I was in the chat room at 9:30pm CET and it was bloody quiet :cool:

I thought Sunday nights were a go?!

I was there for about five minutes at 2pm CST. Nobody there. We are going to have to promote this a little better next week. :bigsmile:

Agreed - I was walking the dogs early so I could get back for the chat.

I had to explain the early walk to them but they weren't impressed!

Sorry, I was helping make sure that none of our "Bloomin Onion" went to waste at Outback. The burger wasn't bad either.

Given that 9:30 pm CET would be about 05:30 am AEST where do you think I was ? In bloody bed ?

Unfortunately no, I was working dogwatch, so I was wide awake. Unfortunately the "Net Nanny" at work doesn't allow sites like this, mention firearms and it has an attack of the vapours.

So I had to occupy myself with other things.

Woftam, do you have an Outback Steak House in NSW? Got some stock in the company. Of course the owners probably never left the United States. At the moment I think some bigger company is attempting to buy them.

Brass Rat prompted the question.

Brass Rat, not much on the onions but love their steaks.

Niner,

apparently there are a couple in Sydney. Don't hear much about them, so I don't think they are real popular.

Spot on with the timing Duncan - agrees with my latest toy, A PDA with a world clock. :cool:

Skype ? Isn't that a bird ? :?:

A cousin in Perth eh ? At least one branch of the family is blessed with enough common sense to emigrate to God's own country. :lol:

You silly twisted boy :lol:

Skype is a free programme that allows you to talk to anyone in the world with the same programme using computers on the net. If you have a webcam that can be seen as well. You need broadband for it to work but I regularly chat with my cous in Perth for free. I also have contacts in Dubai, Portugal and the UK.

Check it out - might be interesting.
