G'Day to all here

[Professor_J]

Hello Everyone,

I've just moved to Edmonton in Canada, but I did spend 18 fabulous months living in Melbourne up until a year ago. Got addicted to diving and really miss chilling with the sea dragons for hours on end off Flinder's, and I miss my olive and cheese lady from the market.

Anyway, I'm in the process of setting up a 90gal tank for my office, decided it was time for discus. The "discus lady" from the LFS up here said I should visit this site. All I can say is it looks brilliant. Great photos, great advice, and everything.

Already learning how best to totally spoil my new officemates :)

Cheers,

James

Welcome to the forum James.

Good luck with the fish.

You'll find us a friendly bunch of fish enthusiasts. :P

Answer 1 (outside voice):

No, I never really developed a taste for that particular food while I was down in Australia.


Answer 2 (inside voice):

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Don't say that word!!! Black tar-like death in a jar!!! A pox upon you and the next 3 generations of your family for reminding me of its existence!!! :)

People said you were all really friendly down there... I introduced about 50 people to good, home-made pumpkin pie (though the pastry wasn't that great the first time - I think there is something different with your flour :? ). They thought it was great and I was told to bring it to dinners and parties all the time.

What did the bastards feed me in return? whatever-mite... They insisted that there's a difference between all the various versions of evil black goo... and silly me, I tried them all.

I figure it's like choosing between being eaten by a white pointer, bronze whaler, or a tiger shark... doesn't make much difference to me, they're all pretty unpleasant experiences.

Oh, and the tank is *almost* ready for me to think about putting water in it... Once I have some new office mates I'll post some pics.

Cheers,

J :)

Ahhhhh James, I don't know how you can say that about our delicious Vegemite :shock:

But I do know it is an acquired taste. The secret is to only have the tiniest amount on your toast, but I'm sure your friends would have warned you of that :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
