Al B. Tross would agree with anything for a quiet life. So leave him out of it Penny. The counselling is working and he feels really happy for once, so don't go messing his head up.

On the other hand I have spent an eye opening evening with C. Gull, and he says he saw you strutting your stuff at the Snow Ball. There's me taking over the world, while you just lounge around being fed shrimp by all and sundry.

It's over Penny. I have continents to devour.

Noddies are Terns aren't they. Well what would a Tern know? You've heard of Tern-coat! Never could trust one.
Leave no Tern unstoned 'till we get the truth I say!
For everything Tern Tern Tern there is a season ...
It didn't last anyway. Well maybe just a season. He Terned out not to be the one.
He's really a Booby. A Masked Booby. Ask Al B. Tross if he's not. Penny

Penny, cut the crap and go to hell on an ice floe. You said you would be true to me. You said we could start looking at flat pack furniture together. You said I made you feel like no other. You said we had a future. You said alot didn't you Penny?

Thanks Noddy, guess you've been shat on by a penguin too eh?

Oh Pingu, I love it when you play hard to get! As for Mr. Ahmad Dillo how could you even suggest such a thing? You have a cousin? I'm interested. Send him over. He'll do for a warm up.
As for your dear mother I believe she came regularly to our place to play FISH. My mother was keen on card playing too and they were good friends. They would have loved to have us paired off. Penny

Penny, I have heard all about your dalliance with the Giant Armadillo, and quite frankly am devastated. My mother told me not to trust you and she was, as ever right. Please don't contact me again, as I do not want my mission to be impeded by overwrought emotions.

I will send my cousin around for my vinyl.

Quite right. It's an incredibly fat groundhog! It must have done the 30 days of supersized meals at McDonald's to get that figure. Still, I think it might be a worthy adversary for the Giant Penguin.

Charley, I have alerted Jack Halyard to the imminent threat to the James Craig, and will see to it that an appropriate shanty is crafted that will drive the giant penguin away.

If he can't do it, nobody can!

Chief Chaos - much as I like LTS - I think that the idea of her "skinny dipping" is an oxymoron - mind you I'd enjoy seeing her "well-rounded dipping".

Why not send this penguin to Hull - I'm sure it would like whelks - it might end up curried though.

Darling Harbour threatened! Oh, no! You mean the tall-ship James Craig will be munched up, her masts and spars spat out like so many fish bones. Jack Halyard, you can't let that happen. Assemble the Wattle Street Trogs and the Pyrmont Street Flash Girls and defend this beautifully restored bark from the Giant Penguin's bite.

We may get a ballad out of this yet!

Oh dear Joy......what will we do if Penguin eats the moon? Does that mean my feet will no longer be hairy at the full moon, becauise there will be no full moon anymore?

However I won't cry if Penguin eats Darling Harbour. That place (with the exception of the Maritime Museum) is the pits.

John Warner's "Anderson Coast" is a magnificent song, and about the only sane writing in this thread. I am here because I was so directed ... and I will get the one who so directed me ... are you listening, Rich-Joy?

So far (touch wood) all is well here in the wild western suburbs of Sydney. However there was something on the news the other day about the eclipse early in the morning - I don't think it was an eclipse at all, I reckon it was the giant penguin standing in front of the moon.

I haven't seen Bob Bolton for some time - maybe the giant penguin got him.

You will find a clip of "Andersons Coast" here

It is Margaret Walters' website. Click on CD's and scroll down to Pithead In The Fern, then click on the notes next to Anderson's Coast. It's John singing it. Lovely song!

Ghost of Freda-

Good to hear that at least your muse survives.

If only Bob Bolton could have been mobilized with his bush bandits, they would have driven the beast out beyond Sydney Heads with their concertinas, fiddles, and banjos in less time than it takes to shake a fish finger. But I suppose Bob was overwelmed in the initial onslaught before he could shift out of his tie and jacket as the Oz Energy Commission headquarters came tumbling down. So sad to have seen this happen on CNN.

But what of Sandra, JennyO, JennyG, Jack Whiplash, Margaret, Chris of Canberra and the others too dear to mention?

So sad, indeed!

my building went down, i was buried in the rubble - this is the ghost of freda writing, to confound all those sceptics..

Giok, you can hear a beautiful version of that song (called Anderson's coast) on a CD by Nancy Kerr and James Fagan called Steely Water. It's also on John Warner and Margaret Walter's CD, Pithead in the Fern, which has some other great songs on it by John Warner as well, one of which i heard last night as a session at the Riverview Hotel in Balmain. It was the end of the evening, and John just played it out of the blue. we are lucky to have hime here in sydney!

Stalwart hero steps into the path of the Great Colossus Penguin striding toward yet another city, the ground shaking with each of the monster's footsteps. Standing directly in its path, stalwart hero, in defiance, shouts the dreaded words, "Pluck you!!!"

(Webbed foot the size of a circus tent mashes stalwart hero flat.)

Can nothing stop this creature?
