Wait a minute! _I'M_ happy to reminisce about life in the "colonies." Well, New South Wales anyway. But I guess you're right, they'll throw us outa 'da joint if we make them read much more of _this_. Unless, of course, we come up with reeeeaaally interesting yarns . . . y'know? Koalas riding kangaroos to escape the spinifex fires set by the aborigines in the Gibson desert - and diving into the Great Australian Bight with flames licking at their tails? Tell you what, let's wait for the applause (if any) before we continue much more of this in public!
