Crikey-To right mate
Chuck a shrimp (Not CR :D) on the Barbie.
Whack on some MO on the wireless.
Crack a Tinnie.
Grab the Didj.
Sit outside under the Southern Cross.
And later watch the Telly and see us,
Beat the Poms at the Cricket.
Bonza!

We are not really like that, accept in W.A  :D

You forgot to say we like teasing the Kiwis with sheep jokes!
:laugh:

This is my Favorite.

An Aussie was hiking in the mountains of New Zealand,
He saw a Kiwi on top of the rise with a sheep,
He said "Hey mate we shear those in Australia",
He replied "I'm not shearing this with anyone"               :p

You may as well be # 1 Michael.
With NS #2 and me #3
As none of these fans post here anymore :/
Shame really.

Still fans though, unless they are dead or have left the planet ( happens to a lot of ozzies) as long as we add to the count.
@ wiga, we took over a long time ago (the brits that is) so enough of your tumbleweed stuff. We just want Mike to play in Oz if he decides to tour again.  :D

I might as well give the answer now: it's  "I Know I'll Never Find another Ewe"  :D

I also like this one (lucky there are no Kiwis on Tubular.net!;):


When a tourist coach passed through a small country town in New Zealand one of the passengers noticed a sheep tied to a lamppost on the corner in the main street. He asked what it was.
"Oh that," said the guide, "that's the Recreation Centre".

Thanks, Mike. Remind me what the two Ronnies joke was? I'm hopeless with finding old threads on this site!

Another NZ sheep joke I like is this one:

Q: What is a New Zealander's definition of safe sex?
A: Painting an "X" on the sheep that kick!

That's right, in the south/east we are more likely to;

Add prawns to the fetuccini
Play MO on your 5:1 Bose
Open a fine single malt
Grab the Strat
Gaze at the universe through your 12" Meade
Watch Mike on the plasma
And... watch us beat the poms at cricket, in 3D soon!  :D

Also chriscotton still around, he lives a stones throw from mine.

No weeds eh!  :D

What do Kiwi's and sperm have in common?
Millions of them enter and only a couple of them actually work.

Oh yes: the answer is the "Isle of Wight ferry" ("Cowes" is a place on the I of W. The joke depends for its effect, of course, on being spoken rather than read.)

The progrmme, incidentally, was Six Dates with Barker, not The Two Ronnies. Each "date" is set in a different period. The one where jokes have become the new religion is, of course, set in the future. The other five dates didn't strike me as being nearly as funny.

Milamber: you have an amazing knack for finding just the right photograph! :laugh: What I want to know is why that person in the background is adopting a similar position!

Wiga: it looks as though you have your very own Hergest Ridge there! I suppose the sheep get fed those sweet-smelling turnips you see on farms in the UK.

G'day guys,

I'm a newish (couple years) Oldfield fan from Perth.  Fav albums are Tubular Bells 2003, Music of the Spheres, Amarok, and lately - Songs of Distant Earth.

Seems like a nice place you have here, I plan on sticking around as I've still got much to learn about this man's music, and enjoy discussing good music in general.

Good to see there's a few other Aussies onboard!

-Bubba

Hi Bubba
Welcome to the board :)
Always great to add another Aussie to the group.
You should check out some earlier works of Mike.
Ommadawn, Hergest Ridge and Five Miles Out are a good start.
How did you discover Mike?
And have you got a good Kiwi joke :D

A few years back, I had an older friend that was absolutely nuts about Mike, I kinda put it on the back burner and didn't start digging until a while after that.  I was a fan of the DVD-Audio format and was trying to find decent high resolution albums, at which time I stumbled across the 2003 Tubular Bells.  Then when Music of the Spheres came out I took a listen and at that stage I was hooked.

One thing I've noticed about Mike's music is that each album requires a fair few listens to digest properly, and they reward patience and attentive listening.  IMO most great music is like this.

I've heard Ommadawn a couple of times and really liked it.  I'll check those others out that you mention.  

Unfortunately I don't have a Kiwi joke right now, but I'll try and remember some and get back to you :p

Hi Bubba, I'm in Perth as well. Looks as though we Australians are going to take over! I vote we make Wiga an honourary Australian, though, as she's a bonza sheila  :D

Milamber, if you're starved for a kiwi joke, here's one:

An Australian ventriloquist visiting New Zealand, walks into a small village and sees a local sitting on his porch patting his dog. He figures he'll have a little fun.
Ventriloquist: "G'day Mate! Good looking dog, mind if I speak to him?"
Villager: "The dog doesn't talk, you stupid Aussie."
Ventriloquist: "Hello dog, how's it going mate?"
Dog: "Doin' all right"
Villager: (look of extreme shock)
Ventriloquist: "Is this villager your owner?" (pointing at the villager)
Dog: "Yep"
Ventriloquist: "How does he treat you?"
Dog: "Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food and takes me to the lake once a week to play."
Villager: (look of utter disbelief)
Ventriloquist: "Mind if I talk to your horse?"
Villager: "Uh, the horse doesn't talk either....I think."
Ventriloquist: "Hey horse, how's it going?"
Horse: "Cool"
Villager: (absolutely dumbfounded)
Ventriloquist: "Is this your owner?" (pointing at the villager)
Horse: "Yep"
Ventriloquist: "How does he treat you?"
Horse: "Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me regularly, brushes me down often and keeps me in the barn to protect me from the elements."
Villager: (total look of amazement)
Ventriloquist: "Mind if I talk to your sheep?"
Villager: "The sheep's a liar!"
