No soup for you! >:-| Hey, I just watched "The Einsten Factor" on ABC - I think I'll nominate as a contestant for the next series, with a special subject of "The Kawasaki GPX250 motorcycle". My backup special subject will be "The design, construction and maintenance of the Hoover Electra-Economiser dual spin front-loading washing machine". BTH
There's a town in Tasmania which could adopt you as its mascot, BTH. It's Spreyton. (up near Deviot).
Spreyton is nowhere near Deviot Cheers (Literal week is still on the go) ((Kevvie used to be a member of the Deviot Yacht Club)) (((It's pronounced devvyut, not deeviate))) Kevin Gleeson Imagine It West Hobart Tasmania Australia www.imagine-it.com.au
Me too; "Geelong is near Melbourne"... "Victor Harbour is near Adelaide"... "Gatton is near Brisbane".. Clem (I wouldn't wanna' walk it though!)
Nup - everything is relative. Tassie is "near" Australia. In a state that is 300km from one side to the other, 1/3 of that distance is not "near" another. Ballarat is near Bendigo relative to the size of Australia. Deviot under damn near anything I can think of is not near Spreyton. If it is, then everything in Tas is near everything else in Tasmania. Bloody silly to describe it like that. Like saying that Engadine is near Hornsby. In the reference frame you are using it is silly. Cheers (Yeah - literal week) Kevin Gleeson Imagine It West Hobart Tasmania Australia www.imagine-it.com.au
Jeez - a throwaway remark linking "Spreyton" and "Deviot" to BTH has become an interstate point of disagreement and (perhaps) acrimony. Excellent. And Kev says Hammo is silly. Excellenter. (Must click the bit that makes the spectacles light up and turns the print red).
**** - Coney said "red"! You prick! It's fucking pink Ok? Jeezuz Kevin Gleeson Imagine It West Hobart Tasmania Australia www.imagine-it.com.au
Nah, you have lived in Tassie TOO long! Its only silly if its not YOUR point of view. Hammo Who went to a certain poster's birthday that was nearby. Only 1900 km or so worth of travelling for the weekend. That was close-by, as in do-able. Yes, Global village and all that....
Yep - don't have a problem travelling long distance, never have. I just think you have to describe "close to" in the context of where you are. Otherwise Paris is near Perth ... On a small island like this, 1/3 of the length of the island is not "close to". YMMV but you don't live here. Cheers Kevin Gleeson Imagine It West Hobart Tasmania Australia www.imagine-it.com.au
Yes, and that is what it is all about. YOU NEED TO GET OUT MORE! Sorry, did I wake you? Hammo Pitch it in a way that doesn't make you sound like a cardigan wearing SAAB driver and I'll come to the party..... PS John Maxwell Jillettt
It's taken some of the heat off me, so I'm happy. (Call me a deviot will you, you...you...you old coot!) BTH
