I've been doing that classic thing lately, talking about where I'm from - more than normal (what is normal I hear you say - well yes indeed!) I've decided it must be the change of seasons, whenever it turns cold in sunny Englan I find myself fixated by the fact it's coming into my favourite time of the year in my native NZ - Summer - You see summer at Christmas, and for the welcome of a New Year is just the most wonderful experience - stunning. Ahhh. The fact of the matter is I'm from New Zealand and when it turns to concrete coloured skies in London I find myself being darn proud of it!
The other interesting thing is that I'm getting alot of web traffic from people coming by to have a look what I've got to say ... come on I know I've got a lot to say but I'm intrigued - where do you come from???
School friends, old work collegues, ex boyfriends ... the mind boggles ...
So what characterises where I come from:
The way I speak and those funny colloquial things I say ... here you go a few treats!
'Life is no dress rehersal you know'
'Oh don't sweat the small stuff'
'If you love something set if free, if it comes back it's your's if it doesn't hunt it down and kill it!'
'Boys no matter what age - are still only just boys'
'You go girlfriend'
'Is it beer o'clock?'
Trace love the web site keep up the good work; just need to get a spell checker. I have heard Microsoft have a good one:).
I have a couple of saying's for ya. 'Not my dad's mine' (when you do as much as you can for your employer but at the end of the day it is not your own business).
'Take a drink from the hard creek' (when things are not quite running to plan).
Well better run it is beer o'clock on a Friday night. Off to the Tap Room (Oxford Strip in good old Ch-Ch) to enjoy and ale in the sweltering 24 degree NW heat.
Regards

I was speaking to someone from Australia who went Christmas shopping on Oxford Street with her daughter and was so excited as they had not realised why in all the films New York or London it was always night time. The concept of it turning dark at 5pm in our winter time was completely foreign to those from Australia.
Scalpers - we call these ticket touts.
