The word shrimp is used like the word sheep... the uneducated say "shrimps/sheeps". |

Marinades will impart more flavour if the shells are removed first. There is still a nice flavour when they are grilled in the shell. Another benefit is that it slows people down so fewer shrimp will go further. When I grill shrimp I use a marinade of olive oil, lemon or lime juice, salt, pepper, a good dash of Worcestershire, hot sauce and chopped parsley and lots of chopped parsley. They should only marinate for about an hour so that the citrus does not cook them. If you have shrimp in the 30 count range you can usually start by laying them on the grill. Once you get them all on the grill you can go back and flip them over. Once they are all flipped over it is time to start taking them off. |

I am so glad that my former next door neighbour planted a number of trees in his front yard, mainly as a visual barrier that blocks our view of the redneck neighbour on the far side. That house has a very deep but very narrow piece of property. He had hoped to build a garage or out building of some type behind the house but after his first spring here he saw how the back part floods. At the moment he has his camper trailer and a car in his driveway. There is a cheap plastic "garage" with a mini loader/backhoe and his lawn tractor. Two vehicles that still work and one that doesn't. One the other side of his lawn he has a 2 axle utility trailer loaded up with a bunch of crap. On nice days he always has his Harley out on the driveway. I have only seen him out on the bike 3 or 4 times. At least he took down the rebel flag. |

You may have noticed its remoteness from the more populated parts of Australia. It's a 'different world' up there. In my 63 years I have attended a very large number of barbecues all over Australia and I have never seen prawns cooked on a barbie at an Aussie barbecue. The only time I've seen prawns on a barbie was at an Asian household. At the time I thought it strange. -- Xeno |

Either way, most of my relation to OZ is from Darwin. Due to ship movements, been there something like 12 times? Not really sure but i can give you walking directions about the place. -- |

We live only 450 kilometres south of Brisbane so we do shopping trips up that way now and then. > > Either way, most of my relation to OZ is from Darwin.

Been to every other capital city in Oz but missed that one. A friend of mine was there in the 70s when Cyclone Tracy just about wiped the place off the map. After seeing all his pics of years ago, I sort of lost interest in any cyclone affected areas. Lived for a time north of the 26th parallel back when I was young and foolish and even hundreds of kilometres inland we used to get the cyclone warnings. Now I keep to the south of that parallel and leave that blustery northern clime to those who dote on that sort of thing. ;-) -- Xeno |

I used to have a neighbour like that. We share an unopened road allowance and his house is further back an on the opposite site. He considered it to be his driveway but in confrontations with him I always referred to it as road allowance. Even though the laneway back to his place had more than ample gravel surface, we would often drive on the grass on my side. He never drove on the grass on his side. During the winter he would plow the lane, always pushing the gravel laden snow over to my side, and he would drive on my side, even through the snow. When I cleared out my parking area I would pile the snow up at the corner of my parking are and the lane. It was a visual and a physical barrier that should have reminded him to stay on the gravel and off the lawn. Nope. He would drive right through it with is pick up truck. What an ass. He had plowed out the lane and it was off to one side. I put an end to it one very very cold night. I had shovelled out the parking area and piled the snow at the edge of the lane. I went out every a couple times and hour and threw a pail of water on the pile. The next day when I got home from work I saw the tire tracks where he drove across my lawn and then struck the snow pile. It was funny to see the two lines of rust that had fallen off his front and rear bumpers and the how the back wheels slipped over to one side when the truck his that pile of solid ice. He never said a word about it. He also stopped driving on my grass. |

He also stopped driving on my grass. I like it. I had a neighbour who infringed on my property in Red Deer every chance he got. I was so happy to sell my property and get away from that arsehole. ==== |

His wife was nice but he was a jerk. They sold the place and we had nice neighbours, but they sold the place and moved to a place a long way north of here. The new neighbour is a bigger jerk than the original one. Once again, the wife is nice but the guy is an Ahole |

They seem to be coming across as generally loud and annoying but they have not actually moved in there yet. |
