Have a fab trip Kooks!

happy Easter!

ooh...that reminds me. Got a big slab of Cadburys Dairy Milk in the fridge, must go and scoff a couple of lumps

Steady on Spike....a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips....


I'd better get the fat jeans out....

Have a great weekend everyone! We're off to Florida, USA early tomorrow morning & Slinkette is peeved because her grandma says she has to wear a dress to Easter brunch on Sunday

Have a good trip Kooky and Neo.

I know. Having scoffed two large slabs I shall now go and say 1500 Hail Marys in repentence. But being completely unreligious I suspect that Mary will take no notice whatsoever.

Speaking of religion, here's a little story told to me by a Muslim friend.

It's the Samaritans call centre in Afghanistan and a call comes in from Ahmed. The transcript of the call reads as follows:

Ring Ring
Hello
Hello, is this the Samaritans?
Yes my friend, how can I help you?
My name is Ahmed and I need to talk to someone.
Sure Ahmed, that's what we're here for, what would you like to talk about?
Well, life really sucks for me and I'm getting really depressed.
I'm sorry to hear that. How is this depression affecting you?
Well, to be honest it's so bad I'm seriously thinking about suicide.
Oh that's terrible.....(long pause).......Ahmed, can you drive a truck?

Spike. If there was a hell, you would have a 1st class ticket there for that. Well done!!



PS - In a spooky, coincidental sort of way, some guests on their way to Oz dropped off a 1kg bar of Cadbury's Milk Choccie. I don't even care that it's metric...

Happy Easter & Happy Equinox!

I hope you have a great trip, Kooky!!

Spike you deserve a

Happy Holiday? Just seen the UK weather forecast - snow?

Fingers crossed that you packed your wet weather stuff, K. Looks like Armageddon outside.

But on a positive note - don't think we'll get snow....

Because the AB is the whinge about SG board and this is the one for everywhere else!

Ouch ouch ouch ouch.......more more more more

Bloody awful weather here and Tas is blaming us for bringing some rain. Shame we didn't bring the temperature too.

Oh gentlemen, here's a tip for you - sharing a section of an A380 plane with approximately 80 teenage Japanese schoolgirls is nowhere near as much fun as it may sound.

You're just saying that....

and, just for easter, Canberra has turned cold and windy. Oh well, tracky daks and DVDs it is then...

Happy Easter everyone!

But Canberra is always like that!

Misconception - Canberra has 4 distinct seasons. Summer is (bloody) hot, so we look forward to winter, and winter is cold (with crisp but clear days), so we look forward to summer. Spring and autumn/fall are beautiful, especially the autumn colours, It's very rarely humid, which was one thing that drove me nuts after a while in Singapore. Rainfall, like most places in Oz has been very low the last few years - we're in drought, with water restrictions in force.

Season : Avg. Minimum - Avg. Maximum (Celsius)
Spring : 5 - 19
Summer : 12 - 27
Autumn : 7 - 20
Winter : 1 - 12

These are averages, overnight in winter can get as low as -9, and summer can get up to 39.

80 Japanese school girsl? I would have thought I'd died and gone to Fat Bob heaven......or was about to die and go to Fat Bob hell with a huge grin on my face!

Weather...who cares? The holiday is about to begin. YAY !
