    Too much Fosters?

    Turks and Caicos. You know...those random islands sitting off in the north Caribbean. I know the guys that were trying to make a pistol team. I don't think they made it -- they don't show up on the official website.

    Weird...I thought bar work was a rite of passage for Aussies in the UK...plenty of Irish bars here, most workers are Irish...getting into trouble pretty regularly too : )

    Oh please mate...don't go there...bloody Jimmy. Barnes (means yobbo in French apparently)...he's Scottish anyways.. God luv the Scottish, where would Aussie music be without them? Barney's, Swanee....umm...men at work...ACDC...John Paul Young even! ...I think the old VB add should be our anthem... 'You can get it working a plow...you can get it catching a cow....matter of fact, I've got it now...it's a Vic, Victoria Bitter...'
