Mystify - INXS (1987) 3. All I Want - Toad The Wet Sprocket (1991) 4. Alle Auf Pause - Couch (2001) 5. Patience - Guns N' Roses (1988) 6. Mardy Bum - Arctic Monkeys (2006) 7. Play That Funky Music - Wild Cherry (1976) 8. Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia) - Us3 (1993) 9. Serenata Rap ~ Jovanotti (1994) 10. Moonlight Drive - The Doors (1967) Did I make much of a difference?

OLD 55 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I'll give you the drum in a minute, Radhi, about how your votes would have/ or not affected the Ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Strange... Google Translate doesn't have an option for 'Australian' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 That's because they think we speak 'English'. No, your votes wouldn't have changed the Ten at all. There you are - I just 'gave you the drum', 'clued you up'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 You Poor Kid. I hate to be the one to have to tell you, but Melburnians think the sun (when/if they can see it) revolves around them. To see the real Australia, proceed North or West from where you are now. Katie and Chris will back me on this one ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed I fit right in I did go to the outback for a few days, btw. I refer to it fondly as 'the middle of nowhere'. A national park somewhere in NSW 60km away from the tiniest trace of civilisation. I survived! And met some emooz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karma Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 one of these days, I am going to go to Australia 'cause that place fascinates me. I understand that they have a very low crime rate there but I want to go walkabout and see lots of country. Only thing, I am not to crazy about their spiders. Snakes I can handle but those darn spiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
