song from The Water Rats

[netibiza]

Did Kylie Minogue ever sing any songs from the Australian Police series "The Water Rats" and if so, what are they?

bestest stuff IMO is Liz Earle...makes even my old boot skin look good...yes I remember the story of the swans of Coole and their sister and the poor youngest brother whose shirt only had one sleeve so he went through life with a swans wing. Lots of butterflies like to lay their eggs in nettles so i keep a few patches in the garden.
Was up at 02.30 this am as dear doggie had an upset tum again. Now they are adult (nearly) one can digest anything (and does) and the other only has to think about certain foods to get upset tum and always in the wee smalls...trouble is that they are foods he likes so either way i am the big bad boss who made his tum ill or wouldn't share my food...there is no justice

yahoo, jno jnr has completed purchase of a flat today and is there even now moving in tools to rip most of it out and refurbish. Decades of paying parenthood may finally be moving to a close. He's watched all the telly progs and knows exactly what he wants to do and how to do it (much of it on his own) and how much it will cost. The one surprise is likely to be that it takes three times longer to do it than he plans; so I suspect he will be living at home a little while yet.

That's lovely for him Jno and I wish him all the best Thing is though they never actually leave home in reality......most of their junk is forever left festering in the loft .
I've still got transformers , boxfuls of old comics ;what is probably a complete set of Classic Car magazine and loads of sticker albums amongst other things that are not to be thrown away at my peril :0)

<damn hippie, if he's gonna crack ^^ bright ideas why can't he do it before i throw my household appliances away - rummaging through the city dump on a hot august afternoon is no breeze, i can tell you that>

Been to town to get a couple of collapsible whatever-they're-called and my feet are absolutely killing me even though I didn't walk far and didn't carry anything (that's what taxi drivers are for innit:) � I don't know how I could hope to keep up in Singapore, I'd be a millstone round everyone's neck, if it's not my feet i t's I've got to find the loo � I'm like a puppy only without the charm ha ha. Maybe I should just go to Londing instead and get lotsandlots of Burt's Bees. Thanks Shaney . Nobody tried any of their products?

Jude you're in the AnswerBank newsletter! Or, rather, St. Jude is. "Patron of lost causes and the difficult and desperate", poor guy, I hope he don't work Sundays or his day off ;-)

Such pretty four-leaf clovers Robinia, I've been wondering if there aren't any about anymore, used to find a lot in the past. They are kind of magical, I've always thought so. If you win a lot of money you can take us all to London and we'll do a Biddy Road picture, ha ha ha, that would be so funny. (I'll be the walrus.) forty years ago today

anyone who can sing this is still sober: partly swedes

St Jude is an old friend of mine. I had this picture over my desk at work.

I used to do community occupational therapy for adults with multiple illnesses and or disabilities and there were days when my customers really needed him. That and the Occupational Therapists' prayer got me out of some tight spots on many occasions. The prayer?
simple just three words "God, help, NOW!!!"

jno, I offer the prayer for jno jnr.'s use...my experience of home refurbishment is that he will need it on more than one occasion!. There's also my mantra when things go really wrong to be chanted until calm is restored "It'll be lovely when its finished"
Can you tell I am feeling cheerier today...had good news on the legal front yesterday, hoping to be finished by end next week.

[woofgang]

PS Shaney, pit the transformers and comics on Ebay and go on a cruise with the proceeds ;-)

[Robinia]

morning...oh that's lucky (again) woofy 'cos I'm a lost cause, desperate & in need of therapy...another semi-sleepless night with a headache. It's a bit better now, manageable I'd say, but it's the most depressing thing to cope with, it makes me despair sometimes. Sorry for being a mizmog, just needed a grumble.

I have just had a laugh though... I was sitting on the patio & I heard a clatter from my neighbour's kitchen, followed by something loud but unclear. I think it was 'oh, s0d it'...hahaha...now at 80+ you've certainly earned the right. I'll always remember the first time I overheard him swear. His wife told him the dog had run off & he said "oh 'as he? I'll b0llock 'im when I ger 'ode of 'im"....hahaha, he's lovely, a real Derbyshire lad and he adored his dog, he wouldn't have b'd him at all.

Good luck to jno jnr in his new home...lock up all of your kitchen gadgets...they seem get 'borrowed' rather a lot.

[Robinia]

oh btw jno if jnr needs some practise with flat pack furniture, send him round....

[swedeheart]

Flatpacks - been to IKEA have we... on behalf of my country I'll assume responsibility for your headache then, Robinia ;-) xxx

G'day biddies. Tossed and turned all night, been feeling so oddly� reversed� ;-)

I looked at all the sets Woofy - "somebody" makes the cards themselves don't they... really lovely. (I assumed we were expected to, as I know it's possible to issue a guest pass for one single set but that restriction had not been made here.) Yeah another good prayer is grant me patience - NOW.

So here are some more piccies from last week's day trip to the island of Grinda. Marvellous weather all day, don't know why you can't tell from all the pictures but this one will give you an idea

on the rocks where we sat down for a while waiting for the inn to open (but it's not us on the photo or on any of these photos, it's just random people)

This is the inn, where we had lunch on the verandah (note the withered maypole)

The view from the verandah including some examples of typical viking hair, ha ha�
