Morning all Wattlers, Sorry Rebs - my last post must have been one too bloody many - how petty minded are some peeps - maybe it was reported by the same twat that won't let it be shown on TV. Anyway on the upside we have certainly done our bit for tourism to Oz - now they'll all come flocking to see what the fuss was about - OH says our next ad campaign will end with F*** off - when we try to get them to all go back home - lol Congrats again to Tony & Barb - hope you got your money's worth - haha - will it be worth watching on the big night? Barb - sorry the CROWS beat your Dee's - it's only a game tho. If I follow a Vic team it is them as they are red and blue like my Norwood's back home. Anyone with convict ancestors might be interested in a new CD out 'Index to Colonial Convict Movements 1827-1853' $13.20 available by mail order from Gould Genealogy - http://www(.)gould(.)com(.)au/ Can personally recommend their service. Load of washing is about ready to be hung out and then it's into the shower and get ready for another day of work - yaaayy. Have a great day, catch y'all this arvo Gwenda

Bugger! Everyone was having so much fun and the PC brigade had to delete it. And if they object to me saying bugger - well it's on the TV commercials all the time! Bumperbar stickers, kid's T-shirts - everywhere you look there's a bugger somewhere! Ah well Rebs - it was hilarious while it lasted! (Stomps off cursing under her breath!)

yeah, but according to GR they only delete a thread if someone complains about it. Some self righteous twat doesn't have a sense of humour. We were all having a good laugh on there. Not like anyone was forcing them to read through it.

Well at least I got in before it was deleted. I couldnt remember the thread's proper name, so just for fun I typed in bloody - and guess bloody what - there are no less than 7 threads with the word bloody in it. Wot are they on about ? Jood

Well I'm bloody well shattered I am. They deleted my thread at 9:19 pmest. Pity some twat had to complain about it. It was so much fun.

Hi Laurie Yes the Europeans can be a little odd with their dogs. My nephew married a German lass and her rels bought their dogs to the wedding. My sister and her husband were there and as he is a sheep farmer told the dogs (in good ol' Aussie farmer speak) 'Get the bloody hell out o' there' at the top of his voice when one of them got too close to the food. Aussies....... you can take 'em any where ha ha ha :) Trifley

Hello all friendly wafflers . . . I haven't been able to catchupon all that has been going on - read three pages and realised I am hungry - need breakie! We're in Brussells now, had a terrific train trip thru from Koln yesterday - and all I can say about this place, is why did it take me so long to find it ! From my window I look down on to the most gorgeous cobbled laneway, chock a block full of galleries. The area we are in is Antique heaven, or chocolate lovers heaven or just plane heaven as the food and wine are pretty spectacular too! I will try and save a few Belgium truffles to bring to Yarrawongs - but to do that I am going to have to tie my hands behind my back. The little restraunt we dined in last night was so crowded, and everyone knew one another - we were the only newbies. They even bring their pets out to dine - seemed strange - but nice and friendly and everyone spoke to us. We're off to explore some more, just taken me an age to write up my journal, (excuse me Dr I think I have RSI from journal writing) I'll drop in when I can - be in Paris tomorrow. I might add - I am being spoilt rotten by the lovely Ray. Catch up with you all later cheers luv Laurie

Na Rebs, def tongue in cheek! Vonny

lol Jood, not sure if she is displeased or if her comments were tongue in cheek. Take a look at my thread on the tourism add. lol!! Trifley started all the misbehaving BTW. I was trying to be serious, however unsuccessfully. pmsl!!! Okay, am I imagining things or was there a Leslie in Yarrawonga posting on the tourism thread? He posted same piece as Vonny, but has since deleted. One of your mob Lara???

Which thread - which person is displeased? Surely not one of us! Us harmless people who win competitions, seek dead people, go on tatie diets, eat wagon wheels, and float in wading pools - surely not us??? Jood

Tread carefully be damned. GIve it to 'em, boots & all. Lew Lew !!!

Hmmm! Since the Bloody double Standards thread is still in existance, I thought I'd better not push, so I've kept my name as is. Don't thin k the thread will last for much longer though, a regular is already displeased.............I think? Either way, if we want the thread to continue we'll have to tread very carefully.

Ack shirley - I think the powers that be would think we were a b***dy buncha nuts!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldnt have thought of a betta name meself Reb - your'e sooo clever. Isnt ower Tony just the luckiest? I was going to go in a competition just to see if I was lucky l;ike Barb- but I wouldnt win a trip overseas, not even a trip to the Whitsundays - just a years supply of vitamins :-(( Ahhhhh well. Good things come to those who wait, and one day Tony'll shout us all something - a barbie - a beer - or a trip somewhere! I say we should all ban Daryl Somers from the show - he is sooo pathetic. Jood

Ooooo Rebs, Don't get banned!!!

Do you think the powers that be at GR would allow the new name???

Our gift to future generations. In a thousand years archeologists will unearth this thread and be amazed at how technalogically advanced we were. I always knew there was a reason I spent hours on this contraption ha ha ha :) Trifley

Nope, they stay there for ever and ever, amen. LewLew xxx

We have made it to page 20 on this thread. What happens to all the old replys? Do they just fall off into the ether? Trifley

Afternoon Wattlers Don't worry about the power points, WT. We've got them everywhere. The house is actually smart wired. You know, you phone home and tell it to close the curtains, dim the lights, open the front door and make sure the wine is poured!!!!!!! Mmmm, might end up replacing hubby, lol. Lucky Tony!! A bet you and Barb have a great time. Cushions sound like a great idea. Going out the check out the house again this arvo. I'll report again later. LewLew xxx

Shazz...It wasn't me...i didn't do it......lol It was her....the Irish one......begora W.T....lol. Maybe i should take a 'Whoopee' cushion. Actuallyyyyy.....they ( the freebies ) were given to Barb, by a volunteer, ( a client of Barb's )but it should be good, so looking forward to having a bo-peek. If anyone is going or driving into Melb. over the next few weeks....DON'T...its chaos. Catch a train. Tony Oz.. :>))
