Laurie. In a word.....No Nite mate.

Well I have to agree with you Laurie. There is no plausible explanation pmsl ;-pppppp Jeff you'll find I'm the only sane one on here lol ;-) Cat the angelically royal one from the North-West of another country ;-))))

btw Yvette congrats on the number ;-)))

Morning all, looking like a nice day here, hope it doesn't get toooo hot. Hope all the sick ones are feeling better today. Anyone heard from Flutters or Raggy Bear lately - or seen them around? Raggy Bear hasn't been on (as far as I know) - since just after she arrived home from Perth. Have a great day all Jood

Hello all, and Jeff. Nice to see another bloke on the thread, and another Pom at that. I've found a website that's going to help me get to grips with the language, it's koalanet.com.au, an Aussie slang dictionary among other things, but thanks to Jood for helping me out with pmsl, I doubt if that's in there. I think I'm going to need it permanently open when I'm on here. No, Mary, I've never been to Oz. I live in Towcester (pronounced toaster) in Northamptonshire, but really I'm from Whitwick (pron Whittick) in Leicestershire. Have you noticed how the English like place names that are not pronounced like they're spelt? Must be to confuse foreigners. Good nite, Waggy

We'll have you talking like an aussie in no time Waggy! But please feel free to ask - it's the only way to learn. Jood

Oh that's how you pronounce Towcester, you learn something new everyday :-) ~~~~~~~to Jood

Good Morning Wattlers, Expecting 30 here today, yet still quite cool overnight. Beautiful days at the moment eh Lara! Oooh I see we have had visitors since I last looked in, if I’d known I would’ve taken out me curlers and put on some lippy! Welcome to Jeff ! Really all you have to do on this thread is mind your P’s and Q’s ! Oh, and if you’re from Coventry Jeff, then you probably knew my Ag Labs from the early 1800’s in rural Kent, lol ! I’m a mere serf from Albury on the main Hume Highway between Melbourne and Sydney. Vonny the boat looks fabulous and I got the piccy at last. Are you aiming for an Easter Launching? Yvette, are YOU going for that job as a lingerie waitperson? How was the interview lol. Must off to now to earn a crust for tonight’s supper, to go with the leftover gruel from the weekend that Vonny so kindly sent me ……. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~to all, Hz

g'day all. Thanks for the welcomes etc. Hi Waggy. Right down to business: I'll get the billy boiling and we'll all have a nice cuppa. lol Oh - and I'm not quite as old as that, although I do remember Ned Kelly's execution... It's raining here just for a change.

It's been dry here all day :-)

It never rains does it?

Never rains where??? or is it it never rains but it pours???

A lot of us have connections with Ned Kelly in some way or other Jeff, even if our ancestors just lived in and around the area. Geez - didnt take Hz long to put the lippy on and take out the curlers just coz there were some guys around .. hahaha I'm off out again - see you all later. Love Jood

Good Morning Wafflers, See we are in fine form early this morning . . . must be the beautiful day that we have been blessed with. Botany Bay looks glorious, all blue and shiny, Rake man has just started his big job on the beach, there are two women out in front of him with metal detectors. Lots of lottle fishing boats bobbing on the watter, and the kite board thingys are right out in front of me. There are 4 giraffe necks stretched high in the sky, and an oil tanker has just tied up alongside at Kernell. ~~~~~~~ Jood, Tony, Heather, Darn Cat, John, Jeff . . . cuppa sounds good! I am having a very PINK day today . . . got to attack the cooking for TLR's Morning tea in the Pink at work tomorrow . . got my supply of food coloring and all the pink foods . . . sound like I have to cater for 30 so hope they can find their wallets. It's also our 35th wedding aniversary tomorrow . . seems like only yesterday ! teehee Ah well hope everyone has a wonderful day . . . make the most of it and smile often !! luv Laurie

Bye Jood :-)
