Melia Has Arrived!
« on: October 02, 2006, 09:08:09 pm »
I have just this minute received an SMS from Miss Melia that she has arrived in the Grand Land of Oz.

Naturally the Australian Security Services will detain her immediately, where she will be flown to an unknown Middle Eastern destination and brutalised in a fashion deemed acceptable to Jake. ;)

Little Steve, crack out the tinnies!

Hehehehe. I meant to post this in Off Topic. Must be the prednisolone and the near proximity of Miss Melia sending me silly. ;)

Hi, I have a new friend that will soone be telling me something I allready know but she dosen't know I know, she has HIV. When she tells me I would like to respond with something that will let her know that this matter isn't a problem for me and that I don't want it to stop us from becoming friends and more. What is the best way to put this? Has anyone said something really poinient that could help me say what she needs to hear?

Jim,

If you'd like to talk about your friend or other issues, you should start your own thread, not hi-jack this one. In the upper right hand corner of the page you'll see a button marked "New Topic". Click on that.

Matty,

As I work for the Government I used my contacts and had Melia taken straight to the Woomera Detention Centre. She won't be bothering us, matey. Now, I will crack open a tinnie or two.
Enjoy the sunshine, and radioactive dust of Woomera, Melia  ;D

Boys, I am counting on you not to allow this to happen to Melia.


    In 1986, while Malcolm Fraser, retired Australian PM was visiting Memphis, TN, his hotel room was burgled of his luggage, money, passport and clothes. The mysterious loss of his trousers resulted in national amusement, and the incident passed into Australian folklore.
     Man I have waited a long time to be able to use this tid-bit in a post! Melia enjoy yourself and plant a big, sloppy wet-one on my man Matty-Poo for me. :-*

I look forward to feeling the earth shaking down under.

Two of the most powerful entities of these forums spending time together is something I would love to witness.  Guess I will have to use my imagination. 

Oh well, you guys have a wonderful time together and we all want the nitty gritty details.  ;)

Has Melia been sighted yet?
Apart from an SMS announcing her arrival, all has gone quiet.

MELIA, where are you?

maybe they did ship her off to Woomera

WOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!! As the darling Mad As a Hatter Mattymoo so kindly informed you all, I'M HERE!!! ;D

And no, I'm not in Woomera...not anymore...I managed to escape from those deliciously vicious buggers, haha!  ;) (Btw thanks Lil Steve for tipping them off, mate...I'll be giving you a good hug and slap next week, my dear! :P)

So, after what felt like about 345 hours spent either in airports or planes I finally arrived...and in one piece...just about! I have been in the wonderful Land of Oz for only a day and a half and I AM SOOOOO RELAXED AND HAPPY! Not jet-lagged at all (at least I don't think I am...its hard to tell with dizzy Melia sometimes!). I'm staying with my cousin, her hubby and their 4 beautiful kids, 2 cats, one rabbit and 2 budgies...and I'm already having the best time ever! SO CHILLED! 8)

Would have been online sooner but between trying in vain to suss out wireless connections in Dubai airport, unwittingly connecting the printer to my laptop in my cousin’s guest room instead of the internet cable (DUH!) AND the internet connection crashing on us this afternoon, my eagerness to report back to all at AM had to be temporarily delayed...but I'm here now! ;)

Had a lovely call from our closet softy Matty today - like I said to him, nice to be in the same time-zone at last - and I'm just about to connect to a new Ozzie SIM card, so then I'll be able to stay in touch more easily (and more cheaply!) with both him and Steve. Today a few minute call from him ate up my UK credit - no, I didnt hang up, sweetie! - I dread to think how much it cost him to call! Bloody roaming rates!

Anyway, the plan I think is for the 3 of us to meet up next weekend. Also I may be popping up to see Matty sometime if/when I'm in his neighbourhood before then...fingers crossed...cant wait to see both you guys! :-*

OK, time to get back to my chilling...bye for now folks!

Hi Melia,

Good to hear from you! Sounds as if you are gonna have a great holiday.

Please do me a favor and give the boys a great big hug from me!

Have fun and keep us updated on your adventures in the Land of Oz.

Good to hear you are so relaxed, Melia and enjoying yourself. Especially, after the long journey to actually get here. As you say, it feels like it takes about 345 hours.

Next weekend is on for sure. I've got the OK from my boss to take Friday 13th off work. You are going to be especially lucky. Not only will you get to meet Matty and I, but my sister and the adorable Hazel and Leo will be staying with me that weekend too.

Can't wait to actually meet and greet and hug.

Little Steve

Marvellously Mellow Melia 8)

melia...

It sounds like Australia is the place to me.  Friends, family, cousins.  And I heard the Jacaranda's are starting to bloom.  Springtime, how delightful.

And even better, you get to meet Hazel and Leo.  You're so lucky.  Give my best to Matty and Stephen.
