Well at least I can be taught, 100% on the third try....
Mate, ya know we and tha commitee luv ya, but tha invitation was to the long lost better half. We don`t like to see one of ours falseley smitten and not allowed home. Get onto Google and remind her of her past inheritance so she can brush up on our history (that`s been brainwashed out of her no doubt!) she could try here
http://www.bellingenvalleylodge.com.au/ . or under www. cute koalas: or www. worlds best waterfalls: or wwwtrue bluemen.au:
You`ll be disqualified if ya give her tha answers. But if she gets 100%. Her application will be accepted and it will be entireley up to her if she wants you to hang on to her skirt tails.\
Go for it lass, we`d love to have ya back.  :good2:

Nice pics Megsy. Any on tha bitumen? Would love that trail rider leather jacket. It`d be good on the DR. Noticed he likes a bit of Ambulance colours too.
Was he an Aussie? or was he from across the Ditch?

Sorry no wombat wiz in my house, getting low on Vegemite though. Damn expensive here. For a short time it was banned, we were climbing the walls and other withdrawal symptoms. Something about a naturally occurring ingredient and it being listed on the label making it look like it was added to the product. Got the labeling sorted out and the price shot up. You can only find it in small jars as well. oh ps, I have heard Advance Australia, I prefer Waltzing Matilda, more character and fun to sing.....  
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

11 out of 25, not even 50%  :cray:, I will let my Aussie wife take a crack at it. See how she does after 40+ years away from the homeland.
:yahoo: Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!    C`mon Lass, you can do this, oi, oi, OI !!! - Ya allowed more than one go ya know...  :drinks:

Strewth and crikey. 40 years away from home... I think its time you shipped her home for a wiff of the gum trees and a prawn or two on the barbie. A ale or two in the shade of a coolabah and a swag under the crystal chandelier.

Stone the crows mate get your finger out and get on a plane...................

Yeah, get your arse over here and pick up some real Vegemite. The stuff we export is only half strength rubbish they sweep up off the floor! Same goes with the beer, only the crap gets exported.   Pete.

I agree with the beer, that's why I started brewing my own years ago  :drinks:. Hard to keep up when you can't swing a cat now days and not hit a micro-brew joint so I have not brewed in years. I would rather ride on my weekends.

I will challenge you on the Vegemite, earlier this year Baldy (Our eternal gratitude to him for gracing our humble home, not a single piece of silver was missing, we counted...) brought my wife some goodies from Aussie land including a proper size jar of the best toast topper in the world.  It tasted as good as the stuff they sell here. Besides, my wife would have called foul years ago about the lack of proper kick. That said, I think it would still taste better on toast made down under.... Especially just before a rally ride....

Monkey, you have to keep up that thought - you CAN do it, you CAN get on that plane, you CAN buy 2 tickets!

See you here.....around the 9th March!

make it happen

Bugger me!!! I am beginning to think there are only three of you pretending to be a gaggle of FJ owners. I challenged "oldktmdude" and Springy accepts like it was him.... So now I need to figure out what Klavdy's AKA's are as well as Baldy's. I met them both but not at the same time so I am still suspicious of that simple fact.... The General, could be either one..... Maybe only two of you are making us think you have more than two FJ's over there..... And Marsh and Bean are in on it as they have reported being there.... Even more suspicious...  :ireful:
