Thanks Slotts!! -- i guess it is understandable about the flag preferential treatment for kiwis. thanks for the input.
Ozrt4406!! -- behave yourself and play nice with Hemi Ken!!!, or you will not get to attend the Lamb Roast Party!
Hemi Ken!!-- you know what you are doing! I have faith in you.
Melbourne is not that cold in the summer BTW. You will be fine!!
Moparal!!---If you have a chance sometime you and your wife to take a trip down under to the land of OZ and relax for a couple weeks if you can. It sounds like you deserve it after your episode at work this week.
Glad to hear you were OK. I hope you can make it to OZ sometime and if you do the menu will consist of:
--A lovely and beautifully cooked Lamb Roast with rosemary and mint jell or mint sauce on the side. It will be accompanied with roasted potatoes, roasted onion, sweet peas and/or garden veggies what ever is your favorite, & pumpkin/squash (depending on what country you are in -- pumpkin in Australia is the same as squash in Canada & the USA). But the best is yet to come -- an authentic Australian dessert and my absolute favorite - Pavlova for dessert!!! Pavlova is t :picture:he best Australian invention ever -- my mum use to make it for her Xmas dinner parties and there was one guy that waited all year to be invited to our house and eat it. He said it was just about as good as se*. It will be BYOB - as I do not drink much if any at all. I will not charge a corkage fee though.
I hope you can make it sometime. As Australia is just like Carlisle - everyone has got to visit Australia at least once in their life - Great beaches, Sun and Surf and so much to do and see - and it sounds like you got a few friends down there too!
P.S. I am looking forward to the flags!
But understand that I will have to wait patiently!
