I'ld wish someone's scanner was tired. All the images from today were photographed. The originals being what they are it just isn't possible to open them wide enough applying pressure. They would simply fall apart.

No worries mate. Always a pleasure to be at your service. biggrin

Well, back on topic.
I'm sorry to hear 'bout your dad. It's not easy to lose a parent I suppose. As for the drugs; been there, done that, bought the shirt... wink

My 'medication' was a holiday, paid for by the state cry

.
Japan sounds like a nice place, am planning to go there by the end of next year. But playing a funny instrument leaves you Europe as a destination as well (that way you could check out some beautifull medieval stuff.. biggrin

)
For the rest, I'm 39 and still starting. As a cat I'ld probably be on my 4th life. The first I was a good son, doing economy; the second I had a bunch of fun travelling and working in hotels all over Europe; the third one, well forget about it; and now I'm working in a bookshop in Milan, thinking to actually settle down.

ha ha, and yikes. What was it over? (for me the issue is pot)

As for Dad, it was completely without warning (he was 60), and me and him had a LOT of unresolved business. I'd been preparing my speech for years

I have done a lot of traveling within Australia, as well as six weeks of touring (that was the high point of my life thus far). I caught koalas for 6 months (best job ever), and made TV commercials for a while (I made 7). Teaching is my plan B and music is, and shall ever remain, my plan A.

My issue was cocain. Got me hooked rather badly, but the medicine worked wonders biggrin

.
I've got 10 years more than you and I still didn't hold my speech with my old man. Starting to wonder if I'll ever do it.

Catching Koalas? What for? Sounds like a slightly weird idea, but surely fascinating. And commercials? Are you such a cute boy or did they use you for 'before/after the beauty treatment' ads (for the before part obviously wink

)? Teaching isn't made for me (could teach English and Italian) and as much as I love music, I don't understand 5hit about it cry

yeah, I'm addicted to the soft stuff.

Glad you made it though it all...

Do. it. (let the chips fall where they may)

On kangaroo island in South Australia, koalas were introduced in the late 1920's as they were feared they may become extinct on the mainland. For various reasons they thrive there and are essentially in plague proportions. The media 5hitstorm that flared up when the word cull was mentioned resulted in a bunch of young Aussies (I was 17 at the time, 1997), commencing an ultimately pointless de-sexing program. Our job was to locate them, climb the trees and capture them, take them to the vet for *ahem*, and then release them back to the same tree. (Germany was the most vocal from memory).

It was pointless because of the manpower and cost involved. It was interesting, aside from the obvious, because of a chance to see behind the scenes of the media a bit. It was a relatively small story and yet the lies told were vast.

I am a cute boy as it happens, well at least that's what mum tells me.

I was actually in one of the ads but no, for the most part, I just made them. I will post an example at some point, should be good for a laugh.
