Nope.

Is there anybody out there?

for "explaing", please read "explaining".

Spelling errors tend to ruin the dripping sarcasm and acid wit somewhat and I apologise unreservedly.

Shame about the e-mail address. I'll miss pre menstrual syndrome head quarters. I was eventually hoping to get a job working there. But I'm not sure if I'm sympathetic enough. A drug rep once told me that prozac had a new license for pms and I told her that prozac was a bit heavyweight just to treat something as trivial as pms (hey, at least I'm saying it exists). She was furious and shouted how would I know how bad pms is, never having suffered it. It shut her up when I said I'd suffered from REFERRED pms.

Thanks for explaing that AT means @ and DOT means .
Because I would never have worked that one out. I'm fully aware that you do not wish your new e-mail address to be harvested, but to the best of my knowledge, none of your friends are American and therefore would not require this explanation.

I hope no-one else felt patronised by the explanation (and by that I mean "talked down to").

Using the same cryptic Enigma-like fractal coding system, can anyone work out my favourite large walking All Terrain Armoured Transporter used by the Empire on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back?

Ah, the joys of New Zealand... I'm stuck on Stewart Island, they've cancelled this afternoon's ferry because of the weather. Tomorrow may be a bit iffy as well. I don't get a mobile signal here and my e-mail account is "currently unavailable", at a rate of $2 for 15 minutes.

Thank goodness there's a pub.

Hi Alasdair, (kia ora- )

Glad you are having a great time in New Zealand (Aotearoa). I visited NZ last year and you will not run out of things to do -esp in the South Island.

In Queenstown, (another highly sophisticated name for a city!) Highly recommended are the Glenorchy Safari boat ride ( but the Lord of the Rings Scenery tours are a bit tiring after a while), The Shotover Jet (pronounced jit in kiwi) and whitewater rafting down that river- you get to go through a tunnel at the end. Horse-riding is not too bad-I happened to have an intelligent horse who could anticipate everything.
I wasn't game enough to try the sky diving but apparently some very picturesque views once you get over the reality that you are jumping out of a plane.

I wasn't game enough to jump off a bridge either-but glad you enjoyed it. Half the fun is watching the reactions of the jumpers!

Are you heading to Milford Sound from here?

Call your Gallant Rust Bucket or That piece of sh.t!

Only women name their cars you fool!

I knew a guy called Arnie Cunningham and his 1958 Plymouth Fury was dubbed "Chisteen" by the previous owner that didnt go too well for him..

The last words (under water??) of Steve Irwine were ,The stingray is a nice enough fella if you leave him be, but they really get pissed when you stick your finger in their gills watch what happens when I . *uuck ** .. Nippy little bug.er.

That's weird...

Steve Irwin has just been killed by a stingray while diving off the Great Barrier Reef near Port Douglas.

When I was at Australia Zoo, I found myself looking at super-sized pictures of Steve Irwin and thinking "how funny would it be if he was killed by an animal today?" Only a couple of weeks out...

I was snorkelling at that reef just over a month ago!

What are the odds on his last word being "Crikey!"?

Hi Been reading about all your adventures and feel like I am with you, scary!!!!!!!! You sound as if you are having a fantastic time.
"Jack Ass" that is for the car's name and not you!!!!!!!! enjoy NZ, I would love to go and live there so keep me informed

I think you're all a figment of somebody else's twisted imagination.

Al,

I don't think anyone other than you leaves messages on your message board.

I think you make them all up.

You probably made this one up too.

Wow... I've seen Optimus Prime transform...
