I don't have anything useful to post, now that xld and kpuls have posted what I would have said. So I'll make a not-so-useful post, and say that I'd love to visit the land down-under. ;)

Zack - then we are at least two who want to go ;)
Kind regards,

Guys - you should visit ..... why not? :)
But be warned... Everyone that I know of from the Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden, etc) that's come for an extended visit have either found it impossible to go home or do go home then arrive back here on the very next plane :devil: - they say they can't get stand the cold any more! :rofl: :doh: there's always a price to pay for visiting paradise)Quote:

so true Ken. I know a couple of guys who have done that
John, Melb has European weather - ie it can be bleak and cold during an Australian summer.
Aaahhh... but there's an underlying strategy there y'know...Quote:

As a consequence we're now starting to get some medals for snow and ice events. Steven Brdbury led the charge for us in 2002 - now, he's not really a fast skater as some are mind you, but he's applied some Aussie enginuity, put his mind to it and showed everyone that it's really very important not to fall over, so, ROTW - watch out for the Aussie charge from now on... http://www.sptimes.com/2002/02/18/ne...hampion_.shtml
P.S. ?Accent? We don't have an accent
ROTFL! John, that's a great read!
I'll be sure to pass on to the Canadian hockey team that the Aussie skaters can stay on their skates... :rotlaugh:
Great read, great read. Most definitely. :yes
I still want to go to Australia. When I do my world tour, I'll swing by. But I better get treated to some world famous aussie beer by you guys! :D
Also, judging by how many Ozzie barmen there are in Londonj (yes, especially in Earls Court), I am amazed there is anyone left over there.Quote:
