Australians vs the Dutch. Who has the better hair?

Potential Husband/s (tick)

Just planning ahead....

You say potato I say potato?? The old Chips/Crisps debate.

Charles Ingram was guilty as charged! An appeal would be a waste of money, half the country has watched the programme and the majority have agreed with the jury.

Stop the Pigeon!

The Brits never seem to have any luck while travelling in Australia as yet another "accident" is reported.

I will be an Auntie in 3.5 weeks. I will also be kicking back on a beach in Spain around that time.....

Watched the cheating episode of UK's Who Wants to be a Millionaire - A Major Fraud last night. One of the programme's sponsors was a cough medicine company....

The Androids are travelling to the England! Currently unable to find out if they are playing any live shows....

Evel Knievel : The Rock Opera. Are they serious??!!

I hate having continually to write letters to get money that belongs to ME, I hate Inland Revenue, I hate Pension Schemes, I hate Banks and I HATE being put on hold.... surely all this stress is a good excuse for a couple of G&Ts this evening!!

My sweet Saffa-Nick just called me all the way from Johannesburg....I miss our Saturday afternoons of playing Crash Team Racing. "Oblagah!"

Hoo's the Toon gannin?

I know a few people sometimes have trouble understanding some of the sayings I use so here is a guide! (swiped from AGB.) Just found a site to help with Geordie sayings. At least now my house mate and I will be able to have a conversation...
Flights to Amsterdam this weekend £10. Doh! Wish now I had not have purchased my ticket to London, so tempted to go away this weekend....

Will be heading down to London early May, thinking about seeing Michael Richards ("he's a loathsome offensive brute, yet I can't look away") in Arsenic and Old Lace.

For the Easter weekend it looks like it will be decent weather. 26 degrees celsius was described by my work colleague as "scorching"......

Oh no, please no, anything but that.......

Watching the news this morning on television, there was a doubt whether moderate exercise lowers your chances of heart disease. In light of this, my house mate suggested I stop my routine of fruit for breakfast and walking to & from work, and instead eat a fry-up and catch a cab every morning....
And yet in other studies, they claim; Watching football 'cuts heart deaths'. Oh please....

Eddie McGuire hosting the 2003 Logie Awards. Georgie Parker nominated for about every possible award. All we need now is Lisa McCune to make a tv come back (have no idea what she is starring in nowadays?!), perhaps an up-beat number from Rhonda Burchmore, an international guest who has no idea whats going on, the latest soap-actress turned pop-star promoting their latest song, an AFL footballer thrown in somewhere, Darryl Somers/Bert Newton receiving a lifetime acheivement award, and there we have Australian television rolled into one programme.....

Reminder: Be nice to your house mates....

A friend is attempting to convince me to go out for G&Ts tonight and is holding my new laptop ransom.....I am determined not to fall for his evil ploy, but I really want my computer....

AMSTERDAM 2003 PHOTOS!

So much easier to have the photos put onto CD for a few pounds extra rather than scanning them!

Where is an elephant when you need one?

Have made the decision not to go to the 2003 Leeds Music Festival this year. Would like to see Metallica, Blur and The Datsuns, but cannot justify the £100.00 ticket...

While watching television last night, my house mate made the comment about an 18 year old actress's aged appearance, "She's had a hard paper round".....

Tony Hawk interview. I miss Playstation...

Hopefully no one will read this before they receive their postcard from Amsterdam but.... we wrote the postcards in Dutch by copying random sentences from a local newspaper. I think people have a right to know about Sunday trading hours & cheap medical insurance in Holland......

Gill and Simon have just purchased a MGF (soft top). Perhaps Gillian and I can be Thelma & Louise when we go to Dublin!

Another miracle coma recovery.

AMSTERDAM

POEM BY THE "HILARIOUS" SACO
Rozen Verwelken
Scheper vergaan
Maer drinke wef Leesa
bljft altijd bestaan..... (gee, thanks, I think.....)
Dank voar je bebonblokjes! (your welcome!)

Went to the a few bars around the Red Light District both Friday and Saturday nights. Ventured to the Van Gogh Museum on the Sunday. A lot of walking, but unfortunately no much-needed clothes shopping.

Other highlights included; "The only way is up", Asking of the time in Dutch, Taking money from strippers, throw a shrimp on the barbie. It was a tiring, but brilliant weekend!!

Tried a few new drinks over the weekend (Note to self: Duvel is a very strong beer, be aware...) , but they weren't serving Duck's Nut Amber Ale. Only in Australia!

Russell Crowe is getting married. Doh! Another one to cross off my list....

What does it mean when I dream (have a nightmare?) that I am a staff member in E4's reality TV programme, The Salon?

What? You got to go there? You don't say...For you Mezza...I know!....

You are right Marlas, this is the Dullest Blog in the World!! And I thought mine was bad....

Although I have taken steps in order to resolve the "problem", there doesn't seem to be any chance of a positive outcome at this point in time. Guess there is only so much I can do....(Update - solution seems imminent. If only the ending of the war was this easy.)

David Beckham vs Justin Timberlake? Surely that isn't a competition. Very few people (males included) would kick Mr Beckham out of bed. Not many men could pull off his recent look... but for some reason, he just seems to get better and better!

Another interview with Tim Henwood from the Androids. Apparently the bands song "Do it with Madonna" is being played here in the UK on radio. I'm sure the Rooster would be impressed (DM's ridiculous rooster noise in between songs made me laugh! And she got away with it for years!!).

Australian health authority have warned Australians not to travel to a number of countries including Canada due to SARS.

I vote for bringing back the cast that was going to perform in the 2001 production of HAIR Australia. I would be back so fast to see Jon Stevens perform.....

Leave for Amsterdam tomorrow afternoon. Really looking forward to getting away for a few days. Need a break....

I've put my foot in it. I caused an unnecessery problem. I have just under seven weeks to resolve it. Damn PMT, damn you!
