I got nothing.

But throughout the last year I got a bw80, xr350, motorhome, junky snowmobile, gokart frame, chinese ATV, FOX doodlebug minibike, a few old free tractors, my blastard up and running, an Erivet minibike, new job and a couple of handfuls of tools.

So its not all gloom and doom here.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I've always wondered about that. Everybody in our hemisphere gets sweaters and long underwear for Christmas, which is funny because they are supposed to hold you over until next Christmas. I always wondered if Australians always get new bathing suits for Christmas.

Just wait till you run out of Reeses pieces. You'll be bulk ordering them from the states in no time

It seems so weird that such common edibles in the US dont exist in Europe.

What part of the US was he in?

I'm eating them as we speak. Good job it is a 10.5 oz bag
He was in Ohio IIRC, however he travelled a bit (NY an other places). He was on a work placement.

Edit: soo **** expensive! Like drugs I guess...

odd how most of our songs are still the old english ones

aussie song
Dashing through the bush, in a rusty Holden Ute,
Kicking up the dust, esky in the boot,
Kelpie by my side, singing Christmas songs,
It's Summer time and I am in my singlet, shorts and thongs

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summers day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.

Engine's getting hot; we dodge the kangaroos,
The swaggie climbs aboard, he is welcome too.
All the family's there, sitting by the pool,
Christmas Day the Aussie way, by the barbecue.

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summers day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.

Come the afternoon, Grandpa has a doze,
The kids and Uncle Bruce, are swimming in their clothes.
The time comes 'round to go, we take the family snap,
Pack the car and all shoot through, before the washing up.

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summers day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.


most of the clothing we recieve is summer wear and beach toys are common
