    I've never been so good at the whole counting thing, but I think that you may be 100 or so off the mark, mate...? :o

    I signed up for the Leukaemia Foundation's 'Shave for a Cure' thing today. I'm still a little hesitant about the idea, but I guess that I've got until March to get used to the idea of being bald :eek:

    Lol! I'm not sure that Skater would trust me with an attractive young daughter such as her Lil in my house for too long. Us accountant types are fairly shady, hey Mike? :eek::D Ahem. Anyway. :o I've found recently that my taste in music is getting worse as I get older. Or, more mainstream...

    That just reminded me of Vic Chesnutt. Passed away a few days ago, the last of several attempts by his own hand. For those who haven't heard of him; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7xbL1_wUvg Chesnutt was a quadriplegic. His immediate family had all died by the time he was 25, and he was...

    Excellent news. I had a fantastic xmas, thankyou; and I hope that you did, too :) As for my new toy; I just wandered into the Three store earlier today with idle curiousity, and wandered back out fifteen minutes later with a free iphone. They waived the break fee (only two-thirds into the...

    Just testing out my new iphone, making sure that it works on the forum. Would have been a shame to have to take it back :p

    I've been sitting outside in the sun for the best part of the last hour or so, with my laptop and a steady supply of coffee. What a beautiful way to start a Monday morning :)

    Hey, thanks for bumping this thread; I quite enjoyed it. I also quite enjoy beer, but I'll wait until later this afternoon for that :) It's been a very interesting couple of weeks here, with a friend of mine down from Sydney for awhile. I haven't worked any overtime or weekends this month at...

    Yeah, it's an adaptation of an old Celtic and Pagan ritual, from memory. All Hallows' Eve. From a modern culture perspective though, it seems to be portrayed (rightly or wrongly) very much an Americanism.

    It's Halloween soon, I'm told. I remember that it never used to be the done thing here, just an Americanism. But, much like the rest of their culture, it seems to be quickly becoming the standard. I've lost count of how many Halloween parties are going on this month. I do wonder though...

    I had to get my name changed when I was 16 and went to apply for the airforce. Was a surprise to me at the time, but up until then my surname was still legally just Gatherum, despite being enrolled in school and going around known as Gatherum-Goss. My youngest sister is the only one of us...

    I started at 20, I think. There or thereabouts. Possibly not helping my own cause by not wearing them very often.

    Ah, no, actually. We drove over Thursday night, arrived at Glenelg for breakfast Friday morning and spent the day exploring the beach and Adelaide itself. By nightfall we were both fairly tired so decided to just get a pizza and a couple of bottles of wine and kick back at the hotel for the...

    Maybe, maybe, but wasn't the weather just beautiful in Adelaide over the weekend? Couldn't have timed my little roadtrip any better. And to top it all off, the sun has followed me home to Melbourne. Love it!
