Hmmmm and a certain person *ahem* told me that the whole Lego Theme Park
idea was originally Australian! Yep, ___ said that 16 plus years ago - (I
was told this a few years ago) someone worked for Lego in Aussie and came up
with the idea of a Lego world, Lego heard about the idea and made it their
own with no credit to him or Australia :( oooooooooooooooooh how typical I
say! I guess we'll also come up with a Lego 'cure' too... we are good at that!

Yeah! Where's my 'Build ya own Vegemite Jar!'

Ever heard of Buried Treasure? :P

Hmmm well we are only some-what new to all this online Lego stuff really...
give it time!

Yeah!... An actual Lego Outlet store!... *wishes to win the 20 Million Lotto
coming up*... Bah! I'll need atleast 15 of that to convince Lego to even
allow one here

Mel... I still have fog in my eyes!
See-ya round like a Lego Pizza! (last time I said that to someone... he said
he was in fact a Pizza Delivery Driver!... Eeeek! hehe)
