freitasm: You should move to NZ :)

At the risk of losing a new user, Whirpool in Australia is the equivalent of Geekzone in NZ....

'STRAYA!!!!

But don't go whirlpool, they suck.... Not even a shade on geekzone.

I'm an Aussie, and find GZ awesome and WP full of trolls and weirdos.

PS, Welcome to the best forum in the Southern Hemisphere!

Isn't that the definition in the dictionary under the word Australian?

Says someone in a country who spends more time fixated on Aussie than Australians... I bet 50% of NZ's could name Aussie PM whereas 90% of Australians wouldn't know who yours is, or care.
John Key did make entertainment news with a ponytail thing last week though.

Plus the fact only 25% of Aussies would know what rugby was. And give a toss about it. :D

Oh please, the only reason for that is because the Australian PM is so bad at his job EVERYONE knows who he is!

Oh no! How will the Rugby world cope ? :)

In five years (realistically more), yes you could.

JaffaCakes: Welcome from another n00b. Whereabouts in France did you grow up? I lived there for four years - Seine-et-Marne, Aveyron and Lot-et-Garonne.

I spent most of my time on the South coast (Cannes/Grasse/Valbonne/ Sophia Antipolis) area.
My parents still live in Grasse, so it's nice to go back and enjoy the food and sun.

:)

What possessed you to move to France for half a decade?

Ooh very nice!

As for me, I was hired by EuroDisney (as it still was then) when I lived in England, so moved to France to work for them.

Disney! How fun! What did you do there?
Whirlpool can wait. This place looks nice :)

Very boring really. I was a food & beverage purchaser for the hotels. The social life was fantastic, though! Pretty much everyone was single, and I was almost considered old, at 24 ha ha!

I always wondered what working at Disney would be like... Any horrible/wonderful secrets you know of that happens backstage?

Australia, where they create a national 'All Australian Team' for a game no other country plays (Australian Rules).

Sounds like the US "World Series" in baseball. I believe a couple of Canadian teams might be allowed to play, but it's always the US that wins. Eddie Izzard has a few things to say about that, too...

OK so once, a cast member took his 5-year old son backstage to meet the characters. HUGE no-no! Imagine how deeply he crushed his son's dreams when he saw Mickey et al all with their 'heads' off, having a smoke in the allowed area hehehe ... there's lots more, but I'm off to bed now. Remind me later!
