    The only place I have heard that song is in my car. It should be an Aussie classic but isn't.

    Acca Dacca could provide more Australian tunes but Aussies are snobbish about them.

    perhaps because they're Aussie like Aussie Joe Bugner?

    I hope that Malcolm Young is on the road to recovery. Sad news on Acca Dacca this week.

    Acca Dacca rule. Desperate to see them live 1 more time. Doubt it'll happen though.

    Joking apart, Crowded House were quite good I thought.
    Crowded House are New Zealanders. My mate is/was their tour manager. Have met them all (except Neil Finn). Crowded House are superb!
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    I'm still in shock. My friend in Wales came up this weekend. As it was a planned visit, I suggested we go to the football match. First game he's been to for a couple of years.

    Well, we certainly picked the right one to go to! 10 goals, 5 of which came in the last 10 minutes!

    Unbelievable scenes, Jeff.

    Michaels, please get a second opinion from a more understanding doctor. It's not OK for you to have such debilitating symptoms every year. :(

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    I know because it's a bit of a joke that Aussies claim successful Kiwis as their own. It's a bit like that Scottish/British thing with Andy Murray.

    I thought the point of rough clothes was that stuff could happen and it wouldn't matter....
