Hi Anna!

On Sunday November 08 1992, Anna Trahair wrote a message to Ian Howard:

 AT> Hmm...I can't remember too well what happens after that because that
 AT> stuff happened ages ago near the start of the year...

Don't worry I can't remember what was happening more than a few days ago.

 AT> Good! Well I guess if things weren't working out then its a load offf
 AT> your shoulders...scuse the extra 'f' in off hehehehe....

Well I can't agree more.  If your happy then fine but there is no point getting too involved when you are young.  I certainly regret it !!  (God I'm starting to sound like a parent <arggghh>)

 AT> My boyfriend rus a BBS...I just call them!!!! I could run one if I
 AT> pinched my dad's computer and took over the phone line completely
 AT> hehehehe....but I don't think they'd be too happy about that somehow!

WHat is his FidoNet address ??  I'll look him up in the nodelist :-)

 AT> Yeah I just got a new piece about a week or two ago...I tend to play
 AT> often when I'm upset or something but then I just play coz I feel like
 AT> playing...

I usually just sit down without thinking and tinkle around for a bit.

 AT> but I didn't win :-( I'm not really sure why its so special but I'm
 AT> glad we get the day off!!! School sux!! WEll the social is good :-)

80% of school is social.  Its a shame about the 20% work factor though!  Our school has nearly 1500 pupils on the one site, how about yours ??

 AT> better...the weather....the food...the people...but I don't think I'd
 AT> go there on an exchange because I don't think they do them there and
 AT> also I'm not sure how good the schooling is...

If you can find a partner its easy enough to set-up an exchange.  Some of my friends are in Germany on an exchange at the mo although most of them are not really enjoying it.  One of my mates got a serious electric shock and spent a night in hospital !

 AT> I'm not sure but once you've finished with them, if they do a good job
 AT> then send them over here...there's a few people we could get rid of!!!

May I enquire who ??

 AT>> Hmnmm...what can we talk about???

Life, the universe and everything!  The answer is 42!  Have you ever read any Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchet books BTW ?

 AT> after school and he learns juggling and all kinds of stuff to do with

You don't sound too enthusiastic :-)  I just picked up a couple of balls (Excuse the expression) and started off my own bat.  It was hard to begin with but it was also a challenge - I think I'll continue to do it though.

 AT> Well we used to have Guy Falkes and stuff over here but they've banned
 AT> all the fireworks and stuff and  they can only be used by certain
 AT> people and stuff...

What a shame :-(  We can do out and buy big boxes of them if we like.  There are organised displays of course but I prefer to go to a little bonfire with a few friends - Its much more cozy -)

 AT> the Chinese New Year which is celebrated a lot in the city (Melbourne)
 AT> they have a big dragon thing and they set off these things that make a
 AT> lot of noise and there's heaps of yummy food and stuff...

Sounds OK.  The food sounds the best bit.  What sort of foods do you like ? Have you ever tried Cantonese nosh ?

 AT> mainly telling you Melbourne festivals.. We have the Melbourne
 AT> International Festival where they have lots of performances from all
 AT> kinds of places around the world...

We have just had rememberance Sunday over here to remember the people who died or fought in World War II.  Its a bit sad really although I was off playing soccer at the time of the church service - We did have a minutes silence at the beginning of the game though.

 IH>> Smile for me when you read this message!
 AT> :-) Smile!!!

Thats better  :-)

 AT> Like the Big Steal or Young Einstein or Strictly Ballroom 9that's just
 AT> come out over here though)...You'd probably have seen Crocodile Dundee
 AT> and The Man From Snowy River....

I have seen Crocodile Dundee so many times it is getting to be annoying!  I have not seen any of the others though apart from Young Einstein which was brilliant.  The bit when he rescues the kittens from the pie is really funny as is the part when he is washing the plates while having a bath!  Have you seen any of these films: Either of the Naked Gun films, Young Shelock Holmes, King Ralph, Look Who's Talking or She's out of Control.  If so what do you think of them ?

\  |  /
-  .  -  Bang!  There goes another fire-work.  Could you here that one over
/  |  \  there ?

What else do you want to natter about then ??
