The Festive Season

[Aussie_Paul]

I would like to wish all my friends and enemies on the gyroplane forums a Holy, Happy, and Merry Christmas, as well as a happy and prosperous New Year, 2004.

I have enjoyed the debating, the fighting, the discussing, and in particular the comradeship that I have felt during the last few years.

If it were not for you people I would not have developed further as a person (I know, I know, still a long way to go) and learnt so much. Thank you all for being so tolerant of me in my lesser moments.

Paul, Merry X-mas to you Oz folks too.

I wanted to do something nice for you for Xmas so I found a song from your native lands and thought I would post the Lyrics here for us all to read.





Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"I come from a land down under


Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

I still have the 45rpm single lying around somewhere.
