Hello,

In Australia a cockatoo is slang for "a lookout to warn bad people" when the "law" is coming so that the bad people can escape from the consequences of their inappropriate behaviour.

But then cockatoos are a very noisy bird that make too much noise such that the "bad people" become confused with the warning that the cockatoo is noisily making.

Oh well, birds of a feather flock together, and disrupt the peace and tranquillity of other peoples space.

Yes, I use to get confused with jelly sandwiches, I did however know about gasoline ………but if gas is short for that does it not get a bit confusing when talking about ‘ Gas ‘

Over here we refer to LPG as gas so it was very confusing for me... LoL
As for jelly sandwiches... I finally worked it out...
Jelly is jam and jello is jelly

Well... I don't watch much of anything... so I did not hear at all... I have never heard of an entire country having a gas shortage.
I will read up on it..
Re. Petrol Shortages: Been there, done that, remember it well.

1970s energy crisis - Wikipedia
The 1970s energy crisis occurred when the Western world, particularly the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, faced substantial petroleum shortages, real and perceived, as well as elevated prices. The two worst crises of this period were the 1973 oil crisis and the 1979 energy crisis, when the Yom Kippur War and the Iranian Revolution triggered interruptions in Middle Eastern oil exports.[2]

Good morning CB'ers... It's 4:12 am
It's 11C = 52F .... High of 19C = 66F

On my second cup of tea...
No puzzles this week... My daughter is coming for a visit on Friday.... I need the kitchen table to be CLEAR...
Looking forward to her visit... I have not seen her in a year.

Hope everyone has a beautiful day.

This is the DAY that the Lord has made... I will rejoice and be glad in it.

Ohhh yea... Late night crackers in the house with the most sublime cheese on earth... LoL

Who was the lobster lover? Was that you @Truman ? Unfortunately i don't have the lobster eating knowledge and usually make a mess of it
You would love it down here in Tasmania cos there are 37 freshwater crayfish species
The giant freshwater lobster is the biggest in the world at around 6kgs mate... Only in Tassie...
Hmmm and i find now that their concentrated just in this region where i live... Might look into trying to catch them... Set some crayfish pots overnight and/or while i go fishing in the day... I think i need a different license to catch them... Thrust the government to charge us to fish Gods waters. The audacity of them. But they seem to do their best to preserve the fish and make sure their not over fished or that no foreign species are introduced like on the mainland, introduced carp have made it hard for our other fish to thrive on the mainland

Six kilograms...wow! That's a lot of eating! A lot bigger that the tiny ones here! Carp are a huge problem here, too! They will destroy the habitat needed for the survival of native species such as trout. Though they do get big and are a lot of fun to catch!

@Cristo Rei I still gotta try a King Island Crayfish, I still have not had one, even though we went to King Island once. We were planning on going there again this coming Summer, hopefully we can still go. Gotta like how it's never really hot there, even in Summer, the Roaring 40s keeps King Island cool.
