That made me laugh too. It is 1.30am I have been out drinking with my baseball team. The thought of chocie milk with mash uuuuuuh not good with all the champagne I drank. Mandy yuck.

Mmm, yes I enjoyed "The Social Network", found the story line interesting, and agree that Justin Timberlake was good as Shaun Parker. I've wondered how much of it is factual. So although I found it interesting, I still dont see it as an award winning film.

Now "Animal Kingdom", havent seen it yet but really keen to.

lolol...Ahhhh, thankyou for the laugh :D I needed that.

Hmm..you know...in Japan...They've a chip covered in chocolate :3 I liked it >_>;;

Not so sure about mash with chocolate milk though..lol

I lurv Nurse Mandy! Failing eyesight especially stinks for readers like us. ((hugs))

Both 'Social Network' & 'Animal Kingdom' are wonderful films, and both have terrific endings. Though I like the ending of that latter more :)

Hope you remember where you put those jubes Laura. Are they the sugar coated ones? I'm a sucker for a jube.

Ugh, Ive got a french oral task tomorrow, with the most horrifying teacher in the world :O

Merci beaucoup Mandy :)

How could I forget? It's World Poetry Day today the 21st March. Here's a little poem by a famous Australian poet, Les Murray:

Performance

I starred that night, I shone:
I was footwork and firework in one,

a rocket that wriggled up and shot
darkness with a parasol of brilliants
and a peewee descant on a flung bit;
I was busters of glitter-bombs expanding
to mantle and aurora from a crown,
I was fouéttes, falls of blazing paint,
para-flares spot-welding cloudy heaven,
loose gold off fierce toeholds of white,
a finale red-tongued as a haka leap:
that too was a butt of all right!

As usual after any triumph, I was
of course, inconsolable.

hahaha :D
Awful mental image right there :S

Anyway, Im incredibly tired. Ive got some stuff written down, I'll read it in bed (SACRIFICING A NIGHTS WORTH OF READING FOR FRENCH WORK!!! YUCK)
Goodnight :)

Try adding a mime sequence? You know, like Marcel Marceau -he was French.

Maggie wrote: "How about spearmint leaves? Or those raspberry lollies?"

Yum, especially the spearmint leaves. They are an old old favourite. I haven't had them in years.

Maggie wrote: "Gail «Cyborg» wrote: "..... I'm a sucker for a jube."

I used to love those spearmint leaves...Gosh, can you even buy them anymore?

@Gail- They weren't sugar coated..thought it was bad enough I was buying them in the first place. It was a packet of Allens favorites mix..something like that.

Brenda, Im racing on Monday, so get to miss a day of school (and french lesson!) to have one race that will be less than thirty seconds :D
A few of my friends are also going, so it should be a good day.
Unfortunately, I miss out on double drama as well, which is my favorite lesson ever.
Im going to do some more bragging here, i got a 9/10 for my drama performance, and 7/8 for the journal we have to write after.
Anyway, im should do homework now :)

So what's up with calling Cyborg 'nasty' Spice? Or isn't 'nasty' as strong a word in Australia?

Nasty is like calling someone mean but probably a little bit worse than mean.

Found this awesome site with strange facts about australia.
http://www.convictcreations.com/cultu...

did you know that...Emus and kangaroos cannot walk backwards, and are on the Australian coat of arms for that reason.
My favourite on that site is
Dropbears - Dropbears are an evil species of koala that fall from trees and attack humans. The evil strain of koala don't actually exist. The story was created to fool Americans.

:O drop bears totally exist!

totally..one attacked me today while i was escaping the rain by standing under a gum nut tree.

ah but did you ever stop to think that they are telling us that they don't exsist when they really do.

a bit like the Panther that roams country victoria(i'm not sure if it's been seen else where).

I have seen it. twice. but as i was younger, i'm putting it down to my vivid imagination (i did have 2 imaginary friends after all!).
But there is even photo evidence of this the panther that is (not my imaginary friends... we had a falling out and i burned the photos) and they (scientist, government etc.) still tell us it doesn't exsist!

Whaaatt!! More info Laura...:)

Adele, there have been stories of that panther on TV, and I have wondered whether there was any truth to them...
