Hey, Mike do you have a mic. I'd love to hear you say that in your Australian accent! Has it become a little Japanised?

Na, not at all Maj. Actually I try so hard to speak with a neutral accent that when I last spoke to my brother in Aussie he told me I sounded like a Pommie ('strine' for an Englishman)!!!
Re mic. Yes I do, but it is time for me to go eat beer and drink dinner now. Trying to talk into a mic. while I do all that could be really messy - your speakers (or headset) could get clogged up.
Another time Maj Smile [:)]

Hi guys...

Mikes question brought a smile to my face for reasons that perhaps only Aussies could understand. BTW Maj - Mike was using in the question in the formal sense; Australians are always polite and well spoken... you ask Mike Wink [;)]

I am in the Middle East, in a country that has been in the news lately. Can't really say much more that...

Mike means when he is going to eat beer, he actually means a dogs body with dead horse Smile [:)]

That can be a new thread, trying to work out what that means.

Well I'm an Aussie but I still don't understand half of what you guys have written. I guess I'm just not ocker enough Wink [;)]

. But like Maj said perhaps I'd understand it if I heard it spoken. At the moment I'm starting to read English in a Japanese way so everything is screwed up.
