Michael Hilton Group: Members Posts: 255 Joined: Oct. 2007 Posted: Sep. 28 2010, 19:44 Hi Bubba and welcome. Always good to hear from another Aussie. Plenty of catching up to do, dont forget to  give Guitars, Voyager, & L&S a listen - a few of my faves. Cheers.   @ nightspore; I agree, we all know wiga secretly wants to be an Aussie, she hid all those empty VB cans in her last piccy, and she loves sheep... say no more     Back to top

And don't translate well. In all fairness for a Country of 5 Million or so they seem able to field world class sports teams ,make great movies and flew a plane 15 years or so before the Wright bros. Here is another tumbleweed inducing joke. What did the cannibal say after eating a Clown. He tasted a bit funny Back to top

Andronicus Group: Members Posts: 1 Joined: May 2010 Posted: Sep. 29 2010, 08:32 I'll delurk long enough to throw up my hand for the "let's get Mike to Australia" project, since seeing him live is the No. 1 thing on my pre-expiration list of doing stuff. Some possible incentives: * Like boating around islands?  Why not try the biggest island in the Pacific. * The nation lives on beer (and we do have some very good cheese as well, if you feel so inclined). * A thriving tobacco market - you want it, we can get it. * The girls are unbelievable! * You could stop in to visit Terry in Queensland (ok, ok, maybe just swing by for lunch then be on your way...) * Great place to raise a young family. * Huge music industry, folk festivals abound and tons of resources. * Adoring fans who will (more or less) leave you alone on the priviso you knock out a few concerts/albums now and then and will lead better lives just knowing you're here. Honestly - what more could he want? Back to top

On the other hand, some years ago an inebriated New Zealander confided to me that he had in fact indulged the tastes alluded to in these jokes. I remarked to him that he was doing his countryfolk no favours by making such admissions! Also, consider the images in the University of Canterbury's coat of arms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Canterbury I have no idea what the instrument below the sheep is, and I have no intention of making enquiries!

Honestly - what more could he want? Welcome to your new non-lurking status, Andronicus. A further inducement might be the Oldfield River in southwest Western Australia (not far from Ravensthorpe).

I'm wondering if you might be Bryan Ferry - he's doing a concert in Sydney this month.   Nah, not yet Wiga (Jerry?), Im off tomorrow actually......just been checking out my mate up in QLD to see if he is ok.....all is well so far Im glad to say. I did volunteer to go up and help the floods clean up, but Im told they had over 60,000 applicants and board and lodging could be/is a problem with so many out of towners helping out. When is Bryan Ferry playing? I might pop along, Im sure he actually lives close to us in Kent or used to... I'll be logging in every few days no doubt, I'll not forget my log in name anymore either...I still cant remember what it was....possibly Ommadawn something or other, but I guess the posts will no longer be registered.....has to be nearly ten years ago.
