They Walk Amongst Us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

True Story
Listening to a late night radio show whilst driving home the other night.
Johnno, the radio DJ, has a quiz which involves answering five questions, for a $1,000 prize.
The gist is, he posts a question, you call in, if you answer it correctly that counts as your first question and provides the opportunity to answer four more and win the prize.
The first question posed was associated with some audio of a golfer saying how his father had showed him how to grip the club and the basic swing and he had taught himself everything else. After about 6 unsuccessful guesses, ranging from Tiger Woods (which it definitely wasn't) to Annika Sorenstan (it was definitely a male voice!!) the DJ gave a huge clue, this person won a major golf title recently. Bingo, Bruce calls in and correctly answered, Bubba Watson.
So Bruce's second question was.
'They are a major dance orientated UK band, who have sold over 100 million records, they are the most succesful male duo in UK recoding history, the dance band members are Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, what is the name of their dance band? Little Clue Brucie, its The something something something.'
Brucie is v v quite ' Blimey, struth, fair dinkum Johnno, thats a tuff one'.
Johnno, 'Ahh look come on Bruce, they are a major major dance band, you'll kick yourself if you don't get this one'
Brucie 'Mmmmm, don't know that many dance bands Johnno, karn't ya give us a kluw?'
Johnno, ' Shouldn't really Brucie, already given ya one, but if I don't I'm gonna be here all night with this one. Just think, dance band, dance, dance, come on Brucie., Neil Tennant, Chris Lowe, its easy, dance band, dance band.'
Brucie ' You BEWDIE Johnno, I got it, Torvill & Dean'
I nearly crashed the car!!!
Be careful out there THEY WALK AMONGST US.

Close Encounters with the Ugly Kind

Normal rules prevailed the othere morning, up earlyish, nice cuppa char whilst I had a quick check on overnight emails. Then cycled Niamh to school.
When I got back went to finish off my tea and found this rather large specimen splashing about in it!!!!!! He was about 2" x 1/2".
Backstroke!

Still back stroke!

Front (creepy) crawl
I know its a funny angle and the lights bad but can anyone tell if its John, Paul, George or Ringo?

Paul & Shan


'Our Kid' was here recently, we had just the best time.
We plied them with bbq's and filled them full of the best in Australian meat, fish, fruit and veg, oh and err yeah, the odd glass of the falling down juice. No toooo heavy though.
Didn't manage to play any golf, just no time really, or inclination for that matter, although would have loved to have taken them to Lake Karrinyup G&CC, hey ho, perhaps next time!!
Don't laugh, he's very proud of it!!!! The water was very very hot you know!!

'Just chilling'

Heading for lunch at The Lucky Shag. Its a pub on the foreshore!!!

The boys after lunch (He even slept in that hat!)
Introduced them to some of the locals

Yeah its only a tree, but a pretty spectacular one

Missing you both, come back reall real soon.
