Hey Richie,
While discussing gambling in Aus and searching out relevant sites, with
another AFOL, I came across an interesting abbreviation that I thought, you
might appreciate..... ABS = Australian Bureau of Statistics.

LOL!
I deal with the ABS from time to time, use their stats regularly, and have
several of their publications on my bookshelf... and yet the ABS/ABS link had
never occured to me.
Weird, huh?

Actually seconds after I posted (isn’t that always the way) I thought, “Gee, you
probably were already well aware of that term, considering your interests.” It
*is* sort of funny, in a weird sort of way, that you didn’t link the two. Of
course, even weirder was the time I spent deciding were to post it. I was torn
between posting to this thread and the good old “phlegm” thread. Apparently I
have way to much free time on my hands, as well as being impressed with silly
coincidences then trying to figure out my set stats.
Cheers,
Janey “Red Brick”
Starts to walk away babbling about....ABS..... Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene,
Assembly Breakdown Structure, Anti-lock Braking System, Australian Bureau of
Statistics, American Bureau of Shipping, Association of Business Schools......
shouldn’t there be some rules to abbreviations.... LOL
