Wolf Creek disturbed me.

Great film, but I'm not glad I watched it...

Hey you lovely Aussies! Been a long time between drinks but I'm still around...from time to time...floating. Life is quiet ethereal. *mwah*.

good to see another living soul other than just 2 or 3 of us lately...even though you are 'floating'..maybe that makes you a dead soul.. i dunno...

So Ella, you still with your fella? Been a while now... do I hear wedding bells?

'Dead Souls' by Gogol. Great book.

The cricket is on, thats why aussies are busy elsewhere.....wouldnt be the fact that i stuffed the computer up royally some time ago

I moved back to the US

Obviously didn't get the permanant residency you were after...

Nah, I did. Was PR for a year. Then decided I was bored and wanted a change.

I imagine I'll move back to Australia in a few years if all works as it should.

Yes mate...I moved in with him last November and all is wonderful. And no wedding bells for me...I'm presently finalising my divorce and will not be re-marrying. Ever.

Latch - you just needed a reminder of why you came here in the first place ;)

So you used us Latch and then pissed off back home!!!

Basically.. I'll ring you tomorrow.. I swear.

So do you still have PR rights? Can you come back whenever for as long as you want?

An old friend I used to work with now owns a helicopter charter and flight training company
so I signed up for helicopter flying lessons (at mates rates, of course).
Hope I don't do a 'Shirley' Strachan.

whats the price difference between normal rates and 'mates rates' for these lessons..

ive always wanted to learn to fly..unfortunately i have a middle eastern name and have a certain religious affiliation... id rather not go through the headache just for a little bit of fun...

Better cross buying pool acid off your "To Do List" along with a number of other activities...

Good to see you still around.

These are your ordinary rates for aircraft plus instruction.
I built his offices for him for nothing to help him get started, so he owes me.

thanks kostya....

funny you say that.. it was only a few weeks ago that i bought a drum of hydrochloric acid from bunnings on my company account to do some acid washing for a pool and concrete foothpath.... you dont think i did a double take????

if something even as innocent as this gets me doing a double take..and i have nothing to hide... i dont even quite fit the bill of what a middle eastern muslim looks like, yet i was still hesitant...its these sort of issues that really pisses me off to no end and hinders arab/muslim involvement and assimilation into the australian backdrop.

what is the price of freedom on civil liberties in australian and worldwide if people like me cant freely buy pool acid or learn to fly.....

On another topic... god Jen Hawkins is hot on DWTS :kleenex:

Whoa, double post.

Er... as you were.

And where does she get off calling herself fat? Purh-lease!!!

still refuse to watch the damn show..but i saw a snippet of it when simone warne was on when i was flicking through..she didnt look like she was missing much self confidence. what a crappy excuse for a tv show...put some over the hill tv stars dancing and people are supposed to watch? ive got better things to do with my time than waste it watching people who cant dance...try and do just that.

Hey, Latch, what was the real reason behind your return to Seppoland?
Was it an angry Dad with a shotgun suggesting a wedding?

Dlishsguy - Of course you can learn to fly. The spooks are checking me out, the same as they do with everybody.
A mate of mine was in the Pommy army but because he has an Irish surname,
he wasn't posted to Northern Ireland - just in case he was an undercover psycho.
He wasn't complaining about missing out, but the stigma that was attached to his name annoyed him.
The moral of the story? Fucked if I know. Just don't let the cunts get you down, that's all. Fuck 'em.

Boy doesn't 'Aeon Flux' really suck arse. Charlize... you have a good scone, but you don't have the rig to hold up a shit movie.

I was planning to see that movie, Meri, as I loved the cartoon, but I reckon I may wait until it comes out on DVD. Shame, really....

1) Yaaaaaaaaaaaayyy! I'm going to Adelaide tomorrow. - Wednesday April 12.
The Australian National Handgun Championships are on over Easter, and I'm shooting in them.

2) I'm joining the Army Reserves and I have a medical coming up soon. I'm turning into a gym junkie so I can kill it (ha ha - Kill it - Is that funny?).

adelaide is a beautiful city. no traffic and nice people with lush green trees and grass everywhere...theyw ere my fond memories of adelaide. hope u have fun and...'kill 'em ' over there!

i was in melb last weekend for the grand prix... a whirlwind visit but was well worth it considering i flew in on saturday morning and was back i sydney sunday evening. did a lot in those two days..and night.. ill definately be back there for next years race! prolly try the indies later this year

*looks around*

hmmm...

i think someone needs to go get some more wood for this campfire.

it's pretty dead.

you're up Dlish!
:thumbsup:

I could've got some wood too - huge tree outside my house fell down on Saturday - council have cleaned it up now...

Jesus, where did u pull this from? I thought all the old threads were dead in the water...

you've just gotta know how to search...

I did go to the Handgun Nationals and came 106th. It doesn't sound all that good, but at least I'm a better shot than most people in Australia. (I say this to myself so that I feel better).
I made it in to the Reserves, too. (Combat Engineers).

congrats Stick.

106 is better than 107!!!

Hey I remember this thread!

it's one of the fiirst Aussie threads isn't it???

My brother pulled the bodies of two friends from one of these, after crashing during a muster in the Pilbara, a few years back. Not pretty....


He flew fixed wing. (Low fly endorsed) His last plane was a Cessna 182.
(3rd plane after a 172, and a 140) Crashed the first 2.
Mind you.. the 140 was a flying brick....

We had some crap times around our camp fire.... over the years...

Just fulfilling my mission to revive as many threads from the long gone and sadly missed Aussie forum. Damn, I loved this thread!
