ps. Charley & Brett - It's MANLY - & , it was so named by Governor Phillip in 1788 because the natives had a manly bearing! Rushcutters Bay just down the road from me was another coining of his - the natives were cutting rushes when he saw them there.

Lana - we do have (English) Marmite here also Promite (dunno who makes that), do you want your father to bring back a jar of each for tasting when you next meet? (Just joking!!)

Chris - great song, but then I'm prejudiced cos I think all your songs are great. See ya.
