Marvellous news that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will actually be visiting Melbourne! smile
Would be even more marvellous if they could announce that another pair of tiny Royal feet is on the way. Can't wait! blush

Jalima; You don't have to think they are going; they are going. wink
And why "over to me"? I would have thought you all knew who the Sussexes were by now! They're the real McCoy! grin

terribull; Sorry! it was tongue-in-cheek of course, but I was getting nervous, with a feeling that an anti- Royalist gang was lining me up for a bit of bullying! grin so I was working out how many supporters I'll have if it comes down to hand-to- hand combat. Neutrals are fine! wink
I now think I'm safe because my thread is now focussed on "Soaps," which is getting a bit off-topic, but keeping things calm!

Neighbours is far more interesting Rufas, but Megan has published a cook book !

And why "over to me"
Rufus I think you imbibed more of that Shiraz than you're letting on shock

By 'Over to Rufus' I meant you could be the expert on the Australian pronunciation of 'Meghan'.

Megghan
Meeghan
or even Mayghan
?

Anniebach Tue 18-Sept-18 10:37:29

I misspell her name, too use to the Welsh Megan

Jalima1108 Tue 18-Sept-18 10:46:28

Megan is pronounced Meegan in Australia

I always get confused.

Jalima; No Way! Scout's honour! You're confusing this with that well known phenomenon of if a lady tells you she's 39,say, you can safely add back that 10 she's knocked off.! Likewise with smokers; if the doc asks "how many a day? and you answer "half a pack", he'll write "1 pack" in your notes. Same with booze; "you say only social; he'll write "only sociable when he's drinking"! grin.

Is it wine o'clock over there again Rufus
grin

Rufus2 Tue 18-Sept-18 13:16:34

Jalima; You know we also have 24 wine o'clock hours each day, so take your pick! confused
You'll notice I'm back on air, obviously. That Shiraz must be good quality; my other keyboard is still lifeless, so I might operate tomorrow; maybe a cardiac transplant.! sad

Terribull; did that koalanet.com. link work for you?
