Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and have recently moved to Albany, WA and am still trying to find my way around. I get a bit bored in the evenings so have been lucky enough to find this site. I hope it's okay if I join in.

G'day beachbabe and :welcome: aboard. You're very welcome here. :thumbsup:

Where did you move from? UK??

thanks proofreader, yeah I left sunny dorset for even sunnier climes here and am lovin it

Hello, Beachbabe, my name's TopCat. I'm an old prowler round this site and I've been in Sydney 20 years.

Went to Albany in 1985. Was cold and wet. :(

Welcome to the funny farm sorry forum.

Good onya, beachbabe. Just watch out for the Cornish lion we have roaming the forums! :lion: :wink:

You'll find that most of the action here takes places in the 'Piffle and Pish' forum. Feel free to join in! :D

Hi Topcat. wow 20 years is a long time you must like it there

thanks proofreader will look for that

Err...well...I'm a creature of habits that are hard to break.

Let's just say that Sydney gets under your skin but my skin is thinner than it used to be. :wink:

Welcome Beachbabe. You made it at last :)

I thought you failed to pick up my message for a while there.

what message was that ? Sorry Bix I'm not sure that I know what you are talking about. Is there somewhere for messages ?

:rolleyes: Don't confuse the poor lass, Bix! :bop:

I did try to warn you, beachbabe!! ;) :D

Yes. You just have to snuggle up to his mane and whisper your message in his ear.

And whatever you do, don't go down the tail end. :rolleyes:





BIX!! Get DOWN you NAUGHTY lion or I shall send the Taronga zoo keepers after you with their stun darts again. :hide:

It was my telepathic message that brought you to the forum BB :)

I sent out a message for beautiful people to come join us.....and here you are :yu:

See, it worked :wink:

I think it may take a while for me to get used to you all. you totally confused me for a while there

Hi Beachbabe!

:welcomesign:

We're heading Perth way too as soon as we've sold our house.

You'll have lots of fun here, it's like a maze of entertainment. I can never find enough time to spend on this forum. The people here are all diamonds! :thumbsup:

Enjoy, :flowers:

Except ABCD.....who isn't.....here :whistle:

Ah, think nothing of it lass.
We are very pleased to see you here and hope you join in the fun :wink:

now bixie, u leave the new lassie alone. shes still finding her feet................shes just been to weight watchers :lol:

hey get down Bix :she:


welcome beachbabe shame you're not nearer us in Mandurah I know how the evenings can be but i'll catch you on here. where abouts in Dorset are you from cos i was only telling bix the other day that theres a great pasty shop in Weymouth :whistle:

No, Bix, be fair, he did fail to show up at the Prime Minister's residence on behalf of the forum yet did take his cakes :wink:

Welcome Beachbabe. Dont let this lot confuse you, there all lovely really (if you know what parts to kick) :lol:

hi beachbabe, welcome to the forum :wave:

we are a pretty friendly bunch on here ... if bix gets to slobbery just poke him with a big stick :D

sue xx

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, I'm gonna bin my telly and buy a mega screen for my pc instead :dance2:

Hiya Beachbabe and welcome to the asylum :P :rolleyes: you'll find the lunatics here are really some of the nicest peeples you could meet - much better entertainment than the telly :ecstatic:

so where in Albany are you - god you had massive storm there last week - where you ok? :wacko:

:rolleyes: You are so full of it sometimes :wacko:

But we wouldn't have it any other way :wink:

Welcome Beachbabe. My inlaws live in Dorset and their daughter lives in Perth but is planning on retiring to Albany - small world :thumbsup: We live on the Gold Coast so perhaps its not such a small world after all :blushing:

I'm based in Orana and it's totally dead here. I wanted to go to Sydney but came over with bf who had a job here but we've since split up and I can't afford to move over :(

That's a bummer. Could you not perhaps move p nearer to Perth? Wouldn't be quite such a backwater, despite what some people think :rolleyes: :lol:

I've never been to Albany but have been told that it's cold. We met an Ozzie who joked that if he finds any homesick brits, he sends them to Albany so they feel more at home :whistle:
