UNDIES IN OCTOBER

Had a quick look around
And found the whole place quite bucolic.

Gave the 'Endeavour' a scrub
Then set up a pub
And that's why we're all alcoholic.

After Cook, the convicts came here

Learned to farm and how to brew beer

We settled here, we’re called the Undies,

We got smashed on Coke and Bundies





Dunno why we banned the second verse from our national anthem...

It's right up there with "our home is girt by sea"


When gallant Cook from Albion sailed.
To trace wide oceans o'er.
True British courage bore him on.
Til he landed on our shore
Then here he raised Old England's flag.
The standard of the brave.
With all her faults we love her still.
Britannia rules the wave
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia Fair.

I need some technical help. A listener emailed Emma Ayres this morning with a link to an 1890 recording of the bugler playing the same bugle he played at the charge of the Light Brigade. Emma said she'd put it up on ABC classic facebook, but I can't find it. Any facebook afficiandos out there?
Thought I'd put it on here as I seem to be on a bit of a history roll at the moment.

Techie, techie, Techie,
I am one of those who needs very close supervision when near a computer.


Also, I know why no Undies are on here at the moment... they've all been listening to Margaret Throsby interview James Liaw. Which, if any of you missed you can catch up later today or tomorrow by going to abc classic fm.

OK. Met the bloke. Gets some ticks before he even starts -

1. Phoned first to ask if it was ok to drop around now rather than the appointed time - tick
2. Shook hands - tick
3. Good age - guessing somewhere nearing 50, fit-looking wiry little bugger, battered hands - tick
4. Didn't roll his eyes when I told him what I wanted done - tick
6. Quoted $25ph for chainsaw work - tick

So - I shall update on Tuesday when he says he'll be here at 9am - unless it's raining.

Hiya Crimsons!!! We throb our international visitors.

Speaking of crimson, Undies, if you've got the space and conditions are right, you might consider a Forest Pansy (Cercis canadensis)


tree. Incredible colour right now.

Gorgeous!

Lets just say I used to READ under the covers - and leave it at that...

Nah cant do it - seriously they have set up skype and are talking to friends on that and Facebook until the early hours then whinging when I jump on their beds in the morning....I figure its payback for what they used to do to me when I was pissed or hungover...lalala so much fun to be a mum....you listening Sunny? You have to get past the warm and fuzzies and REMEMBER stuff to get them for later in life...

AFternoon Happs. Glad I'm not a mutha.
I'd ban computers in the bedroom. Full . No discussion , no whining, no threats, no pouted lips.


$25 an hour is a good rate Tawn. You may have a good one there... six tix is a great score. Se4nd him up here when you've finished with him.

You have to be a detective Rags, they have tablets for school and sneak them into their rooms when they think your not looking....not allowed in their bedrooms with them...

Just make sure he's got insurance and a 'green card', now a 'white card' in this state ie: licence
Then send him up....
