Clashing Colours

Oddly organised knitting enthusiasts who play a little music in between purling sweaters. Twice voted Melbourne's Hottest New Scarfers by the Foster Chunder Association of Woolamaroo, the Clashing Colours are responsible for the designs of most of the away strips in the Australian Football League including the Paramatta Eels, Woogawooga Shielas and the Gosling Surfing Wrens.

The CC were formed in 2009 when a leftist boarder with one testicle grew tired of poking himself with a crotchet hook and decided to take up the bass. Mayhem soon followed and was taught, idiomatically, how to drum. Plenty of yarn and a piano were procured from a second-hand abo store in the blue mountains and, struth, the rest is history.

G'day mate! Y 'right? I reckon my dingo's colder than a wallies nellie t'night. How'd ya like to pop out and see if Clashing Colours could weave me up a quick Gosling jumper to warm the frost off my wankle. While yer up give the finger to those poms across the road. Ta.

colour

it's how everyone on the planet spells the word "color" except us Yanks, thanks to the spelling reforms of Noah Webster.
1. I was watching TV in my hotel room late at night in Niagara Falls, Canada. I could get American and Canadian TV signals there because I was at the border. There was an ad for Clairol with some lovely chicks showcasing their hair. Next to a lovely babe with long red hair was the logo: it said "Clairol Colour Treatment". I was watching an ad on Canadian TV.

2. At Oakes Parks in the Niagara area I was having a nice discussion with a Canuck lady. She said that I must be an American because I said "out" as opposed to "ewt". I said that yes I'm a Yank and that I spell "colour" with 5 letters, not 6.

3. Cyndi Lauper had a hit in 1986 with "True Colors". In 1998 Phil Collins released his version of it, respelling it as "True Colours" beings that he is British.

3. "Any Colour You Like" is a synthesizer-heavy instrumental by Pink Floyd.

4. The TA for one of my college classes is a Canadian. He says that American spelling for words like "catalogue" becoming "catalog" and dropping the "u" in "colour" to make "color" is a sign of laziness. Hey, it eliminates excess baggage. It's called "simplifying". That's the American way, fella!

5. Eeeeeeeeeyeww! What's your favorite color baby? ... LIVING COLOUR.
