We have been here two weeks, I.can access some material down here and will pass it on Frank.
Glad to see some other ex-Oranjemunders are now Queenslanders. Go the Maroons! Uwe
At least you have rugby union and league in Qld and NSW. Here in Tas all you get is bloody AFL for the entire weekend.
Drives me f**** insane.
We hardly see union even when the Wallabies are playing. The last time they showed a game was at about 1.00 am in the morning after like 12 hours of AFL.
All I can say is ... I've heard all about Tas - I'm staying put in sunny Qld.
I did live down in Victoria for seven years but never got down to Tas I thought it to close to Antarctica ill-3d.
We lived in Durban for awhile and its on the same line of latitude as Brisbane (well roughly) and liked the weather there.
The best thing about Melbourne is the Hume Hwy out bye_bye, sorry to all those living their !!!!! and I love VFL Oops AFL OK what ever they call it................GO the LIONS

They actually showed the Stormers-Broncos match last night from 9.30 pm. Only because there was no AFL on. But at least we got the game. Iwatched the second half and it was bloody good. Stormers made too many mistakes and it cost them.
By the way, I am moving to Coffs Harbour in early 2011. Back to the sun!

I know this is the wrong post but this joke says it all.............Frank
An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the
world. So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Orlando, thinking
that he would start by working his way across the USA from South to
North.
On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he
noticed
a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read '$10,000 per
call'.
The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what
the telephone was used for. The priest replied that it was a direct line
to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God.The American thanked
the priest and went along his way. Next stop was in Atlanta . There, at a
very large cathedral, he saw the same looking golden telephone with the
same sign under it. He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he
saw in Orlando and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was. She told
him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could
talk
to God. 'O.K., thank you,' said the American. He then travelled all
across America, Europe, England, Japan, New Zealand.
In every church he saw the same looking golden telephone with the same
'$US10,000 per call' sign under it. The American decided to travel to
Australia to see if Australians had the same phone.
He arrived at Perth in Western Australia and again, in the first church
he
entered, there was the same looking golden telephone, but this time the
sign under it read '40 cents per call.'
The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign.
"Father, I've travelled all over the world and I've seen this same golden
telephone in many churches.. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven,
but in all of them price was $10,000 per call. Why is it so cheap here?"
The priest smiled and answered, "You're in Australia now, son - it's a
local call". allgood 202
Good One Frank....Put a smile on my face...
If that telephone had been in SA, Telecom would charge R 500 000 per call, greedy Bastards that they are.....

Or the phone would be out of order.....

We are still down here in Brisbane (I say that because Hervey Bay is 300 kilometers north) a member of the family has been ill and we are staying with my son, you will be wondering were this is going allgood
My son's are all into IT technology and when ever these new fangled gadgets come out they get them.
So they have the 16gb i phone, well before they were introduced here in Australia
Well they all did have these until the other day!!! Margaret put my sons shorts through the washing machine and yes the Bloody phone was in the shorts msn emoticon (68)
We were up at the pool a few days ago and he forgot his digital camera was in his swimmers.
So in just a few days he has blown $1500 and to top all this my car was not completely in the garage and the auto door
was activated.... 202
