I just got off the phone with Magdalena from Australia!
I sent her a Christmas gift/Firefly care package the first week of December and she FINALLY got it! They sure are strict in customs.
She has a wonderful Aussie accent...I could listen to her all day!
She's hoping to get on the computer more soon...she misses all her FFF.net friends.

Nice Australia, I like Austrailia - they have puggles there. And alot of really cool people live there. In my books anyone from Austrailia is cool untill proven otherwise.
Too bad about the customs delay tho - but a firefly care package would be worth the wait.

Aaah, Penguin, how sweet - a phone call from Magda. I hope you told her how much we are missing her.

Was just in a caption thread and was thinking
about how we don't see Magda or Emma in those
things anymore. Sob.

Australian accents are the best! I agree I could listen to an Australian girl speak all day.
That package took over 2 months!!!
If you go by freighter it usually only takes about 3 weeks. Must have been some hang up someplace. Unless you included grenades in that care package.

Hi Penguin
What is it with the Australian accent ? I spent 20 years in the Royal Australian Air Force and met 100s of US servicemen & women - every single one of them was a credit to themselves and their country. Whenever we'd have a few drinks (as you do), it invariably included numerous requests to say "G'day" or "fair dinkum". Though for some reason any talk about buying a carton of XXXX was often met with a lot of laughter. Never figured out what was so funny about a carton of beer.
Personally I love the Scottish accent, especially from young kids - its brilliant to listen to.

Oh, yes, and Magda's is very nice too!
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

I agree. Australian accents are the best. Especially when you are one.
‘Horary for me!’
The customs thing in Australia is a little stricter over here because were not connected to any major continent. Because were surrounded by sea, our ecological system is a risk from bugs, etc. Just think of the late Steve Irwin. ‘Conservation’.
BTW as far as I can tell… no-one ‘ever’ speaks like Steve Irwin! Ever!
