The Code of Practice

[Waldo]

G'day Driver,

A logo for the Code of Practice, well that's right up my alley which happens to be part of my profession. So, if you're willing to wait a week for me to get an idea/s nutted out, I'd be very willing to contribure.

Great! Thanks Waldo.

If you can find a way to incorporate Andy Mac's shed picture into a cover design that would be excellent. Take all the time you need.

G'day Driver,

No problems. Andy Mac could you email to me the scan? Doesn't matter how big a file it is.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

There's two things about Andy Mac's picture that niggle at me...

1. He's using a draw-horse, right? So where's the shavings? :eek:
2. Going on the cover of THE code, I assume this is a "representative" shed? OK... but where's his copy of the Code hangin' on the wall?

Mate! You can't leave it there. Now you've got to have a go at a $0.05 logo. Show us your prowess!

Mate if I did it it'd be worth less than $0.05, believe me!

Much better idea to let Waldo do it.

What I reckon we need is a stylised shed incorporated in the logo.

After all, what is a shed in elevation? Two uprights and a roof right?

Now just snazzy up the basic concept up and Bob's your mother's brother.

G’day Driver, g’day mates,

I have studied carefully the CoP and believe it is one of the most intelligent documents I have ever read. I took the test and scored Maaate! with a 27, although for question (2) I substituted “Those little fart machines made out of rubber that you blow up and slip on your mate’s chair.” Other than that, no worries. <O</O
<O</O


But, I pose a few questions for your careful consideration:
<O</O

• Can a bloke live in America and still be a bloke if he has a shed and follows all the rules?
• Is there such a thing as an Honorary Bloke and how do you apply?
• Is Foster’s really “Australian for beer” or are the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com[IMG] /><st1:country-region w:st=[/IMG]merica</st1:country-region> and still be a bloke if he has a shed and follows all the rules?
• <font face=" /><st1:State w:st="on"><ST1New York</st1:State> ad chaps having us on? (They are chaps, you know.)
• Is John Howard a bloke? (optional)
• My shed does not have a metal roof, is this a Code Violation?
• Flushed toilets here swirl in the opposite direction. Does this have any bearing on anything at all?
• If you asked the average American what a “stubby holder” was, would he know?
• Should he care?
• Is there an upper limit to the number of cock-ups allowed per WIP? My experience tells me the answer is no.
• It’s summer here and winter there. Who’s right?

</O
With your permission I would like to share the CoP with some of my blokelier mates. It may inspire them to come up with their own CoP. But then again, probably not.
<O</O
I give the CoP four thumbs up!

G’day Driver, g’day mates,

G'day Bob. Here's a tip: carefully read the Code's section on Blokely terms (10.3). Nowhere will you see the word 'mates' used in the vocative case. 'Youse blokes', 'Gents', 'Girls' and 'Ladies' are the preferred terms. Apart from that: Welcome and goodonya.

I have studied carefully the CoP and believe it is one of the most intelligent documents I have ever read. I took the test and scored Maaate! with a 27, although for question (2) I substituted “Those little fart machines made out of rubber that you blow up and slip on your mate’s chair.” Other than that, no worries.

Well done on the Blokeness Quotient score. As to fart machines, a bloke is, of course, free to choose his preferred system.

But, I pose a few questions for your careful consideration:
Can a bloke live in America and still be a bloke if he has a shed and follows all the rules? Yes.
Is there such a thing as an Honorary Bloke and how do you apply? Yes. Wendy is an Honorary Bloke. She didn't need to apply, her status was obvious. You can't apply, blokeness is - as Craig said, a state of mind.
Is Foster’s really “Australian for beer” or are the New York ad chaps having us on? (They are chaps, you know.) No. P!ss is Australian for beer.
Is John Howard a bloke? Dunno. Has he taken the quiz?
My shed does not have a metal roof, is this a Code Violation? In and of itself - No. But be careful.
Flushed toilets here swirl in the opposite direction. Does this have any bearing on anything at all? Not unless you plan to spend a lot of time on the porcelain phone (see above re p!ss)
If you asked the average American what a “stubby holder” was, would he know? Most unlikely, I imagine.
Should he care? Does he want cold beer?
Is there an upper limit to the number of cock-ups allowed per WIP? My experience tells me the answer is no. And your experience does not speak with forked tongue.
It’s summer here and winter there. Who’s right? We are.
With your permission I would like to share the CoP with some of my blokelier mates. It may inspire them to come up with their own CoP. But then again, probably not. Go for your life, mate.

I give the CoP four thumbs up! Does this mean you've taken your boots off or are you wearing thongs?

[RufflyRustic]

[Honorary Bloke]

G'day youse blokes,

It means I've taken me bloody boots off! Never wear thongs. They chaff your B**. Can't count any higher without, can I? Can anyone tell me what time it is in OZ or do I haf' to do the math?

Thank you, Driver. I am proud to be an American Bloke. (Oh, Wendy, how I long for you! Oops, sorry, that slipped in.) It's late here and the Blokely drinks have kicked in, so tomorrow is another day.

What bloody time is it there,, anyway?

[JDub]

10:30am if your in the eastern states....... not close enough to knock off time for my liking....

[Cliff Rogers]

Is there an upper limit to the number of cock-ups allowed per WIP?

A couple of years ago, I won a prize at a Turnout for 'The most looses on one piece'.

I did finish it & it went on the 'Instant Gallery' table but bloody hell, I had to go & get it back from where ever it had landed lots of times.

[Honorary Bloke]

Well, I'm going to bed. It's 9 PM here (Eastern Daylight Time). But . . . if it's 11 or so A.M., why aren't you all at work? And if you are, don't you have anything to do? And anyway, what DAY is it over there? Crikey! This Honorary Bloke thing is going to my head!!!

I think I'll go out to the shed for a spell. Leaning and staring. THEN I'll go to bed.

[silentC]

what DAY is it over there

It's tomorrow here, and yesterday there. See? It's simple.

BTW If you are going out to the shed, make sure you only lean and/or stare. Under no circumstances should you DO anything. You have been warned.

Bob Australia has 3 time zones ( without counting Daylight saving times )
So here on the east coast it's 20 past , in the middle its 10 to and on the west coast its 20 past , ( In Tasmania its 1986 )

Hope this clears it up
