Should be. The thing is, is that every time someone has a whinge here, I think of him and he has it pretty good here - you know? The Aussie dream exists for some. No 2 ways about it. Sure he has a real whinge too and I say, 'mate you think thats bad' etc.

Hes a one in a million and I'm glad I know him. He gave me the best memories of Australia and really got me in to all of it. He STILL continues to give us a good time.

Misconception biggie - yeah the heat 24/7. I feel sorry for the people arriving in Melbourne in the winter with their thongs.


cheers

First time I came over we changed planes in Melbourne on the way to Hobart; it was late April, and yes, people were in thongs and shorts, wandering round the airport and saying things like "Do you think we should buy a jumper dear, its a bit chillier than I expected".........some of them then flew onto Hobart, we had snow there on May 1st....poor frozen tourists.....

Is there a law that says I can't ask questions, carry on old threads? Nope, didn't think so...

you clearly haven't, you must have had to physically search for those threads. Why aren't you out enjoying the wonderful aussie lifestyle you often bleat on about.
