About the only phrase I can remember of my two years of 
French is:

	Voulez-vous couchez avec moi?        :-)

Which is:  Would you like to go to bed with me?

Guess you can tell where my brain is at most of the 
time.   *snicker*

Hello out there,
	I just barely got onto VAX News, and I'm wondering if there's a
newsgroup for suicide/suicidal tendencies.  To this end, I'm surprised
there's no group along the lines of:

	alt.romance.unrequited.slit.your.wrists.

	The closest thing I found was alt.destroy.the.earth, but the
people there don't have the same reason for Fire and Brimstone as I do.
Life sucks.

Unfortunately they usually don't present the _English_ movies in the local
cinemas here. So I can't find anything special in Clare's signature (That's
not your fault, Clare :-) ). What was the movie about then? And what
meaning does that citation have?

I know we've established that this is a line from an ABBA song, but isn't it
also in Blondie's "Call Me"?

Hmmmmm,  looks like I need to be careful who I'm singing that in

Sorry folks, my memory of califoria was so vague (hey it was ten years
ago) that I couldn't fit where the bay area was either.  But I should
have connected "bay area" with San Francisco.  I immediately thought of
LA too - silly, huh?

I don't think there would be much point.  The thing you have to realise
is that the Bay Area has most of the US High Tech companies sitting in
it.  Even if that were true of brisbane and the high tech companies of
oz it *still* wouldn't be worth it.  Anyway for some reason most IT
seems to be headquartered in Melbourne (yech!).

Another thing to remember - how many million people are there in the
greater SF area?

There's less than 3 million in the entire state of Queensland.  Most of
the population is in the South East, but it still cuts your chances.
The main problem is that in Oz the internet really only exists in
universities.  Companies (even IT companies) haven't really got into it.

>You'd be surprised how many folks you may find who are
>lurkers!

I haven't been yet :-(  Which makes me think of another problem.  A lot
of the people in Oz who *do* have net.access are students who often get
read-only priveleges.  So even if they wanted to unlurk they can't.
Also some sysops (probably by management direction) remove a lot of
"irrelevant" groups like ARC.  Not in the spirit of the internet I know,
but it happens.

BTW this is not a flame, just an explanation of the situation people
like Tony and myself find ourselves in...

Point taken.  However I think there's some places here in Queensland
where I can still see sugarcane fires.  Much cheaper than Indonesia.  I
don't know that I was saying it was particularly romantic - only that 30
foot flames reflected on the mirror of the water at night was pretty
spectacular.
