Yes, I do, I learnt it whilst I lived in Sweden.
Do you have Australian Shows on your TV?
(Threads con be confusing mismi, I have the same problems sometimes, only because I play so many.
)
No, none that I know of...oh wait! The Upside Down show and The Wiggles!
They are Aussie productions aren't they? My kids love them...and I LOVE the Upside Down Show...watch it with my kids - The Wiggles? Well...I have seen them too much apparently!
Can you name some Australian Shows that you think might be here?
The Wiggles of course, very popular here as well, Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Man (now unfortunately deceased), Leyland Brothers, made heaps of documentaries about Australia. I thought perhaps soapies like "Neighbours" and "Home and Away", both been running here for 20 odd years, also shown in the UK.
Would you believe 75% of all Television shows here come from the US?
That is surprising - 75%?...We love Steve Irwin. The boys still ask me about his death. That little Bindi is a doll though...we love her. Of course the Wiggles! But the others I have not heard of.
What are you speaking on tomorrow?
My experiences as a diver and rescue operator.
Have you by any chance seen a documentary named "Tuna Cowboys" on TV, they say it's very popular in the US, it features my sons's fishing company?
I didn't see it - it came on on the National Geographic channel...that is awesome Dutchy! I will pay closer attention to when it comes on again. I had no clue that was what your son did...
It says Dangerous jobs...Is his job dangerous?
The danger is the "Sharks" but luckily they have never had an accident yet. Should you watch it, my son is the Skipper talking to the Pilot of the spotter plane overhead.
Do you eat Tuna in the US?
I love tuna...yes we eat it...I now like it raw...shashimi? maguro - think they call it...anyway - think it is great!
I will make a point to watch - that's pretty awesome Dutchy.
You ready for your speech?
Yes, that won't be a problem, they all know what a B.S.A I am, that's why they asked me in the first place, its nothing official.
Are you home by yourself again tonight?
No...hubby is putting the boys to bed and getting ready for bed...I am just playing until I have wound down.
So you are well educated in the Southern Hemispheric art of B.S.? We are Western...Japan is Eastern...what is Australia?
I believe we are 'downunder'
Do you think I may have misunderstood you about B.S?
I've no idea.
Can you swim like a fish?
Well I can swim...but I can't hold my breath that long.
B.S. does not mean Bachelor of Science...what do YOU think it means?
Exactly what you're thinking.
Do you think I was born yesterday?
I know you weren't born yesterday... You told me!
Do you ever go on the tuna boats with your son?
Not fishing but often to the Tuna farms when I visit him.
What's on your program today?
Going to eat lunch at school with the kids. Cleaning up the messes we made yesterday and then working on projects tonight.
Did you speak already? It's Friday night there right?
Still Thursday. Tomorrow night is the dinner.
Do you have school canteens in the US? (They do here, the kids can purchase their lunches, drinks etc and they are manned by the mothers of the students)
No we have cafeterias though...we have "lunch ladies". Ladies that are paid by the school to cook and serve warm food for the kids. It's not the greatest food to be honest. My boys love Pizza day and Chicken Finger day! But they usually take their lunch. It is better for them really. DH and I are going to eat lunch with them today though. They are so excited.
You about to turn in?
Not quitte, only 10.40pm, still completing a puzzle.
Still not getting used to the time zones. Is it 8.15am at your place right now?
