Are there any Australian members in the garden?

Lon · Post by **Lon** » Mon Jan 31, 2005 2:24 pm

I will send an email to some Aussie mates and see if I can get them to join.

GReat. We need more of an international flavour in the garden. Pity I cannot get more Irish in here. But I suppose, One of me is enough :wah:

Cool! It's good to be curious or "nosey" as you so cutely put it.

I've got relo's up north, farmers near Drummaville Donegal if my memory serves correct.

What part of the Emerald Isle do you hail from?

Hi where do you live, I live in the central west.

Where did all these Ozzies come from? I thought it was just Alfred and me. Put yourselves on the FG googlemap and I won't feel so isolated over here.

I'm just having a quiet day a home in between race riots.

Why do you need a course in phone throwing?, are you talking about throwing your mobile when you get peed of with the person on the other end?

I'm coming to Coffs next week for a holiday, staying at park beach.

We have lots of space in Australia, maybe some of the Brits would like to come over as it's looking a bit crowded over in the UK.

What times the party at Alfred

bunnys · Post by **bunnys** » Mon Jan 09, 2006 3:45 am

Hi! Don't forget me, Im here in sunny and hot Melbourne.

The cost of living is rising, it's hot and the worms are eating the apples on my apple tree for another year. What can I do without spraying insectacide.

After watching the movie It's a wonderful life, I can see the humour in any situation as long as I keep remembering the movie.

See ya.:guitarist

amazing how it won't rain a drop for ages and then out of nowhere they'll come this huge amount of water from who cares where.

then the clouds bugger off for another long period of time.

why why why.

welcome to the garden.
