I thought that will get your attention. :D
Dearest friends, I am off to the you ass say to work for 5 weeks. I am taking my 2 assistants with me for a short family holiday at Dizzyland in LA California. I love to meet snow white and the dwarfs. :o
Then I will be working very hard for 4 weeks in a secret location somewhere in Kentucky. OK they don’t pay for my holiday for nothing. :(
I will be visiting the forum while you are sleeping. So behave yourself and leave the cats alone.
Kiss kiss. :)

Chicken ?.....no, no, I've tasted a yanks, and I assure you, your not missing much. Tastes no different to an Aussies. More like a kind of North Atlantic seaweed. So leave snow white alone ok. There more trouble than there worth anyway. Besides shes taken....hey, hey, steady you kinky little dawfs. Dont crowd her. One at a time alright !!!!
Have a good time. Don't forget to string them along with serious sounding falsehoods back home. Like, our annual drop bear toss competition....and how Kangaroos are just EVERYWHERE, running amuck down our city streets. etc......

I used to work for a venomous little dwarf on the Peninsula, known as the poison dwarf, if Snow White needs one I can provide you with an address, do Australia a favour.

So it is not a free family holiday after all. :mad: I need to pay FBT (94%) on the airfares, airport taxes for my wife and daughter. :mad: I knew about the FBT on the airfares but could never imagine paying FBT on airport tax. Tax on tax :mad: :mad: :mad: , are you kidding me?
To cut the story short, it is like buying 5 return tickets (plus tax) to Kentucky. Unfortunately it is about $1600 (before tax) more than the business class ticket which I am entitled to.
I hate the tax office :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: (blood sucker).
When we get onto the plane on Sunday and it will all be forgotten. Disneyland, here I come :)

a little tip for ya.
buy whatever you can in the way of drinks and food before you get into the park. It maybe the happiest place on earth and it's also the most expensive, food and drinks are an absolute rip off. There is an IHOP pancake house a very short walk from the main gate, it's on harbor blvd - good food and great prices.
if you haven't already thought of it you might want to look at getting a park hopper pass so you can do california adventure also. I don't think you will need five days in disneyland.
if you're a roller coaster fan maybe a day trip to 6 flags just down the road is an idea.
If it's not too late buy your passes here, they should be much cheaper.
you are going at a very busy time so one way to make a bit less painful is: Plan out what rides you want to go on before hand. When you get into the park go to each of those rides and if they have a fast pass booth get passes for each of you and then head to the next ride... Each of the fast passes have a time stamp as to when you can come back and jump most of the que. If organised well you can save hours standing in line.
avoid starcade - it sucks badly
the fireworks show is a must, but you have to plan ahead. stand by the round about in front of sleeping beauties castle for the best spot. at this time of the year you may have to get there a couple hours early to get a place to sit.
you may get lucky and feel an earth quake if you haven't already.

Yoo dude, hows going? :D
America is an interesting place. So far I have spent more money on tipping then anything else. :eek: Well let’s call it compulsory generosity. It is an idea I still struggle to understand. :confused: Why dont they just add 10% to the bill? :confused:
Do they sell small cars here? Everyone drives a big car here or should I call it a truck. :cool:
Well Disneyland is totally amazing and we love it. You should see the expression on Jasmin’s face. She is having the experience of her life and it is why I wanted to take the girls with me so much. However my wallet is a little bit lighter but hey what the heck. :)
It is second day in America but I am already feeling homesick. I miss my tools. :D

Actually, it's a little known fact that all the big brands are actually manufactured in the one factory.
I went there last time. Here's a picture to prove it. Surprisingly I even discovered that UBeaut products were made there, and not in Geerong as had been previously supposed.
Too much rice is never enough!
