Welcome to Oz :-) >karl Fair go Karl! He's hardly had time to point Percy at the porcelain and you come the raw prawn. Don't take any notice mate - he's just some western bogan with a bad case of sand in the underdungers. Of course, if you ever shoot through and swing south of the Emerald City, looking for substance rather than style, I could suggest a couple of nice cribs but if you're staying up there then all you'll need is an old 'blad and talent for big-noting yourself. In the meantime - * Keep well out of the woodwork - it's full of termites and borer. * Don't argue with the Sydney wallopers. * Stay clear of the Cross. Unless.... * Not all the sharks are in the wet stuff. * Get a hat. AndrewF (Melbourne) NB. You may want to stay with the computer - at least their geeks speak a common language :)
