...well let me regale you with the gory details...of my year in oz!

August 11, 2004

neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours...

OMG...you will never in a million years guess who i saw on the plane...no really you won't. oh, ok, i'll tell you. if, like me, you watched neighbours way back before madge died, you'll know who paul is (a clue is; tad's best friend). so anyway, i was on the plane, sitting with someone from the isle of man, talking and noticed that this particular person happened to look rather familiar. not being entirely sure why, i asked roz (the manx girl) if i was going mad, but did she think he looked familiar. we had to go past him to get to the loo, so we both had a good look on the way. and yes it was him! this was pretty amazing i felt. i mean, i haven't even landed in australia, and yet i've already spotted a neighbours star! ok so he's ex-neighbours, but it still counts don't you think? i have to say though, he is FIT AS! he looks absolutely AMAZING now, much better than he did before. PHWOAR you might say. so that's one thing i can cross off the list of things to do and see. in fact here is what i have already achieved:

1. (ex-) neighbours star
2. possum - pretty cute, but friggin noisy little animals
3. eaten kangaroo - in curry it is REALLY nice
4. heard (not yet seen, or if i have i couldn't tell you what it looks like) a kookaburra - man they're noisy
5. done a scooner of port

that's it as far as i can remember...as soon as i actually see a kangaroo i'll tell you, but orange isn't exactly roo capital.

right, that'll do for now.
