INdeed they can, persuading an australian to speak properly is not an easy task, good thing Kara has become fluent in New Zuland. What am I talking about? not sure.

[glen]

There are heaps of sandflies on the west coast of the south island. They hang around rivers and forests. I know that much as I was always near the water fishing...and getting eaten alive!!! The sand flies REALLY loved me!

[glen]

Well it is not fun for everyone which is one of the great things about it! Otherwise there would be more fishers than fish!

[glen]

Yes it can have a negative result if you use fish as bait and don't catch anything. You end up with a negative score!!! eeeek!

[glen]

No I prefer a positive score <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[glen]

hahaha! Well you score big in the gym peter. Every set is a score!!!

[glen]

I managed to lose several kilos in the last week by walking all day long (and the occasional bit of fishing). Slogging around the swamps and tarns in the tasmanian highlands is good exercise!

[Kara85]

Cara Kara.

Do I NOT make sense?

[/quote]



ahhh, well if it'd been hot ... i would think you are referring to the heat BUT it's quite the opposite unless you're worried you won't survive this freakishly cold xmas?

[glen]

I think cricket is a bit dull so maybe it is surviving the watching of an entire cricket match?

Hey Glen!



Cricket these days is so fast!

Sometimes it only lasts 3 or 4 days!

[/quote]



ONLY 3 or 4 days

If you are lucky, you may get 5 days in a row out of a game, without a result, this is the pinnacle of test cricket.



I go for the following reasons:



I like grass.



Sheep like grass.



I hope to meet a sheep.



You get to drink bottled water that costs $7. This makes me feel:



Special.



Aristocratic.



Virginal.



So cricket is by far a better sport than table tennis because it's outside.

Ah John B.



I like a man who is not easily offended!

It means I must try harder!



But: "Sexy forearms" Hmmmm no I don't think so!

[/quote]





My small, thin, glistening and smooth forearms are amoung my finest of features in the arm area, they need to be institutionalised for future generations.
