19:06:00 * Glenn is a country lad from Traralgon, about 160 kilometres out in the countryside east of Melbourne, Australia, where you can't see the air that you're breathing!
19:06:00 <Glenn> ...and there's snow on the nearby mountains!
19:06:00 <nickmelb1> near warragul Glenn?
19:07:00 <nickmelb1> Gippy is usually cold this time of year
19:07:00 <Glenn> Yeah... about 30 minutes further on from Warragul

19:10:00 <nickmelb1> huuuge
19:10:00 <Glenn> They're so big now that they're no longer worried about them being flooded. There's simply not enough water anyway... and even if a lot of water was to get in, it would evapourate away long before it ever became a problem.
19:11:00 * LacyGirl ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: )

19:16:00 <nickmelb1> hey Rose_Petals how's your day been?
19:17:00 <wombi> you got a business in China?
19:17:00 <Glenn> No.... I worked there for a coule of years. Visited the place a number of times as a tourist, and also studied there.
19:18:00 <wombi> the only countries Id go to now are Canada Fiji and maybe NZ again the rest is trash'

19:33:00 <Glenn> hi brislady51!
19:34:00 * Glenn looks carefully at brislady51 nick and tries to work out the age, gender and location...

19:37:00 <nickmelb1> or it is fish...
19:37:00 <nickmelb1> ?
19:37:00 <wombi> General Cosgrove was in my battalion at my time but different company and I never met him
19:37:00 * Kezzie-afk ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: down in brisbane and its cold here burrrrrrr)

19:38:00 <wombi> Lt
19:39:00 <wombi> Glenn she;s a she
19:39:00 <Glenn> It's the build up of rotting vegetables on the floors... always wet and slippery 'cos they try to hose it out every day, but that does little 'cept to continue the rotting process. Then there the chicken department... there's a definite perment smell of live chickens being slaughtered, boiled to pluck, then de-gizzarded...
19:40:00 <^Graeme> some ppl here are eating tea Glenn :)
19:40:00 <Glenn> Who's a she...

19:43:00 <Glenn> Vietnam, China or anywhere in that region at least HAS a history... we don't 'cept for the last couple of hundred years. Delve any further than that and try to publish, and you'll very quickly be branded a racist!
