It was hot and I thought the smell was out of this World.

I hope people who work at the dump get paid lots of money.
I used to drive one of the trucks there, taking the waste to Landfill down south. You honestly get used to the smell and hardly notice it!

Michael Jackson was one of the better ones

Princess Di & Elvis however were in the same league as Whitney... The waxworks was in Surfers...the woman doing the 'tour' of the more sinister section which included severed plastic heads & bit of intestines was very theatrical & over rehearsed & didn't like her routine interrupted. Some poor little four year old got a roasting from her for daring to open her mouth during it.

I'd recommend this place if you just want a good laugh at the effort (or lack of it) put into the models...& like me just enjoy taking the piss

My own unit in 44 degrees. Because there are no laws protecting tenants from heat waves I was forced to spend the afternoon in a local restaurant with aircon.

I always wondered who could ever do the Waxworks in Surfers Paradise.

I can feel a trip to Surfers coming on.

I got called out of the audience at a theme park once to take part in the sound effects show.

So I pretended I was deaf.

Worst place to be right now is my kitchen.

Instead of clients giving us the usual nice wine etc, this year the general idea seemed to be 'give entire legs of ham'.

With two already shoved in the fridge, partner goes back to work and comes in with one weighing 11KG. Found it on his desk

I wouldnt mind but nobody here is that keen on ham anyway.
