Thongs - flip flops (jandals - New Zealand). Australian thongs are made of a rubber sole and a single v-shaped strap that connects at 3 points to the sole - between the big toe and neighbouring toe, and either side of the start of the heel. This simple but eminently practical design originated in traditional Japanese footwear (where you can even by warm socks especially designed for wearing with thongs). Thongs are not sandals! Thongs do not have a strap at the back tying them onto your feet! These are only worn by non-Aussies who grew up in cold climates, who didn't develop sufficient muscles in their toes to be able to keep thongs on. (It's probably this lot that insist on calling Australian thongs 'flip flops'.) Sandals are also worn by Aussies who are pretending they're dressed up. There are all sorts of sparkly colours available these days, so accurate colour co-ordination of outfits is possible. 'Double pluggers' is the nickname for thongs that have two plugs on either side of the foot connecting the strap to the sole - they're stronger than 'single pluggers'. ('Pluggers' for short; but this really is bogan-speak.) Dunlop commenced production in 1960 and they made the very best thongs, they took forever to wear out and were virtually bindi-proof, but unfortunately Dunlop stopped manufacturing these tough tropical gumboots a few years ago. Like many imported terms such as the U.S. equivalents for 'fringe', 'barrack' and 'bum bag', 'flip flops' doesn't conjure up pleasant mental pictures in the minds of most Aussies. They're perhaps mostly likely to think of a bloke jogging along a nudist beach or some equally undignified sight...

Aw..crap ...long answer...typical prof...I know what a TRUE thong is ....actually I prefer nice white panties/knickers.

would've given credit to original author but Id clicked back to ose and lost her.
apologies, M8.

We're not discussing what you prefer to wear, Doogie.. nice white panties, indeed ..
You Scotsmen are known to wear tapestry as skirts ... so girly knickers is the next step, I spose.

Hahaha

Now you are starting to learn about Douggie. You just got yourself on his Xmas list.

Douggie I seen you having a dig at us people with black boats again on that other thread. You wait till ozzies mono is gps'd and my mono breaks 80 mph and everyone will have a black boat.
Our scientific research proved that because of the ability to soak up heat that if you could focus this soaking motion in a forward direction that it would give a suction affect in the direction that the boat is moving. It has up to a 5.325 mph advantage. Now that speed is worth having when you are going for records.
The secret is all in how the paint is applied. Ozzie and I found that is you rubbed some of Andy's More Roo Than Moo Cheese on any black colored hull it had the same affect. It is all in how you rub the More Roo Than Moo Cheese on.
Currently we are experimenting with adding More Roo Than Moo Cheese to the surface of More Go Than Show Props. Already we are seeing a 0.210 mph increase in speed but expect more to come when we perfect the way to rub the More Roo Than Moo Cheese on to the surface of the More Go Than Show Props

We have had a break through Paddy, it turns out if a Buxom young wench apply's the MORE ROO THAN MOO CHEESE to the MORE GO THAN SHOW PROP with her titties swinging whilst being monstered by myself doggie style works a treat, who cares if they are faster, they are a hell of a lot more fun to polish !!!!
Paddy one of those props is so small I need a microscope to see the little fuker.

Bollocks...Andy....Paddy is not representing your various shady enterprises very well.

At the risk of adding a boat related thing here

An old hull with a possible new lease of life ??

That is probably the 41 mph prop for the soon the make Douggie cry F1 Tunnel Andy.
I start my 4 days off tomorrow. More titty ooppsssss I mean boat testing will commence tomorrow.

Twin props. tell us more Simon

[Flying Scotsman]

Simon, what the hell is that hull an All Black marvel or?? Time to put a sail on it maybe

Douggie

[Xzessperated]

I must say Andy, it is an exciting time to be in FE boats here in Aus. With all this titties and thongs thing going on and then there is our ground breaking scientific research into the color black. I have a few ideas we will throw about on the phone sometime about opposites attracting and how we could use that to make boats go even faster. We seem to be on the cutting edge of technology here in Aus at the moment.
Could I put my name down for 3 of those More Go Then Show Prop Thongs. Black please.

Twin props. tell us more Simon

It is a dodgy old hull that has had more motors and gear drives than I have had good roots, ok not quite but close as I get a good root everytime the toilet door is shut.

I have 3 cats now and one is twinned up. Yawn........cats are nearly yesterday especially twins as every second bugger here has one.

The twin mono seems to be the new thing and it is a contentious bastwad at that. There is a lot of discussion as to how and why and that is one of the reasons that I decided to give a twin-mono a go.
It is not because it easy but because it is hard who(famous) said that ??

I'll have a crack at this twin mono lark and see how it goes. It is mainly to use up a hull and a pair of motors that are dust gatherers.

I'll be back.

It will be fun in the turns and rough water

Douggie

Douggie, you of all should know that I am a poof with the weather so rough water is a no,no. Turns ?? I have a teardrop or keyhole piece of water to run on so I only get 1 high speed turn per lap and that is only if the feathered mafia are not paddling across the pond.
I generally get to do saw type passes and that is what floats me.
I run it down one way and line it up and then pin it!! That is my run style until someone makes me a big pond with no bouys ( for the sail folk) or feathered targets.

I do like my local pond as is.................it could be better

[drwayne]

Sorry to burst your baubles, but there's a bloke in Victoria who has already proven this as fact.. the fugly blighter's black CF rig is uncannily drawn towards whatever bouys float in his pond .. faster the CF test object , greater the moment of attraction

Sorta like Douggie at safeway.. the prettier the girl, the greater the attraction
