Beaches, BBQs, The Opera House and Harbour Bridge, The Barrier Reef (While it's still there) kangaroos, Uluru, impossibly gorgeous young people in swimsuits and AFL players in tight shorts. THat's fine too. THats why people are soo shocked when they come here and find out that there is a lot more to it than that. I should post an album of some less well known things.

Re: Do you ever
[QUOTE=Dextrous63;2128390]I think pauline's style of creating a thread is beginning to rub off on me (no offence pauline), but...Do you ever deliberately avoid threads to give others a chance to converse without yourself butting in?
Not really as I don’t see it as butting in,
....we all see things differently though don’t we.I hang out mainly in general, you don’t often see me anywhere else on the forum....apart from.
Gardening.
Health.
Home and diy.
Cooking that’s all...
Politics forget that, ain’t in the least bit interested.

I actually wrote the question first and then recognised how it seemed to emulate your style, and added the first line afterwards.
My style is all over the place..
Here there and everywhere...
I need to slow down ,I had palpitations last night...
To be honest I’m so glad you pointed it out, I never took it personally......
I can get too full on...recognised it through your post, so all is good Dex,

I went back in 1988 (the Bicentenary year) and stayed until 2002. Lived in various suburbs of Sydney. I had a sign-writing biz for ten years. Got married, bought a house and had a daughter.
What a wonderful place Australia is, and such lovely people.
I hope you contribute more, keezoy. Perhaps you could compare some of the issues being discussed here with corresponding issues in Aussie. Good on yer, mate!
