Go on SIA! You can do it! Only a pesky 105!
So... A few more questions:
How many boots on your collection?
How many Stones shows did you attend last tour?
How much do you think the next tour tickets will be?
I'm running out of questions. Wait! I know!!!

it's ok - but it's not my favourite footballl code
egon - to answer your query - i'm well into australian rules football - a great game - 'tho the authorities are starting to take a lot of the "physicality" out of it - if you ever get the chance check out a good quality game - nothing like it in all of sport - i also enjoy american football and rugby union
cheers |

it's not as bad as it used to be!!
you've heard the story that there are two ports in the world where ships wouldn't take on drinking water one was somewhere in the middle east - the other, adelaide
as we are at the tail end of the murray river the water from there isn't great - just about everybody drinks bottled/spring water |

haven't counted and the number isn't huge - i'd say 20or so
How many Stones shows did you attend last tour?
two - enmore and the telstra arena
How much do you think the next tour tickets will be?
dpends on the seatin - but in australian dollars i'd guess primo arena seats would be at least $350.00
I'm running out of questions. Wait! I know!!!

I just got on this thread very funny everyone!
Ok, SIA, have you received the Lucinda Williams boot I sent you courtesy of TMR?
If so, have you listened to it yet?
And, what do you think of her music?
Oh, how do you rate the quality of the TMR recording?
And, finally do you drink decaf or regular?

hey Martha - yes I received the CD thanks - actually i mentioned that on SS's "blues weed" thread but you may have missed it - i also noted that Lucinda Williams has had to cancell her tour down here (and some stateside gigs too i understand) - due to the death of her father (or was it mother?) - thanks to too TMR
yes i've listened to it and i enjoyed it very much - the quality of the recording is at least "good" if not "excellent" - as far as her music i definitely like the sound and music - some of the lyrics are a bit "confessional" for my taste but the melodies are good as is the sound of her voice
i'm pretty much a tea drinker but when i do get a coffee i go for regular
thanks again
caro - monkey woman re the spinning leaf - well, yes in the northern hemisphere i would expect it to spin the other way or simply be up-side down (or even both!!)lol

Hello from Canada and I'm wondering:
As an Australian, do you ever feel any affinity with Canadians because of our shared historical (dis)connection with Britain or do you view Canada in the somewhat more American view of: Canada? Who cares?

hey Mr.Jimmy - personally i guess i probably lean towards the latter view - mostly because you don't field a Test Cricket team and you (Canada) compete in the World Series baseball -
but we are fellow members of the Commonwealth so there is of course some affinity there no doubt -
at least Canada had the gumption to become a Republic which is something we are still a long way from doing - the Queen of England is still the Queen of Australia for many reasons - mostly apathy - our "system" actually works quite well even if it somewhat anachronistic
being a big fan of "South Park" i think that the Canadian sense of humour is more akin to that of Australians and the British (NB all my US friends please excuse broad generalisations)
also since WWII Australia has become increasingly "American" (ie USA) in it's general culture - this is not meant to be a negative view of the US however it is simply an unavoidable consequence of history - all nations of the world are to some degree influenced by the USA (even if they attempt to resist it)
going off track a bit but in relation to other threads here recently re the influence of the US across the world - obviously the US's is the dominant (only)empire today - Rome once ruled the world as they controlled the roads - then Britain had the largest empire as they controled the seas - the US is now dominant as it had control of and supremacy in the air (and space)as well as control of most of the world's money (thank General Electric) - like all empires the US's will decline and fall one day...who will succeed?? - well i think it will be the controllers of cyber-space - governments as we know them will be the puppets of the media and finance worlds ( you can see the signs already)not to mention the ubiquitous manufacturers of armaments
anyway, i'm getting off topic a bit
as to who cares - well if i was a canadian in australia i'd be pretty pissed if everyone assumed that i was from the US, which does happen here - same as if anyone suggested i was from New Zealand (God Forbid!!)
again this is not meant to be an anti-US rant but the dominance of the US culture across the world at large has an homogenizing effect that is not necessarily always a good thing
and let's not forget the chinese - they just seem to sit there - billions of them - god help us all if they decided that it was their turn to dictate terms on a world wide basis - they got the numbers, they may even have the guns but it seems,for now, they lack the motivation
anyway this is going all over the place now - an interesting question 'tho - thanks
btw/ what do you think?? |

Hello again and thanks for your insightful reply. With a nod to the difficulty of generalisations, and a desire to keep it light, yes I do feel a slight connection (despite our lack of cricket) with the many Australians that I've had the pleasure of meeting, both here and abroad, and I loosely attribute it to being spin-offs from Britain. And because you mentioned it, I think it comes down to a similarity in attitude which is often illustrated through humour, as opposed to humor, further proof that spelling really does count.
I've yet to travel to your country but I have travelled extensively through the USA and Britain, and I've been fortunate enough to develop friendships along the way. When travelling through Britain and the USA, I seem to experience a strange paradox: On the surface, one could easily argue that I have more in common with Americans yet I feel a closer connection with Brits when I'm actually talking with them. For me, I find that my British friends readily accept, and even enjoy, when I disagree with them where as my American friends have a much better time when we see eye to eye on any particular matter. Nothing wrong with that. Friends is Friends. Sometimes I just sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits. |

On to the next question :
Since when has Canada been a republic?

oh sirmooonie, piggy was a class act - a law unto himself -while i was never fond of many of his policy positions and his attitude towards his office - prime minister as "benevolent" dictator - i did admire his style in one respect - much like our former PM Gough Whitlam - i liked his no holds barred - full speed ahead and damn the torpedos - crash or crash through approach - whatever you may have thought about him or his politics he was never dull...controversy was always just a press conference away
