I went with Dundee because my friend from Edinburgh used to be from Dundee, so those were the two I knew.

As luck would have it, guess who just called a general election? The Prime Minister of Australia

Australians change Prime Ministers like they change clothes, other than putting shrimp on the barbie and adding an "o" to the first syllable of words, calling a spill is their favourite national pastime.

Australians only change clothes 6 times in 12 years or Australians routinely switch back and forth between the same 6 Prime Ministers on a daily basis? Either way, gross.

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is the most famous example of a pangram sentence, perfect pangram sentences (which use each letter just once) are hard to make in English, an example of a 28 letter pangram is "Waltz, bad nymph, for quick jigs vex", which makes little sense.
