By North American standards I save about $1500 per annum.
Calm down. I said annum.


And c'mon now I thought you were Irish
because I thought you were in Ireland.
According to my stereotype files you
should be lashing out on drinks for
the entire town.

Y'sure there's not a bit o the Scot inya?

Audrey Hepburn's Eliza Dolittle did not thrill me the way Julie Andrews' did. But remember that I was around 12 at the time I discovered that great Original Cast recording. It was a revelation. I could listne to it and imagine whatever I wanted to see in my mind. Then I started seeing Julie's movies, and it only got better and better. By then I was 16 or above.

I suspect that the Aussies go for "six" because that is what the average Aussie bloke takes with him either to soften up his Sheila beforehand or for himself for courage.
