IH><Sniff> - So sad!  We are just getting to that bit now.  Do tell
IH>me more about how it progresses from there.  BTW I beleive
IH>Neighbours has finished now down under ?  Could you tell me what
IH>happens at the end it that so I can astound my friends at school
IH>! :-)

Hmm...I can't remember too well what happens after that because that stuff happened ages ago near the start of the year...Neighbours is still on over here although I haven't watched it for ages...I've only ever watched a few times since I don't really like it that much...At the moment there's something to do with a Michael Jackson concert happening but I only know that from the ads...

IH>Well to be quite honest I am fine now and having the time of my
IH>life !

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

IH>Over here there are a couple of local bulletin boards that are
IH>run by couples and you never know, perhaps you might do that
IH>someday eh ?  I run my own FidoNet system and one at school and
IH>although it is hard work it is great fun - you should think
IH>about doing it!

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

IH>I am trying to expand my collection but I find it hard to
IH>discipline myself to sit down and play.  At the moment I just
IH>play when the mood takes me.  I like playing blues music on the
IH>piano and have just got a new piece that I really like.

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

IH>Sounds great!  Out of interest which particular horse race is it
IH>and why is it so special ?  I am now back at school <groan> but
IH>as I said before it's bearable and the social side makes up for
IH>the piles of work we seem to get.

Well its called the Melbourne Cup...we have a whole week of horse racing and stuff but we only get one day off...I bet on a horse in it but I didn't win :-( I'm not really sure why its so special but I'm glad we get the day off!!! School sux!! WEll the social is good :-)


IH>Where exactly ?  Europe is a big place.  From the areas I've
IH>seen I think that I like the Loire region of France the best -
IH>full of chateaus and vin yards (Is that really how you spell it
IH>??!), and the scenery down the river Loire is beautiful.

I'm not sure...I still have to think about that :-) Well I went overseas last year and I really liked it...everything seemed better...the weather....the food...the people...but I don't think I'd go there on an exchange because I don't think they do them there and also I'm not sure how good the schooling is...

 AT> Yeah I think you and us should ditch the Royals...

IH>Right then.  How much does an good assasin cost these days :-)

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

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

IH>Well just out of interest I have started juggle-ing this week.
IH>Its great fun and, suprisingly, I find it very relaxing.

Hmmm...a guy in my class goes to some circus school a few days a week after school and he learns juggling and all kinds of stuff to do with the circus...

 AT> Do you celebrate Halloween at all over there?

IH>Yep, its just gone.  There has been a load of trouble about
IH>so-called `Trick or Treating' this year with loads of people
IH>complaining that it is wrong - do you have trick or treat in
IH>your country ?  Also it will be bonfire night soon where we
IH>celebrate how Guy Falkes was defeated in his plan to blow up
IH>parliament many years ago.  We have big fires and fireworks
IH>displays and eat traditional foods for this festival. What sort
IH>of festivals do you have in Oz ?

Well we used to have Guy Falkes and stuff over here but they've banned all the fireworks and stuff and  they can only be used by certain people and stuff...for a while there was still some floating around and my friend used to get a lot given to her and we'd set them off...We have trick or treating but a lot of people say it's just an american tradition...Well over here we have moomba where they have a big parade with all these floats and they all kinds of stuff...we have the Chinese New Year which is cele






brated a lot in the city (Melbourne) they have a big dragon thing and they set off these things that make a lot of noise and there's heaps of yummy food and stuff...actually i'm mainly telling you Melbourne festivals...
We have the Melbourne International Festival where they have lots of performances from all kinds of places around the world...and they have all food from all over the place...that's just a few I can think of

 AT> That's all I can think of since I'm braindead right now!

IH>Well I'm sure by the time this gets back to you that you will
IH>have thought of many more things to chat about !

IH>Smile for me when you read this message!
IH>-- Ian.

:-) Smile!!! Well hmmm...do you get any Australian films over there??
Like the Big Steal or Young Einstein or Strictly Ballroom 9that's just come out over here though)...You'd probably have seen Crocodile Dundee and The Man From Snowy River....

Cya!
