Well - the only farming in Australia I can think of is sheep ... and the only machinery associated with sheep are sheep shears and baling presses ... did Wolseley make sheep shearing equipment?

[I'm having fanciful visions of Wallace & Gromit here!]

baaaaaaaaaaah! We have lotsa sheeps in OZ, you could be right.
The name sounds familiar.

*wracking old brain for what it might be*

SneakySnake · 05-19-2011, 09:18 PM

WE have lots of other farming! and Sheeping is grazing anyway.

How about combine harvester?

But I think pooh might be right about sheepy stuff.

Shayne Parkinson · 05-19-2011, 09:18 PM

Yes! The Wolseley company made the first sheep shearing machinery. Quite a leap from there to upmarket cars.

All yours, Pooh.

poohbear_nc · 05-19-2011, 09:28 PM

Hmmmm .... quite a pun: Wolseley => Wool?

OK - we all know that tired old gag of the rubber chicken. But did you know that the humble rubber chicken has a sinister history - and served as part of the occult symbolism for the International Rubber Chicken Society, a secret society founded in New Fairfield, CT? This society used a rubber chicken to suggest a link with what other secret society?

SneakySnake · 05-19-2011, 09:37 PM

The chickens against public execution of real chickens society?

poohbear_nc · 05-19-2011, 09:40 PM

No - a real secret society!

SneakySnake · 05-19-2011, 09:43 PM

a Templar offshoot?

The Royal Antedeluvian Order of Buffaloes?

poohbear_nc · 05-19-2011, 09:44 PM

getting warmer

[hint - it's a rubber chicken - so the allusion to another secret society has to be some kind of gag, right?]

SneakySnake · 05-19-2011, 09:44 PM

Anyone to do with bringing light? or Rosy crosses?

Who made us wait for 100 years after his death before allowing his autobiography to be published?

Shayne Parkinson · 05-19-2011, 10:06 PM

Mark Twain. But I'm just about to nip out for a bit, so first in best dressed!

SneakySnake · 05-19-2011, 10:08 PM

But you have to post your winning Q first!

Shayne Parkinson · 05-19-2011, 11:08 PM

Back for a moment, and see that I was too terse.

No time to think of a q., so please help yourself.

Edited: changed my mind about going out. So here's a quick cryptic:

Fishy complaint.

Edited again to add: 4 letters in the answer.
