Happy anniversary SV!

It'll be The Dreadful's third anniversary later this month...

*wanders in, looks around for large amounts of cake*

*remebers recent self help book about avoiding excessive eating, and decides to have a salad instead*

*realises to late that the salad was in fact a tree from the garden*

*wanders off, hoping no one's noticed the difference*

*Matina waits for the mammoth to leave then brings out an anniversary cake for Santra*

But I promise not to eat any .

Just be careful where you sit

Hi, dgbibulli! Have a mufflewhump

Hello, Amy,, and G'day from Godzone . for the mufflewhump (I looked at the definition)
Now I know what's been missing in my life.
P.S. Any spares,

Happy Anniversary, SV! And here's hoping you have a Dreadful anniversary, Mr. D.

> Just be careful where you sit

If Wooly does sit on the cake, we'll just have a pancake... badump-dum.

SV!

I hate waking up at 4.30 - too early to get up and too late to go back to sleep.

Congrats, Santras!

Why Ben, 4.30 is a good time for going to sleep.

Happy aniversary SV!

I've occassionally wondered why NZ and Aus are called Godzone? Is it because they are warm and nice?

, New Zealand is definitely not part of Godzone, except if they vote to become our 7th state

Ah. Well, there you go then. Shows how much I know. What is Godzone and why, then?

Well, it's short for "God's own country" but that doesn't really progress us much further.

Where to begin?
Godzone means God's Own.
We are a blessed country, with so much natural beauty and mineral resources the of the world.
We are a multi-cultural society, with people from all nations living here, and blending in, mostly anyway.
We are so far away that conflict doesn't reach ous shores, or is dissapated by the time it arrives.
Sports mad of course, especially cricket, rugby (both codes), tennis, golf, etc.
The weather is fantastic.
So much more to say, but best you come and see for yourselves.
"You will never never know, if you never ever go"
P.S. I was living in Sydney before, during and after the 2000 Olympics. Thousands of backpackers from Europe here at the time and they had a ball. It was truly.
Anyway check out any of the many web sites about Australia, including www.koalanet.com.au/australian-slang and you will get a wonderful knowledge of our humour.
to be so long-winded. Big s from me. By the way, I was born in the UK, North East, Newcastle.

I've been to Australia - the weather was terrible.

You do know that Yorkshire people tend to argue that Yorkshire is god's own country don't you? Mad, the lot of them (I married one).

Pah! Scotland is better than Australia and Yorkshire combined!

My colleague at work comes from Yorkshire and is only happy when he is miserable. His face would break if hed> As for the Scots, what do tou think Hadrian's Wall was built for?

I'll check that out tomorrow, Mr D - going for a short w**k trip to Ayr. Better make sure it doesn't rain there...

Hoots mon, the best thing coming out of Scotland is the highway ng
