Does no-one here know about the Guy Fawkes thing? It's bonfire night here today - did no-one see V for Vendetta? That's who the mask is on my pic - Art's brother created it in 3D & posted it on his forums - here's the full thing..........



I'll find a Wiki explanation, it'll be a million times clearer than anything I write! ;D ;D ;D

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes

[cfbj01]

Thanks for the info Dawn. I had heard the name but never knew where it came from.
I've even seen V is for Vendetta.
Have fun!!

[dawn]

Glad someone knows what I'm on about CFBJ01! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[henry]

Hey Dawn! Being a Easterenders fan for the past 15 years, I knew all about Guy Fawkes Day. Did you have fun?

[dawn]

It was great - I stayed in & watched everyone else's fireworks! ;D ;D ;D Why spend my money when I can watch there's?

Hope everyone's well - are there any aussies on the aussie thread these days?

Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I've been so busy working My kids have finally learned how to cook!! Yeehah!!!!

I know all about the Guy Fawkws thingo too Dawn!

And

I watch Eastenders too Henry ;D ;D ;D Pathetic I know.

The closest we have have is the bonfire night on the Queens birthday weekend in July, which is also the official opening of our limited snow season here in Aus. When we were kids we used to take weeks to build a bonfire in preparation, then we'd spend our hard earned pocket money on fireworks, then finally on bonfire night we'd let loose. I think too many kids let loose shooting each other with 10 shooters so they banned fire works for sale to the public...the end of an era.

Catch up in a few days girls, I've got a few days to myself maybe I'll finally be able to have a few

I thought Australia had a regular winter. Every now and then they show skiing or something or other in your winter there and I assumed it was like ours - dragged out for about 5 months! See, I learn something new every day on the .org!

Easterenders! and to you Dawn! Never questions ones addictions and obsessions around here! ;D ;D ;D ;D I started watching waaaaaaaay back when hubby and I went to Londond for our honeymoon. OMG that was 22 years ago. now, that's a loooooooooong addiction. I never watched American soaps that long.

Hi Sunflower - I'll have to stop by your page. Sadly, I don't have a whole lot of time on the coputer these days and when I do I stop in two places first then if I have time I go into MySpace. I'll make sure I do.

[dawn]

Hiya Henry - You're just trying to get that smilie everywhere aren't you ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I had my obsession with Eastenders, then I realised that I was more depressed after watching it than I was normally - so that was it - I quit! ;D ;D ;D

Hope you all have a fab weekend & hopefully I'll catch you guys next week to all.

[dawn]

Hey girls - Just thought I'd drop in & say hi. I was wondering if anyone had heard from Helen lately? I was getting worried as she's not been on here for a while.

Hope you're all good & I'll catch you soon.

[jet]

Hiya Girls! Long time no chat. It seems like everytime I plan to have an hour to myself and hang here at the org something else pops up that needs doing. May have something to do with the fact I've gone and got myself another job (thats three at the last count ) and am doing the home schooling thing with Flatlanda.

It's Movember here in Aus and NZ. Do any of you do the Movember thing? All the guys start the month of November with clean shaven faces and then spend the next 30 days cultivating a mustache. They get themselves sponsers along the way to raise money for mens health charity/research. I know here in Aus it is for Prostate Cancer and Beyond Blue (raises awareness of depression) and Prostate Cancer in NZ as well. Palari is working hard for the Cancer Council at the moment and she asked me to do the LH withs mo's.

So, in honour of Movember (and at Palari's request) I have been playing with photoshop and have come up with this...

The Mohammers



;D ;D Took me ages cause I kept ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D while I was doing it and then I couldn't get Marty to look right with a mustache so he just got a milk mo! ;D ;D ;D it hurts from ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D (I owe you a beer if you can guess whose Mo Bobby has)

Hey Dawn, I was gonna pop in the other night but, well you know. All is quiet this way on the home front. Fingers crossed it stays this peaceful for awhile longer. Mitch wanted to go on a holiday this christmas with his cousins and then spend a week on the Gold Coast (the Gold Coast is kinda like the Aussie version of Waikiki...or maybe Blackpool for you Dawn) with his latest girlie. I told him he'd have to choose cause he can't have it all. His reply, "What if I go racing this weekend and win the money, can I do both?" So the little went and won himself $500!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm glad you found Crackerjack funny. Its one of my faves... Swear Jar Dawn, swear Jar. ;D ;D ;D ;D We charge $1 in our house, needless to say the swear jar is paying for two nights acommodation for the four of us at a nice resort down the coast for Christmas and Boxing Day!


I haven't heard from Helen but I know from Den that she is hanging in there. She needs all our warm thoughts and good vibes her way.

Coooeee Helen Much love your way Matey. Mwah And, I have continued to watch Australian Idol and now its down to the final two. How time flies! So, I just love Matt Corby (hmm...intials MC...) He is not only pretty (settle down girls, he's only 17) but he is an awesome talent. I really think he's someone to watch out for.

Here's my latest fave pics of Marty, they never fail to make me smile.





Den I bet you had a great weekend with your family. I'm planning a picnic by the river this Sunday with Sandra, Andrew, Reggie and my two ratbags. It should be fun, the six of us haven't been on a day out together for sooooooo long. I think Australia Day was the last time. Your probably flat out at work these days. Did you have fun writing your SOP's...I know how much that can be ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D How is your Tim Tam supply holding up? I'm about ready to do my Christmas shopping and O/S posting, let me know if you need a fix.

G'day Iwo, Henry, Star



Talk to soon

eta: I got me a ticket to see PJ Harvey in February 2008 at the Sydney Opera House I love Pj and I love the Opera House!!! I haven't been inside since I was 15 and saw the ballet Swan Lake. I am sooooooooo excited!

[dawn]

Hiya Jet - Bobby does look a little Freddie Mercury in that pic! ;D ;D ;D how did you do that without just cracking up? - I know I did when I saw it - luckily I'm on my own in the lab today.

Sounds like things are Craaaaaaaaaaaaazy with you chick - I don't know how you do it!

Good news about PJ Harvey - I bet you'll have a blast

Couldn't help but laugh about Flatlanda! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D That's one determined kid you've got there - just like his mum right?

Well, I'd best get on - I can't believe it, work have put a load of new filters up for us, I can no longer go on Myspace/youtube/facebook or most of the places I visit, so if I don't suddenly appear for a while - you know they've found out about this place

Anyway I've prattled on for long enough - to everyone & I'll catch up soon

[dlh]

Helloooooooooooooooooo everybody!!!!


Helen, You know I'm thinking of you and sending positive vibes your way. Hang in there.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Mick. This has been such a tough year for you both. Love you matie








jet, you and Palari have done it again.... toooooooooooo funny!




......noice...really noice.....You've chosen some great pics of Marty.....so I take it you have been in Palari's Photobucket again.?

How wonderful you are going to the Sydney Opera House. That is so cool. I can't believe it's been almost a year since Gael, T and I met up with Sozl there for a glass of wine before going inside and to listening to a wonderful choir sing Handel's Messiah. It is so beautiful at night.



Oooooo......you are going Christmas pressy shopping? Fantastic timing! I have 2 packages of Tim Tams left in the freezer. Let's see now. There is a package of individually wrapped Original ones and the last package says
"Value Share Pack"? ....um ....am I supposed to share my last package of Tim Tams?




Gotta go finish painting a bathroom. I have family coming over this weekend for another birthday celebration and a baby shower for my daughter-in-law. Hope I do better than last year when I painted my kitchen and ended up with more paint on me then on the walls. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Big Howdy! to dawn, star, sg, IWO, cfbj01, henry and Trees


Cheers all!
Den
