    extremely tiring and difficult, and demanding great effort and determination:
    Junior doctors often have to work a gruelling 100-hour week.
    He eventually won the match after five gruelling sets.

    Further, Freightman endures a gruelling 3-4 hour work week.

    Oh, past the half way mark.

    How about that!

    Reminds me of the old days, when I had a dial up modem that as the connection was being made, it said,"dialling number."

    In the FAQ, there was this:
    Q: Why do you misspell "dialling."
    A: The program author is Australian and that's how we spell it.

    Program author was probably having a Foster’s. Aussies love their beer.

    Actually, not true.

    I was in Australia a few years ago and we went to a bar for an Aussie beer tasting. Someone asked about Fosters. The bartender laughed and said Aussies don't drink it. It's made for export.

    It’s actually an Australian brand name made in Britain. Crocodile Dundee can clarify.

    It was popular in Australia around 30 years ago but is rarely seen here these days. Britain is the largest market and Paul Hogan did the ads. The Japanese brewer Asahi owns it now.
