(yeah I know.....if that is the case then they shouldn't have said they'd do it blahblahblah...)..... and he is right about the flies on your food .....but it is a nice sunny hot friendly place

I have it on good authority that Santa loves Australia. He can't wait to go there again very soon with the rest of the band.

I have on good authority (John LLoyd former British #1 tennis player and banged Chris Evert when she was hot) that Australia is pretty rad.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

i just got back from doing a tour there myself - australia rules! - its like california and england in one...nature is about to take over and theres a pub on every corner --- besides the kids there know how to have fun and the laneway fest is very big there... woulda been a good bunch of shows for em - music nerds and regular folks alike. black lips, daniel johnston, eddy current etc were on the bill. i saw a few fountain posters there but no interviews in the street press... isnt this the second plane mac has missed? shame too as gordy has relatives down there.

If that's the main thing it has going for it, no wonder they need a pub on every fucking corner.

So it's a combination of california and england where you're hanging upside down like a bat (but in sweltering heat) and there are wild, baby-eating dogs. Oh, and Wabbit says the people are friendly (always a bad sign). If I ever consider going there I'll probably miss the flight.

For fuck sake if your gonna talk about it at least get your facts straight
