OZPIG


Just got an Ozpig from my wife for my birthday and it looks like the patent is registered in China and the pig is manufactured in Taiwan.

Seems we can't even make a barrel with legs in Australia. Still love it but

Can't go wrong with the Q

The Oz Pig is a good choice though if you like that sot of thing. I saw one in action at greens Lake, Central Vic only last week.

Can't see a problem with it as, as my foriegn wife would say,  it's typical Aussie humour?

Anyway I have to agree, there is no need to make fun of Mr Palmer... for obvious reasons biggrin.gif

Ausie Humor Idont think so there's plenty of other humor out there without poking fun at someone.

You are entitled to your opinion but please, there is really no need to push ones personal values on others in a forum like this. It just causes tension which we have had quite enough of lately. Just let us have a laugh.

Cheers

Jon

BTW: Everyone knows that politicians are fair game.

Jon firstly I am not pushing my beleifs on others at all. I think it is un called for to call some body an Ozy Pig I wouldn't like it, there has been a lot of tension as you say, by people that don't give a little thought before posting,and nor do I get my humor from laughing at others. I'm not going on with this anymore, All the best Mrs T

oh go cry us a river... bleh

 

who are you? the fun police?

 

I had to laugh this week at Paul Hogan who is doing the rounds on his Aussie tour...

 

one of his jokes is about his local rules for swimming with sharks..

 

"Always swim between the fat people"

 

Hilarious... biggrin

 

last year I hit 100 Kilograms... so  yes.. I was fat.. but good aussie humour always makes me laugh... even if its at my expense..

 

but I have now lost weight and am back to nearly 87kg.. smile

Looked at the oz piggy and found it was too heavy, so got a camp oven and fire grating. Works a treat

Be good now...

The Oz-Pig is a great idea but they take up to much valuable space.when you are living on the road space is very limited.

the same as a camp oven, I do not get the whole camp oven thing to some it is almost like a pagan ritual. I know I will get flamed for this biggrin

But once again space and weight never could understand why you need to carry around 10-15 ks of cast iron just to cook inwink

omg it was so yummy... smile

 

but one of my other favourite camping instruments is a basic grill over a fire like this one on the far side of the fire.. it fits into a flat bag and takes up hardly any room..
