Not really got much time because I'm at work... This is my new desktop background.
Sorry it's not an ass this time:
The last one seemed to go down so well that I thought I'd post another...
Terry And Belinda

We are all looking forward to catching up with you at Xmas. Info has been emailed to Debbie's yahoo address. Have fun in Queensland.

Hi Debbie and Alec,
enjoyed seeing the photos of your adventure, hope you are having a great time and hope that you have a nice Christmas with Terry, Belinda and family.
P.S. Message sent by Stuart up at Nanna and Grandad's house whilst visiting before x-mas.
mmmm - that's traditional!

Hey both,
glad to hear that you're enjoying having the van more... especially as it was Kath and I who suggested it was such a good way to get around and things (... although getting a bus around Oz is my idea of what hell might be a little bit like, so perhaps we have different opinions).
Byron was under 4 feet of water when I was last there and 3 people died, so watch out for that one ... in case they come back as zombies or something. The cinema stayed open so, you can always surf to the cinema and catch a talkie; although the cinema is a likely place for zombies to get a job... sneak up behind people in the dark and eat their brains... so be careful of that too! Wear a crash helmet while you watch the film.
Have fun - Daniel.

loved the photos of OZ the senary looks fantastic, sometimes cold but very picturesque. was worried about this particular photo, could'nt decide if you were absolutly famished or had forgotten all of those valuable lessons from Edna. though it did highlight the resemblance you have with your father ha ha love from mam and dad smith
looks like you're having a great time in down under and you're learning that everything which Neighbours teaches the world is a lie, and it does actually get cold and wet and grim in OZ too. I think everything which is circulated about Australia in popular culture (TV, movies, breakfast cereal packets, shampoo, in your dreams and so on) is all just propaganda spread around to help the Australian tourist industry which would be in serious trouble if everyone knew about the cold and the wet and the armed gangs which roam the highways looking for fresh meat to put in their prize winning pies. I won't mention Wolf Creek because someone will end up crying, but even Wolf Creek, despite its gruesome girlfriend upsetting storyline, made Australia seem warm and dry. Lies lies lies. It would have been a different story if the nasty outback man had had to carry an umbrella with him while he chased people around and hacked them to pieces (just to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it)... unless it was one of those two piece umbrellas with the vents to let the wind out but not the rain in, he could probably run with one of them, but he'd still only have one hand free. The van looks pretty good - still don't get the joke, but never mind, I don't get a lot of jokes... dad had a good one the other day. Ha ha, just remembered it. (ooh - putting a smiley into the text is a voyage into the unknown!). Hope the bed and things are comfortable and the cooking is good and you're not feeling too down on the van - I know after the power and prestige of the Leon, the Janetta and the Porches you're used to a beat up Mitsi van might compare poorly... just hope it doesn't feel too much like you're driving around getting ready to put air conditioning in places. Things here are very good. Was home picking up my new car over the weekend... and it's absolutely brilliant - It's like night rider, but only in as much as I have to wear skin tight sprayed on jeans and a leather jacket when I drive it. But I wear a lot of that anyway, so no danger there. Everyone at home is good, Nick was about for a bit and he's great, Mum and Dad are good, so is Grandma and Nana. Caroline has disappeared again. I think she was at a toga/bedsheet party on Friday... apparently it had something to do with studying classics or politics or philosophy or something, but I'm not certain. Kathleen's just got back from Orkney where she was for a few days last week to look at how they provide health care when there's only 15 of them on the island ('...is it my turn to wear the nurse's outfit today?'). It was sunny and fun and nice apparently. She had to hop around the islands in a 6 seater Volkswagen beetle with wings and the runways were so short they had to turn the propellers off on the approach so they were going slowly enough to stop when they touched down (the islands are pretty small so you have a danger of falling off the other end if you're going too fast). So... that helped her fear of flying ('!!! Did you know the propellers have stopped?!!!' ?Yes ? I turned them off? don?t worry? ?!!!??!!??!?).Anyway - I'll speak to you later on, I have stuff to do. Hope you got my email the other day. What makes you think it was me who put up that picture of an ass?Take it easy - D. PS: What exactly is Stallone supposed to be proud of ... ? That you fell over? That you have a fruity wink? That you didn't cry much when you fell over?
