Mates got one in Milton Keynes - it in his conservatory all year round.

[QUOTE=Pollyana]To prove that it has good bits, as well as being sh*t in places -

Food -Moreton Bay Bugs
Sport - Cricket - could someone give Shane my mobile number please?
Animals - the strange creatures (someone said it may be koalas?) that make spooky screaming noises out on the lawn in the dark
A Beach - The Neck on Bruny Island is my favourite, complete with Fairy penguins, or Wineglass Bay, or the beach at Stanley.....runs for miles, really peaceful
A place - Queenstown in Tassie - weird landscape, beautiful surrounding scenery, or Port Arthur - odd eerie atmosphere and very very atmospheric
Lager - Cascade Premium
Wine - Yellowglen Pink - sparkling wine, someone tell me how many bottles I drank last night

Time you went home girl were doing a special for every 2 poms that go home were throwing in a free Aussie , sure the bloke would like this .... mm

I keep going home - trouble is I always have to come back
Which Pom would want to come with me though, so that The Bloke can travel for free

What's the bet that his banana tree is the most interesting thing in Milton Keynes...?
