    Is that Swan Pedaloes in that Lake?

    PN will be most impressed ;)

    <between you me and these 4 walls>Keep it quiet but those are pelicans; I don't want a posh alert. "Oooh, afford yer own pelicans can ye???".</between you me and these 4 walls>

    Yup, swan pedalos, definitely pedalos in the shape of swans. Nothing non-pedalo-y to see here.

    Are you deciding to stay in AUS long term?

    It's a bit of a long commute to London.

    Yes. I definitely plan to remain here until the kids start uni. After that we'll see but I couldn't see me going back to the UK for more than a year or so. Europe yes, Northern Europe no. The winter is horrible.

    My last expenses claim was for closer to $100 than to $10,000 so I think it's safe to say I'm not a pollie.

    Anywayhoo, I think I'd have noticed by now if I'd stood for election.

    We have wheelie bins round here for garden waste, and one of our neighbours up the road has shoved a 6 foot christmas tree into theirs, with 3 feet of tree sticking out of the top. I think they are being hopelessly optimistic.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    :rotfl: If it is like our council, if the lid is open more than an inch it will be rejected. Whereas I understand the reluctance to take normal waste that overflows the bin, recycling should be encouraged.
