Melbourne!

Hey I was just wondering, have you guys down there in Melbourne seen the sun yet or is it still as dark, rainy and sh*ty as usual?

was fine when i visited last week.
terrible thunderstorms in Sydney and Canberra though

It's been weird lately. First it's freezing, then huge storms and hail, then 30 degree days then back to freezing now it's back to 30 degrees, this all happened in a period of 2 weeks. And to top things off it's bush fire season again and with what has happened the last few years in Sydney and Canberra it's a little scary.

If you 2 want you can both pick on me. I'm from New Zealand I'll probably be in Melbourne next year though.

I was talking to an Israeli guy earlier in the year and the Iraq topic rolled around. My opinion on it is "Right war wrong reasons" and the diplomacy side of things was handled really badly by the current administration.

Why does America always back Israel though? The Arabs have the oil and its not like Israel has a spotless record on human rights. They got nukes though.....

EDIT: Gah! another new zealander!

Yeah might met an Australian women get an Australian job and play for a NZ expat team. I'm looking forward to it

Getting Australian women, Australian jobs, living the aussie way, sounds bloody typical New Zeland way.

We should stop the spamming...

Probably wont but should.

@ Bobgote.
So how's the boring old flake going? I might pop down the beach and have a nice bit of John Dory in beer batter, might even go to Doyles at Watson bay, to rub it in a bit more.
@Zardnaar.
A Kiwi going to live in melbourne?? Well at least all the bad drivers in Australia are concentrated in one state, (now if we could only get the QLD's to use roundabouts properly. ;P ).

Back ON topic.
Had the war not been waged we would all be sitting here wondering if Saddam does have WoMD and if he is financing more terrorist activites. At least now we know which is worth the effort I reckon because I dont want another Bali Bombing.

Exactly

I agree 100%

We like to call them 'speedbumps' up here.

I think if 'international goodwill' counts for anything, the USA has lost a lot of ground since Sept. 11.
