There's a thin ring of civilization on the outer edge of Australia and a vast wasteland in the middle.
It's like Canada, but upside down.
It's like the US as drawn by New Yorkers!
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Rio, "uni" for university is pretty, um, universal British slang, so that would include the Scots.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Question: Do Scots say "uni" for university?
Only since Neighbours. It's an aussieism that has now passed into the real language.

'And on that tragic day, an era came to its inevitable end.'
That's all there is.
Australia for Beginners: Australia consists of the convict settlement of Sydney Town, which has the Bridge and the Opera House. Offshore is the Barrier Reef
To the west of Sidney Town are mountains. There is rumored to be a vast uninhabited region known as the Hay Plain on the other side of the mountains, but noöne in Cidknee Town has ever seen it. It may be a myth

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Any foreign folks about?

I'm starting to get sleepy but I just got in.
A friend of mine in the touring company got to sub in the main stage show tonight and we all went out afterwards. He was FANTASTIC.
How are you?

Glad about the fantastic.
The semester starts here today. Well, not really, because the students decided to strike for a day (it's like a national game here recently - the 'let's strike to get a day off, everybody is angry at the economy anyway'), but still. I don't know where the summer has gone so fast.
Oh, and a good friend of mine is leaving for NYC on Tuesday night.
