Hi, one of the Toyworlds in Melbourne is having a Pete.C commemorative sale
of 7151's for $19.

We've been in the UK 5 months now and we're having a blast. We're both into
new jobs, working hard , and finding the time to do a bit of sightseeing.
Priority No. 1 when we got here was a season pass to LEGOland Windsor which
is just fantastic (update on the website will contain some pics, once I sort
through the 500 I have - love that digital camera!!)

How many times have you been so far ?

Apart from the weather, traffic, public transport, crowds, cost of living
and an island full of the infamous "British stiff upper lip" the place is
great. Heaps of history, sights, and fantastic proximity to Europe. And
we're both earning pounds sterling, a bonus given the current plight of the
Aussie Peso.

Now if they could just transport the population off somewhere...
and populate it with Australians.

LEGO is a wee bit cheaper here than back in Oz, sort of like BigW prices or
slightly better. Range is fantastic, particularly at LEGOland, and with my
season pass I get 10% off!!! I'm working on building a sizeable collection
whilst we're here, but shipping it home at the end of it all is going to be
interesting!

So K thought you going cold turkey would cure you ?
Welcome back !

Hi Studs, Bugs, Mugs and LegOzers all over. It's been a turbulent 5 months, but I've finally found my way to a home PC and got myself reconnected to the net (somebody please tell these Poms it's the 21st Century.... Please!!). I've been lurking in (...) (24 years ago, 3-Dec-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
