Thats funny, he seems to pretty renown over there in oz, when i was in tazzy Charlie Pride was the talk of the town!

For me there is a local legend that when I was in a bar in Athens Georgia I started talking to Michael Stipe of REM. Apparently I told him that I loved all their REM albums except for the last I thought was shite . I don't really don't recall anything from the alcoholic binge, so I don't know if my mates are yanking my chain or not. I hope they are.

Oh pretty much seen all the kiwi actors from LOTR and Shortland Street roaming around Mission Bay. And saw Ed Hillary here in auckland too (He actually has his home phone number listed in the public phone book under Hillary, Sir Edmund)

And because I am really not afraid to embarrass myself, here is a picture of miss queensland, me and miss australia in Dingo, Australia. Embarassing for miss queensland and miss oz that is!
