i'll be leaving these fair shores for england at the end of march, so
anytime after that would suit me to a t :)

then todd astounded us (well, me) quite promptly with a correct reply ..

etc etc

hmmm.

>So...ummm...what do I get?

well, quite a good answer, but you forgot to mention mel gibson (and his
starring role as a fresh faced youngster in the fil-m galipolli.... )
which would have scored you an extra 20 points and a copy of an
*authentic* anzac recipe. you'll have to settle for a bushmans hat with
corks tied with string all the way around to keep away the blowies and a
delicious vat of vegemite. if i have enough gum leaves to pay the
postage i may even send you a cute kangaroo or koala too (we keep them
as pets, you know?) 
 
hooroo cobbers!
