Hi all,

I had an Australian colleague show me a joke leaflet from Australian immigration listing the new key skills that had been added to the list for those seeking emigration to Australian, the joke being that those skills were batting, bowling and fielding. :D

Trouble is, the spoilsport wouldn't send me a link so I can forward it on to the rest of the company! Has anybody got a link to what I am talking about?

I've tried searching Google to no avail - I think the whole thing was in an image which might explain why I can't find it.

TIA. :)

You should have seen his old profile picture. He changed it after a PHer said something along the lines of, "CrazyLegs? Based on your profile pic 'SparrowLegs' would be more appropriate!"

In my defence, it wasn't until a year after that I changed it, so I'm not as bad a sport as roadsweeper would have you believe.

Now my Australian colleague on the other hand, is, and therefore I'd really like to find a link to what he showed me, especially given that he wouldn't send it to me himself!

Hmmm... after the Aussies' hammering of the World XI, that joke may have lost some of its punch!

That was a mickey mouse tournoment... Those world XI guys probably have never even played together, not to mention any communication problems they might encounter. It was just an exibition game.
