EXCELLENT!
I forwarded it to a close friend of ours who moved to the U.S. from England(?) GB(?) British Isles(?) in his 20's.
Damn, still can't get it straight.....better watch it again

Helpful explanation. Simple, yet not so simple. I learned its better to ask if someone is from the UK rather than ask if they are from England. _________________ 93 K1100LT

Wow, I always wondered how that worked, now I still don't know! I'd have to watch that a few more times to understand it all.
Interesting arrangement they've got over there. _________________ Steve

I tend to say I live the United Kingdom (UK) or England. Great Britain was a long time ago.  _________________ 1980 CB900FA

Very gracious for an Aussie considering it's taken us over 20 years to win away from home. We beat the Welsh away tonight so happy days.
Hope your weather eases off soon. _________________ 1980 CB900FA

So....the land of OZ is feeling/looking better?
You folks have taken a huge beating in the last few months.
Hope all are well and not/only slightly affected.

That's true and there is more to come
But Folks really come out their shell when the going gets tough
Before the story is over, it may get tough for all of us, worldwide
So may as well enjoy the Good when it is right in front of you.
All the very best and thanks muchly for the K11OG. |

I'm, wondering what things in the region of the Murray River are going to be like when the remainder of the flood water from up north/east hits the system and finds its way down here to South Oz; I figure we may be in for a big flush of the lower Murray system. Guess we'll know in a month or three. _________________ David, owner of:
