Hi Aussie! I love that you checked in! Keep reading, keep your fan turned on ... some day those hot flashed will be over and you'll be like me ... Old Mother Hubbard with a bare cupboard.

Bemused has been keeping us entertained, but we DID miss ya!

Whats the point of a fan, it's still summer down here. I live in the freezer or the chilled foods department at the supermarket.

As for that Bemused, if he wasn't so funny I'd have his hide for insulting us Aussies. He's probably a closet Aussie anyway, who's ever heard of a clever Kiwi?

Don't worry this old girl aint over the hill yet, Old Mother Hubbard indeed! As for the cupboard, shiver me timbers the skeletons are coming out two by two now.

More power to us old girls and if you need a top up, plug in Raz, I've got a long extension cord and enough power surges to light up Sydney.

Welcome back Aussie, I won't ask where you've been in case you tell us.

Any chance you could sort out a few communication problems that seem to be occuring in Australia? The line to NTM seems to be out of order.

Good to have you back.

Gidday Aussie!

Wonderful to have another "Aussie in Arms" in here.
I think you went off air around the time that I discovered Fanda....great to have you back.


No...I certainly wasn't implying that former NTM Aussies are now riding around in a bus called Prissilla in the desert with big hair, layers of make-up and ridiculously long eyelashes. Bemused, you never let a chance go by do you?

Not sure if many of you will be familiar with Rolf Harris. A very gifted WELSHMAN, who mistakenly has been claimed as an Australian (like the current Prime Minister, except she is female). He wrote a song called "Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport", here is the latest release:

SPOKEN: There's an old Aussie Triber lying, dying. He gets
himself up
onto one elbow and 'e turns to his mates, who are all gathered around
and 'e says:

Watch them Fanda Eagles feed, mate
Watch them Fanda Eagles feed,
They're a dangerous breed, mate
So watch them Fanda Eagles feed
Altogether now!
CHORUS:

Tie that Kiwi down, sport
Tie that Kiwi down
Tie that Kiwi down, sport
Tie that Kiwi down
Keep me reputation cool, Curl,
Keep me reputation cool
Ah, don't go acting the fool, Curl
Just keep me reputation cool
Altogether now!
(CHORUS)

'n' take me memory back, Jack
Take me memory back
It lives somewhere out on the field, Mac
So take me memory back
Altogether now!
(CHORUS)

Let the truth go loose, Lew
Let the truth go loose
It's of no further use, Lew
So let the truth go loose
Altogether now!
(CHORUS)

For I've been running a muck, Bill
And I can no longer duck
Ah, I've been running a muck, Bill
And I can no longer duck
Altogether now!
(CHORUS)

Play my epitaph on the didgeridoo, Blue
Play your didgeridoo
Ah, like, keep playin' 'til I shoot thru, Blue
Play your didgeridoo
Altogether now!
(CHORUS)

Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred
Tan me hide when I'm dead
So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde
And that's it hangin' on the shed!!
Altogether now!
(CHORUS)

Music available on You Tube to sing a long to.

That song brings back many memories! And good job on your rendition of it, Bemused! Thank you!

This song is currently being eaten with one large dose of Humble Pie, for it turns out Rolf Harris was born near Perth, Australia, not Wales as claimed by my geriatric memory. His parents and wife are from Wales and he spent much of his career in the U.K. and Canada. Hopefully this apology and large serving of humble pie will suffice before my two Downunder colleagues from that wonderful country Australia find I have made a mistake .

I loved Rolf Harris as a child! Your version has revived an old favourite.


He also did a funny song about a loudly crying child who has gotten lost in a shopping mall/supermarket.

The song you are looking for is "I've Lost My Mummy". One of the Australian missionaries Doug Croot did a rendition of it at PNG conference's Comedy night.

I always like his hit "Jake the Peg".
