Someone beat me to it but we have a dam in our front yard / Paddock and we go yabbying all the time 0 just to see how many we catch i couldnt bear to throw them in a boiling pot of salty water poor things. (its a wives tale round here that you'll only catch Yabbies in months that have a "Y" in them. so far it been pretty true)

these babies were caught a couple of days ago in our dam... the picture posted before of the large, dark blue yabbie looks like its from a coastal lake or breeding dam.. the wild ones here are red from the muddy conditions and much less "spikey".

A "Direct Factory Outlet" if it's the same as what we've got up here. A supposedly cheaper shopping centre, 'cause they cut out the 'middle man'. Female shoppers heaven - the reverse applies for men.

Sun Sparkz - around here, we are only allowed to catch Fresh Water Crays in the months with an r in them. I've never heard that wives tale afore.

Up here, months without an R tend to be the warmer months, (may, june, july, august for those of you w/o a calendar handy) in the days prior to refrigeration (that would be 1995 in Australia, right?) shellfish didn't keep so well.

version two is that is when we get the red tides more frequently making the shellfish even less kosher than they are to begin with.

Ohhh I love love IKEA, but youre right Kagen, its a bitch to get around...so glad they have lil arrows to help out bewildered shoppers.

Chaddies good too, but DFO takes the cake.

Hagar - My ex loved shopping with me, and he actually had a decent opinion when I asked "does my arse look big in this??":p
