    What is with all these Tuvaluans? I didnt know they had the internet there.

    OR is it just a dig at the latest GB member, the Aussie Geoff Jackson who was a special pioneer on Tuvalu?

    Piggy Muldoon, one of New Zealand's greatest economists, once said that every New Zealander who migrates to Australia increases the average intelligence of both countries. The two Kiwis who remained at home really should set up a bank or something, and stop poncing around on your magnificent snowfields and eating all the crays.

    Line from New Zealand national anthem...

    'God blessed New Zealand he gave us boiling mud...'

    At one time a few years ago, I knew a gal from Australia (Adelaide, South Australia).

    I loved her accent. Very cool.

    I also got a lesson in the differences in the Australian dialect (or at least her local dialect), and ours up here. There are a few terms that I picked up. Once one knows the 'meanings', it all makes sense, really.

    I also learned what Vegemite was. Like it, too. Was able to eat it with my toast - although I discovered that I was spreading it on too thick. *grin*

    Regards,

    Jim TX
