As an addendum to my last email - it's strange now living in Australia that I did not recognise the first line of the Australian national anthem (hang head in shame), but in my defence I think of only 3 occasions when I've actually heard the Aussie anthem - I am not a sports lover, even when we

Anne, Becareful what you ask for. Kid you not but my tame Aussie was very tempted to bring me a purse made from the tanned and treated testicles of a kangeroo. It's the sort of thing that passes for humour out there where the heat affects your brain. He told me this, about the purse, and

Hi Peter, Did I miss your de-lurk message? Where are you in Oz, what got you on to our lace list? Oz male lacers are few and far between. Besides David (of course) I only know of three - two in the ACT, one in the Wollongong area, and one in Sydney (tatting), but I don't know them by name. 1.
