Not as far as I know.

He did talk about going over there to work for a few years bt I think he is pretty established here now and has an Australian son...he also has an extremely well paid job which he enjoys.....he used to travel a few times each year to the UK for work purposes so kept in touch with everyone.

Interestingly, my brother, who has lived in the US for nearly 40 years is talking about going back to the UK to retire.

I do know what you mean but I find it strangely relaxing in the background as I'm browsing t'net.

I miss the classic GPs of the 60s, the sound of a Lotus Climax did it for me

I was making a joke about Dorothy from Wiz of Oz. But, now you mention it;

Yesterday on a post on the canada section, Ontario!

Future elsewhere and you and Western Australia rings a bell.

Don't be so sensitive..............shall we leave it at that? Or are we having a barney on here, eh?

Hope this post won't get messy!
Can't think of anything I hate (except for obvious things like killer spiders of course) except for the humidity in the summer, but that is only because it makes my hair frizz, so really I suppose I am saying that I just hate frizzy hair!

the lack of high-quality locally-produced TV shows. Australian TV is way too Americanized.
