fine. The whole you need a digital antenna is marketing hype. Antennas receive RF they don't care if the modulation of that RF is analog or digital. All the spectrum that the old VHF channels occupied is / has been sold off to other users.
