I used to go to a convent in Glastonbury and met Mother Theresa there when I was 3.

Sorry Darren....I'm weak.

I'm trying to drink coffee here...and spluttering it out

I went to Stonehenge and saw Hawkwind.

Would have like to see Mother Theresa.

Sorry ...so am I.

she was fab but the support act let her down...I won't even mention the groupies. Like a scene from Father Ted on acid.

Sorry again Darren

Weirdstone

Did you ever see the one at the fair ??

See you in on another thread ??...he must be really pissed off by now ... well, he would be if he was online ..
he's only done 4 posts bless him.

watched it only last week.

Sorry Darren, if you've learnt only one thing from this thread it will be that at least two, very strange women live in Aus. You have been warned!

Weirdstone

And not to go to Adelaide or Melbourne..

Loved the Spinning Cat !

Another one which had me in stitches was the Hairy Japanese Bastards !

Ross's mum's like Mrs Doyle....'are you sure you don't want a cup of tea, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on..........'

Sorry Darren, at least you know you can see Father Ted over here, so that's a bonus.

I've not seen it since I left England

I truly am sorry & did not wish to cause any offence. I have notvisited myself, I was passing on the impression my folks gave. They felt that there were an awful lot of old folk ghettos & they preferred Sydney as a city, more vibrant. They also said Melbourne was more English.

Hope this will also serve to bring the thread back on topic!

Melbourne is more European than 'English' with large Italian and Greek communities and so, influence.
It certainly isn't full of English like I've heard Perth is..
Sydney...which I've been to - is busy, busy, whereas Melbourne is more vibrant and full of culture.

I wouldn't have said there are a lot of 'old-age' ghettos...
But I'm just a nurse whose lived here for 3 years...

Sally Simpson

Like I said, was not meaning to offend!
You live there so should have a far superior idea of what it is like!
My parents went to visit my uncle who lives in a retirement village so maybe their perspective was skewed!
