Curry & Bruce

Well it’s been rather quiet here on the cricket front since the 2nd test finished and the banter died down.  ‘Bruce’ did tell me of a funny story of some Barmy Army England fans who were so desperate for a good English curry that they have ordered one and the chef to be delivered from their favourite curry house in the UK.  Read more here.

I did notice a funny thing here in Oz the other day though.  In the UK we refer to Aussies as ‘Bruce’ and ‘Sheila’ but here in Oz they didn’t know what I was on about when talking about a stereotypical Aussie block as ‘Bruce’.  The Aussies recognised ‘Sheila’ as a term but not ‘Bruce’ which I found funny.  I then raised the Bruce highway which goes north from Brisbane and asked who this was named after and no-one knew!  Good old BRUCE whoever you are!
