    Huh, I am no way my dad's favourite :p and my parents are so paranoid they'd probably try and stop me frm having a boyfriend, (not that there's much fear of that) because relationships are obviously something terrible in under 25s. Lol.

    True that girls are easily just as good as boys..if not better ;)

    PMS doesnt bother me one bit.

    I just don't like clingyness and stuff.....i like my time. And well im a step father (almost if i married my misses) and she never leaves me alone, and i pretend to be grumpy.... imagine if i tried to be super nice. I would never have time to myself. See if i had a boy. Boys just never really wanna be with their parents (when they get older) to a degree.

    LOL Speedy...Depending on the boy, he can be just as clingy and whatnot. My little man wants to be the center of everything all the time. And wants something constantly. it really has more to do with the childs personality than the childs sex. Ever person, and ever child are different.

    She will grow out of this stage too Speedy. Give her like 2 years, and she will be compleletly different again. I am waiting for when she starts ignoring you, and you actually want her to do stuff with you. :p

    Her real father is so bad, i think it'll be at least 4 years.

    *Will shut up now, this is way off topic - sorry for that*

    Lol! :eek: Speak for yourself! :p I can't bring myself to try it, though I'm not the biggest fan of red meat in general (and before you accuse me of being un-Australian, I do still like beer).

    Its a big export. But im not sure if you see it in markets, just biuy it red, not gray (old). Its lean and has pretty much no fat on it. I love it.

    With 200 million kagas in the country, (that eat anything and EVERYTHING)) what better way then take one out and eat it ;)

    LOL

    We have buffalo. I want to have some of that. I just haven't come across any when I was acutally buying. People have told me where I can get some. Should check it out sometime. They are raised on farms, just like cows now, just for meat. Osterich is getting polular here too. They say it tastes a bit like beef. Never had it either. I eat deer all the time though, because the hubs and I go deer hunting. It is really good. It tastes kinda like beef, just a lot less fat. Because it is wild deer, they aren't shot up with a bunch of crap either. Yummy venison!

    If you are a farmer here, you can get a permit to kill deer all year round, if they are damaging your crops. Because they have a large population, and they could do some serious damage if it isn't kept under control. We have White Tail Deer here.

    I do get the practicalities of it (my grandparents run a farm), it's more that they're so firmly entrenched in my mind as our national symbol as opposed to being a pest that my fondness precludes me from viewing them as food, same goes for koalas, even though it's the same situation.

    Eurgh wombat?! Another thing I wouldn't like to eat...
    In France, rabbit is sold as much as other meats, in England people would get squeamish about it.
