Thanks you! It would be great if you would do 34. 35 is all done, I believe.

Unless you were Australian or had know of us, you wouldn't! I don't fully agree that it means a good guy. Though it's not really negative, we need to bear in mind that the term comes from a lock of wool (usually matted with dung) hanging from the hindquarters of a sheep. Those are cut off, because otherwise flies may lay eggs in them, and maggots in a dag can produce very unpleasant results. Australian humour can often be rather down to earth.KevinS wrote: ↑August 12th, 2020, 8:23 pm Section 22

I so hope that I've pronounced everything right! I don't even know what a 'dag' is!
It means means an odd or eccentric person, a 'bit of a character' perhaps, someone who has an unfashionable, often eccentric or idiosyncratic style or bearing, often poor social skills and sometimes an amusing manner. Uniquely Australian. If you watched Forest Gump, we might describe him as 'a bit of a dag'. Or we say someone 'dresses/acts like a dag'.

Just the one issue:
~ 2.50 text says 'and the busmen laughed at the bushman' but I hear bushman twice, whereas the first time it should be busmen.
A small thing, I know, but it doesn't make sense unless the two words are different.

#58 is nicely read, but just a couple of issues.
* There are two awkward hesitations around ~2.13 and ~ 2.17 in this phrase (it was obvious to one of the writer's experience that he must be a subaltern commander ......) which quite mar the phrase and indicate uncertainty where there should be none. Would you very much mind removing them, or redoing the phrase so that it reads smoothly? A subaltern by the way, is a British officer below the rank of captain, especially a second lieutenant.
* At the end, you have read 26th Siege (should be 24th ).
Thanks, nicely read.
