This young kangaroo was smuggled into Malaya.

Learn something new every day.

 

I thought that was a typo - not Malaya but Malaysia. Because I've heard of Malaysia but I've never heard of Malaya.

 

Malaya was a British colony until 1957. Then it was its own country until 1963, when it joined with Singapore, Sabah, and Sarawak to form Malaysia.

 

Golly gosh.

I've heard of the Malayan peninsula. I've heard of the Malay pirates. I've heard of Malay loads. But I always thought the country was Malaysia.

 

Like I've heard of Aussie this and Aussie that, but the country is not Aussie - it's Australia.

The Malayan Emergency was very similar to the Vietnam War (Which we were also involved in) for Australia.

"joined with Singapore"?  Singapore is a country all by itself.

There are people that haven't?  :P

 

It's where the Gurkha's developed their reputation as superb jungle fighters (along with the Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation).

Singapore gained self-governance in 1959 and, in 1963, became part of the new federation of Malaysia, alongside Malaya, North Borneo, and Sarawak. Ideological differences led to Singapore's expulsion from the federation two years later; Singapore became an independent sovereign country in 1965.

An useless fact, Singapore recruits Gurkhas for part of their police force:

Its un-Australian if the Vegemite jar does not have bits of butter, anything less is borderline unpatriotic.

One thing of interest, unlike the USA, we don't have regional accents.

The recipe

Old Fashioned Biscuits and Gravy By Cowboy Kent Rollins

 

Video how to.

 

 

Secret to good gravy is to keep stirring from the time you add flour until it's done.
