Could I interest u lot in some Hot Weather up there in cold Clime Central? Way too much here at the moment. How about I flick-pass 10 degrees C to you guys and that will cool us down to a comfortable 23-25 C and warm you lads up.

Warm weather!?!?!? Yes please!! Could do with some of that round here.

Too late! Tropical storms now. Egad, it's wet here. Is it true that parts of Cold Central are almost in drought? I saw this bloke on TV explaining that somewhere south of London their Dam was really low and they might need to think about water restrictions. I laughed of course, it's that damned silly. Is it true?

Not sure. Though they did havehosepipe bans a few years ago during a really watrm summer. But it's winter!! Not as if the UK doesn@t get any rain.

Hey, have a read of this news item from the Sydney Morning Herald...

Tourism Minister Fran Bailey heads to Britain today to seek a reversal of the ban on Australia's latest advertising campaign.

The $80 million campaign features the theme: "So where the bloody hell are you?"

Britain's Broadcast Advertising Clearance Centre has told Tourism Australia to edit out the word "bloody", but Ms Bailey is standing by the campaign.

"I will take the message to the British regulator that our ad is cheeky, friendly and very Australian," Ms Bailey said in a statement.

"I find it laughable that any advertising regulator could find the campaign anything but friendly - perhaps they need a restful holiday Down Under."

Ms Bailey said she was seeking a meeting with the British minister responsible for the advertising regulator, Tessa Jowell.

"I will ask the minister to watch the ad herself, to see the beautiful images mixed with a cheeky message, and ask her to review the decision of the regulator," she said.

While the campaign has been banned from commercial television, it will run in cinemas, newspapers and on the internet.

It is due to be launched officially in Britain on Monday.



You would think there would be far worse things shown on British TV, than an Ad mentioning the word Bloody!
