Evening Wattlers. Hi Julie. Wishing you a nice Sunday mate.... 8:00pm here on the East Cost ( Victoria ) The heating is on, as we prepare for our upcoming winter, although you would probably laugh at our Winter......nothing like yours......:>)) Looking forward to my trip to London in June-July, so hope your summer is warm one this year. Did i tell ya Collingwood won!!!! Joodles. I receive about 10 jokes a day 7 days a week, and the Please pass this on ones, else ya house will burn down. If it's funny, send it on. Don't p*** people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth who has been tied to the bum of a dead elephant for 27 years and whose only salvation is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if you forward this email. Now forward this to everyone you know. Otherwise, tomorrow morning your underwear will turn carnivorous and will consume your genitals. These ones annoy the hell outa me, and i delete them straight away......:>)) Did i tell ya Collingwod won!!!! He'y Lara...did you tell peeps that collingwood won? Vonny. Happy 1st birthday to your Grandaughter x Sue ( Tassie ) Commiserations mate....:>)) x x Hi to everyone else. Tony Oz..:>)) ps Magpies won.

HI everyone Another nice day here .. starting to sound like a broken record,, wish we had some rain..no rain predicted for the next week.. The very nice gentleman who is going to buy the caravan came round today and gave me a deposit,, not that I asked for one..he is so nice I am glad he has bought it as I now am starting to feel a bit sad that it is going but now I know it is going to someone who thinks it is lovely makes me a lot happier..I took some picks of the inside of the van today so that I will have something to remember it by..We have had 10 fantastic years with touring around OZ with it and it has never let us down so I cant complain.. Now I was going to say on a brighter note ... but I cant as we lost..bugger... never mind next week is another day and the red and white will prevail..just you wait ... Will have to start on the garden next week as that is my next project.. Better luck next week with the lotto..are we just waiting for the big one..??? Glad to see most are well and those little ones who arnt,, a speedy recovery.. Lots of love Maryxxx

I guess Collingwood won then pmsl ;-) does raindance for Mary :-)

Hey Tony, Do you wanna know a secret????? Pies won Booo Hooo Congratulations, better team on the day, Ooh that hurt, lol. Oh well what goes around comes around We will getcha next time, Says me with fingers crossed behind back Going to droown my sorrows now. Bye Sue :-(((((((

Thanks Julie would appreciate that...

I know what you mean Tony - its just the repitition - same old jokes doing the rounds. If the peeps are newbies, they think its great - they send it to you *groan* but sometimes I get 2-3 copies of the same joke I got the day before - because they've been passed on to mutual friends who send them to me. And my server sends them twice. The friends dont 'talk' any more - they just send jokes. Ahhhhhhhhh thanks heavens for Wattlers tho. Mary - so glad to hear about the caravan being sold - at last. Rebs - am wearing one of my scarves tonight - not my english one, but a similar one, gee they keep you warm. Hope everyone is well - and warm. Jood

Joodle. I love a good joke, and some are really quite funny and witty. The ones i dont like are the: Pass this on to ten people...'otherwise'. Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my house and skin me in my sleep for not continuing a chain letter that was started by St Peter in 5AD and brought to this country by midget pilgrim stowaways on the Endeavour...lol Sue. Did i tell ya ........nah, you already know....:>)) Tony Oz...:>))

Tony - I've broken so many chain letters I probably won't get to heaven :-(( If only my computer could go through the jokes and think 'yes - she's had that one before - out it goes'. I might ring Bill Gates up and ask him if he can create a fix hahaha Jood

Oh nooooooooo :-(((((((( Sorry Mary, I did that rain dance and it worked but it worked over here. I did tell it Sydney but stupid weather got it wrong :-( Juliexx

Julie - maybe you were supposed to do the rain dance on your head. After all, we are 'down under' ........... tsk tsk pmsl Jood

Joodles PMSL :-)

Evening all, cooling off a bit here tonight - think it must be about 17deg. We had a lovely drive around the beaches today - went and watched the big surf . . . massive! Needed the spray jacket as the water was splashing way up the cliff face. We had a walk along the cliff walkway north of Coggee, and watched the brave idiots surfing. The jet skis would drag them out into the path of the wave and then collect them and take them out for another go. You could tell they knew the area - where to go and where not to go - but glad it was them not me. There were so many using the walkways - lovely to see. I'm feeling a tad smug - have reunited a family today. A guy in Dundee and the family of his gt uncle in Carringbah. Only took three phone calls - picked at random of a very common name - I gave them one anothers email addys and phone numbers and just had a call back from the lady in Carringbah to say that they have spent two hours catching up on msn. Hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow whatever you may be up to Take care cheers luv Laurie PS I gather from the message on the other Boards that our Tony has had some success with detective work also. . . well done Sherlock

Morning Wattlers, Yes Tony...........i hate those chain letters. I think i will be whereever you are Joodle as i never send them on either, just hit the delete button. .......I do feel sorry for the lepper with no teeth, strapped to the bum of a dead elephant for 27 years.......... pmsl. Julie. Can you do another rain dance for Victorian, Glenalbyn in particular. on your head if that is how it has to be lol.....we would love some rain.......OH waiting....waiting....waiting....getting antsy. I did some gardening yesterday as well, must be the sunny weather bringing out all the gardeners.. I shifted a palm tree out of the fernery..........can someone remind me what a big job that is next time i get the urge to move trees? lol. Ok all i am off to a course for work, hope the guy running it doesn't ask so many questions this morning....he really puts you on the spot, and i don't want to look too dumb infront of the others, and i have not done my home work.....feel like a kid at school. Then i go straight to work from there, makes a long day, i won't be home until about 10.30 this evening.....feeling tired just writing about it lol. Have a great day all take care Wilson

Morning everyone(waving), looks like the sun may make it through the clouds today, I hope so the line is full after the weekend and this afternoon the garden needs some attention. Julie Cat, can you send that rain over next week, I'll be in London for a week from next thursday and would really like it if it was dry over there and it can rain here while I'm gone...lol Joodles it just wasn't meant to be, we will win lotto when we are meant to, hopefully when it s about 20mil and we are the only winners. Someone else must have really needed it this week. Hey Tony did I hear that the magpies won????So I guess you've ordered your finals tickets...pmsl Have a good dayeveryone I'm off to clean bathrooms....one of my favourite jobs.......NOT Jude2

Good morning all . . . lovely sunny day on Botany Bay. We had a glorious sunrise this moring, a little cloud cover to make it all more mysterious, and the planes coming in to land through it - all looked bewdiful. I don't believe what I see at the moment there are 11 - yes 11 giraffes with their heads in the sky. Boy things must be slack on the wharves today - and the moorings are empty over at Kernell too. Will have to find jobs to do on the balcony this afternoon to keep my eye on ship movements. Think we might have to think of something other than the old rain dance . . . they dont seem to be working. Strange the weather paterns, one lot of my family have finished putting their crops in - the others are like you Wilson . . . waiting, waiting - strange peeps you farmers, waiting in anticipation for the rain so you can spend your days and nights going round and round and round and round !!!! Oh fellow travel addict, have a wonderful week in old London Town - I have a lot of the morning sorting some of my photos onto disc, (still heaps to do) reliving all the wonderful places we went . . . at least it will be a little warmer for you . . . enjoy! (Do tell where you will be going what you will be doing) OK so I have taken Judy and Tony off my mailing list - anyone else just let me know! I do delete the chain thingys, (well I hope they disappear cause thats my intention) before I send anything on that may give a smile or a chuckle - and all the previous fwd addys, mind you I only send on a small fraction of what I receive my garbage bin gets a good meal most days. I admitt - I have some weird rellies. I'm off to Office Works to see if they have any folders big enough to store my copies of the ships logs we got at Kew - then I will have to find a spot to keep them flat. It was great that Ray was able to photograph them as well - my back up. I always dread going to those stores - come away with more than I went for. Glad to say I am not the only one, Ray tends to be the same. Lots of useless good stuff in the desk drawers. Have a great Monday all - catch you later cheers luv Laurie

Afternoon all I hope everyone is well, I have read messages but I am running blind as I havent got word up and running again on puta as yet. Hows the head Tony ???? Hope its hurting lol. Anyway now that I have said that hopefully you will answer a question for us. Pretty please. When we come to Melb we are thinking on stopping at a shop on the way, but didnt want to go too far off our route or stop in the city. What we want to know is does Dandenong have Big W, or Kmart, or something along those lines, as it is not far off the highway as we will be coming under the tunnel (cant think what they call it) We was thinking on maybe getting a couple of easter eggs and maybe a cheap DVD player if we can find one for Davids parents. As for putas well our puta is back up and running, but not before we had to wipe everything and start from scratch, but at least I saved all my family history stuff, we didnt save our favourites folder so the only links we have are the ones that are on the other puta, but I dont get on there much as it is sooo slow, so if anyone knows any must have links can you forward them please. I know Tony has his list on this site so I can look at them, its just if anyone has any different, only need links with UK though. Well not much else is news here, we have a cool cloudy day today, heaters on, expecting rain tomorrow. Well must go and do a bit more with this puta, reloading programs etc etc. Cheers Sue
