Hi Caroline, Beverley,

You possibly wouldn't realise that I have a weakness for good bush poetry.

Probably one of the best days I've spent was at Glenreagh in the hinterland of Coffs Harbour, NSW, watching a series of bush poets on the table top of a large truck used as a stage. It was purely by chance, as Judith was doing her thing at a Craftarama, and I was exploring. (Glenreagh was an old gold mining area).

Damn the exploring, I paid my money, sat down amongst strangers, drank a few beers, and we all had a great time laughing our heads off. I had to be paged by the 'boss' - (bluddy mobile phones), to come and pick her (Judith) up from the Craftarama.

Cheers

Jeff

Nice CGI interlaced with overhead views on many famous American landmarks worth a look for a different perspective

Two Irishmen walk into a pet shop in Dingle.

They head to the bird section and Gerry says to Paddy :'Dat's dem.'

The owner comes over and asks if he can help.

'Yeah, we'll take four of dem dere little budgies in dat cage op dere,' says Gerry. 'Put dem in a peeper bag.'

The owner does and the two guys pay for the birds and leave the shop.

They get into Gerry's van to drive to the top of the Connor Pass.

Gerry looks down at the 1000' foot drop and says: 'Dis looks loike a grand place, eh?'

He takes two birds out of the bag, puts them on his shoulders and jumps off the cliff.

Paddy watches as Gerry falls all the way to the bottom, killing himself stone dead.

Looking down at the remains of his best pal, Paddy shakes his head and says: 'Forget dat. Dis budgie jumping is too  dangerous for me!'

Moment's later, Seamus arrives at Connor Pass.

He too has been to the pet shop and walks up carrying the familiar 'peeper bag'.

He pulls a parrot out of the bag and Paddy notices that, in his other hand, Seamus is carrying a shotgun.

'Hi, Paddy. Watch dis,' Seamus says.

He takes a parrot from the bag and throws himself over the edge of the cliff.

Paddy watches as half way down, Seamus shoots the parrot.

Seamus continues to plummet down and down until he hits the bottom and breaks every bone in his body.

Paddy shakes his head and says: 'An' oim never troyin' dat parrotshooting noider.'

Paddy is just getting over the shock of losing two friends when Sean appears.

He too has been to the pet shop and he walks up carrying the familiar 'peeper bag'.

Instead of a parrot he pulls a chicken out of the bag and launches himself off the cliff with the usual result.

Once more Paddy shakes his head.

'Forget dat, lads. First dere was Gerry with his budgie jumping, den Seamus parrotshooting and now Sean and his flipp'n hengliding!'

Ian .. I guess it would take a lot of pigeons and a lot of time to deliver and then collate a whole telephone book!!

Just a passing thought! Much laughter from under down under.

Gaye and her partner Bron go to the fair every year, and every year Bron would say

"Gaye, I'd like to ride in that helicopter"

Gaye always replied, "I know Bron but that helicopter ride is 50 bucks, and 50 bucks is 50 bucks!"

One year Gaye and Bron went to the fair and Bron said,

"Gaye I'm nearly 70 years old. If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance".

To this Gaye replied "Bron, that helicopter ride is 50 bucks and 50 bucks is 50 bucks".

The pilot overheard the couple and said "Folks I'll make you a deal. I'll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and don't say a word I won't charge you a penny! But if you say one word its fifty dollars".

Gaye and Bron agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of fancy manouvers but not a word was heard. He did his dare-devil tricks over and over again but still not a word...

When they landed the pilot turned to Gaye and said,

"By golly. I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you did not, I am impressed!"

Gaye replied "Well, to tell you the truth I almost said something when Bron fell out, BUT you know

FIFTY BUCKS IS FIFTY BUCKS~~"

I must admit that I have not watched it yet but I will have a look at it on your recommendation Denise.

Denise Scanlan said:

Do you watch Mrs Browns Boys Caroline? It is about an Irish family, where Mammy is the matriach, but meddles in all her grown up kids lives and everyone elses too. Mrs Brown is actually Brendan O'Carrol, but it is a laugh a minute I can tell you. The only problem some people may have is understanding the accent and they do talk fast. I say that because I had people who couldn't understand my ex, but I never thought he had much of an accent. I've been with a friend at the movies and he couldn't understand the Irish accent so I translated.

Apparently it is being shown on Sunday nights from this week.

I have just realised why the viewing time has been changed Bev.    Ch 7  have put it in competition with the ABC's new show "The Midwives"  rotten things.  We only have a DVD player, not a recorder Grrrr.
