We actually bought a gift voucher for Rozalin but she is unable to use so - so we are indulging ourselves. I am pleased to say that we will never be members of Viennese - and will always be Auslanders.<br /><br />I have noted that some of my finest contributions in the past have gone unremarked. The important thing is that I amuse myself.Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11283813317560446754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-83937495041940836942010-05-11T13:21:14.464-04:002010-05-11T13:21:14.464-04:00Badger: Might you be a bogan snob, momentarily &qu...Badger: Might you be a bogan snob, momentarily "abroad" ?

I've noticed recently that, while you receive regular and ample reactions from female well-wishers, a lot of horrendous things give rise to no reactions… as if they were to be forgotten or ignored. For example, there was a recent reference to Aussie "tunes" from a vulgar compatriot who embarrasses me, but whose work merits evaluation. In flitting from one theme to another, and leaving unanswered questions behind you, I find that you hardly allow us the time to appreciate your prose.William Skyvingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052367756561555096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-31063757170498548822010-05-11T11:35:10.871-04:002010-05-11T11:35:10.871-04:00For years, as a French TV addict, I've been im...For years, as a French TV addict, I've been impressed by the stultifying panorama of dumb-faced Viennese bourgeoisie imposed upon us each New Year for the Strauss concert, probably broadcast to nomadic tribes in Africa who have to whip a grandson on a bicycle contraption to generate enough electricity to be able to listen to the strains of the Blue Danube Waltz. Please confirm, Badger: You, a humble Aussie, are destined to attain Women's Weekly celebrity by becoming one of them (the Viennese crowd, not the African peasants)… Big fucking deal, mate!William Skyvingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052367756561555096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-18673931975890862392010-05-11T07:08:43.790-04:002010-05-11T07:08:43.790-04:00I'm sure you and the missus will turn a few he...I'm sure you and the missus will turn a few heads at this fancy pants pub, there will probably be a few people whispering 'It's Badger!" in hushed tones.
