Tyler was loving this last nite.

The jolly fat man made it to our house at about midnite then headed up the East Coast [Hope he found your place OK Aussie?]

>> Ho Ho Ho<<

Hi Bartelby...yep he found me, could not miss with all the Xmas lights in the street I feel I am on the set of National Lampoon Holiday I reckon Santa stays longer on East Coast of OZ 'cause we have the best sun, surf, beaches & parties See what I mean.....

One of cousins rellies made a surprise visit, he is manager/head chef for Shell on an island off coast of Russia. He did all the food...wow what a feast!!! Then the drinks flowed, champagne, frozen margaretias....I got confused thought I was at a big New Years eve party. Aussie is feeling delicate today.

BTW Bartelby what a great santa countdown site am going to tell everyone who have kids about it....might even watch it myself next time

Cheers, hope everyone enjoys/enjoyed the day.

Ahh yes, thats a lovely Santa...HE could fit down my chimney at least

My brother is a chef and he did all the *extras* at our feast....prawns with garlic sauce, duck (blerg!!) and Oysters wrapped in bacon (delish).

Our family game of cricket ended with my near 3 year old throwing the ball in the channel because he wasnt allowed to bowl

I had a few too many Vodka Cruisers and am suffering a little myself today....thankfully the kids are entertained with their new toys and we have a "Hair of the Dog" Party a bit later on

Yeah the after parties are always fun...a couple of sips and you are right back up there

PS I just noticed the kangaroo on the Aussie map looks more like a giant rat

He was a little rat looking....not a very nice roo at all.

Help...... our national symbol has been replaced with the PM

I dont think its eyebrows were bushy enough!!!!

Seriously, I dont know why someone doesnt take to him with a whipper snipper in his sleep?

[edited: coz I had only had 1 cup of coffee and my brain wasnt functioning properly ]

Hey Lexie....what about doing the eyebrows when he is awake and on national TV. I reckon the ratngs would go through the roof

Maybe we could do it for "Shave for a Cure"...imagine the money that could be raised.

When I shared a house with 2 boys (we were all in our very early 20's)...it was a very scary thing to fall asleep (or pass out), you never knew what was going to happen to you.

Know what you mean regarding flatmates...when I shared recently 4 a short time I put a lock on the bedroom door, kept them in or out

Ah yes the money that could be raised re the eyebrows. Shame KP has just passed away I reckon he and Channel 9 would have been up for it....Andrew Denton could be a chance

Denton would definitely be in I think.

Rovey would be for sure....are you a Rove fan?

It was hilarious when he was trying to get Howie to come on his show and got one of the PM's workers to flash the lights that time.

I love Rove I remember Johnny's non appearance, no fun in him at all!!! My fav segments are What The??? and flick your switch...the whole show is really great.

Thought of another person, Will Anderson (comedian) who hosts The Glass House...he would just looove to do it Saw him live earlier this year in Newcastle, he was soooo funny.

As eyebrows already look like large hairy grubs was just thinking, you know when you shave body parts they are supposed to grow back twice as thick, people will think that the leader of OZ is some form of pygmy sized yeti

BTW Lexie did you see Rove impersonating Robbie Williams...even had the tat

Yes!! I loved his RW rip off, that and his Shannan Noll rip off of "Drive", complete with *flavour-saver*.

Funny stuff!

Will Anderson is very dry funny, I love him and Hughesy.

At least we have Johnny's eyebrows to pick on, I would hate to think what we would come up with for Beazley

Beazley....ummmm bad taste in suits, they never fit properly, he needs to sack his tailor

Lexie, here is a link to ebay forums regarding RW & his autographs...hope you have'nt purchased any.

http://forums.ebay.com.au/thread.jspa?threadID=50000386...40&mod=1135760338241

Thanks for the link Aussie.

I never purchase autograph stuff in hopes that its authentic, with or without COA!!

I think Beazley buys off the rack at the opp shops (not that I am knocking opp shopping, personally I love it, but its not great for tailored suits)

Opp shops, Lexie? Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Pray tell! Is that a US thing as well as Oz?

Opp shops = Opportunity Shops? Recycled Clothes.....Trash n Treasure shops? Ummm...does that cover it?

"Opp Shopping" is huge over here, its a great way to get *trendy* clothes without paying an absolute fortune for them.

I have been known to drop a pay packet on a pair of *pre loved* Levi's, at an opp shop I can get the same thing for the price of lunch

Lexie I think they are more popular than clothing shops. We have one here in particular that only deals in designer clothes...pre-loved, seconds,and new. On any given day it is jammed packed with people.
