I know it's an inside joke, but what is a "banana bender"?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Queenslanders are usually referred to as “Banana Benders”, Paul. QLD produces something like 90% of Australia’s bananas, and other states joke that they grow straight when they are on the tree, so to make them more attractive, huge numbers of Queenslanders are employed to bend them before shipping, just to give Queenslanders an intellectual challenge:roflblack:
Fairly typical derogatory Aussie humour.:thumbup:
Another derogatory comment appears when Daylight Saving Time arrives (QLD does not have Daylight savings as they believe the extra hour of daylight fades the curtains more quickly:roflblack
. It then means that QLD is 100 years and one hour behind the rest of Australia.Pete

A Queenslander - they grow bananas in QLD, and someone's gotta bend 'em, or since they've also got a lot of cane toads, they might be called Cane Toads too!! Just like we've got lotsa Crows & Magpies in South Oz, so we're Croweaters; there's lotsa sand in Western Australia, so they're Sandgropers; the Northern Territory is at the top end of Oz, so they're either Territorians (obviously!), Top Enders (equally as obviously!
), or maybe Salties cos of all the Salt Water Crocodiles up there; Tasmanians are either Taswegians or Apple Islanders, cos they grow a LOT of apples down there, or Two-heads, cos... well, there's not many people down there, so sometimes the in-breeding shows; Victorians come from down South, so they're Mexicans; and those from NSW are simply Coackroaches, cos... Well, even if you beat'em with a stick, nothing can kill them bastards and they're bloody everywhere, so you get the drift, I'm sure! 
And while all Ozzies are bastards, or if I'm being rude, right bar stewards; but they're all still Ozzies, so we're all mate's; altho some are good ****s, some are bloody ****s; and a few others are ******* ****s! Got that straight, right? :dontknow:
