OMG!! I did a google search for 'Australian wisdom' and found this cool site, so posted it (naturally...) Just spotted the url... i'm SO sorry (minus the wine i would have spotted the offensive address sooner - wasn't meant - lplease don't be mad )

LOL - is there anything about erecting a carport?

love your sense of humour piglet. Did you emigrate or are you Aussie-born? (if you don't mind me asking?)

we have, indeed, given ourselves away.

i knew a german girl once

i wonder if it means anything in braille...?

are you really german?

impressive!

sylvester's day time rendez-vous might well be a good thing - but i'm proposing a post for night-owls and those of us who enjoy (or just need) a 'drink' in the dark hours. It's main function will be to serve as a platform to spout any old nonsense. Be as random as you like. A profound thought (original or quote) or a full-on rant.

The floor is yours...

whatever any victims' achievements/ambitions - it is/would be a tragic waste. what we choose to spend our limited time on is not a 'waste'.

don't ever think that.

if you're still checking in, pea, say hi

is it?

I had to laugh when I read your post, corinne - not at your misery, may I add, but at the image of my own mum that popped into my head. She did her best (in the past) to ask about my work but (even though i tried to explain simply) she soon got very obviously BORED of listening!! She's given up asking and actually glazes over if i volunteer information - can you believe it?!

I don't know which of our folks is worse.

Fun, H? Looks painful - how long d'ya reckon she could keep smiling for ? I'll give it a go and report back, it's got to be worth a giggle (and a wobble )

all good points lonelyroad - i began to get brave recently and got loads more positive feedback for sticking my neck on the line. trust yourself
