Dear BAYGON,

A man who loves libraries.
What a bonus for your wife
having a "novel" lover ... ;-)

Seriously, your small town sounds
Luverly! I certainly can appreciate
your feelings.

I'm a librarian.

I agree with most here, especially severin and pelican. Countries and places are not boring, it is a state of mind. Although some places are more interesting than others.

Fancy severin being an ex-bikie and Foxy being a librarian. How could anyone be bored, the mind boggles. We posters keep learning little bits about each other. Like pelican I live rural and love it. I have my cattle, my chooks which are simply the best recyclers and garbage disposal units ever and my shetland pony, who does the whipper snipping around the yard, spoilt rotten of course, big hard nosed me!

The quiet is deafening and I can watch TV or listen to music when I feel like it and there are books and this bloody PC, where I spend too much time. Right now I am addicted to following Jessica Watson sail into history. Who could ever be bored. No country is boring.

I have to agree, boredom is largely a state of mind. I have a curious
nature, so am always wondering about something, wheras some seem
to need constant stimulation from others, to avoid being bored.

Yup Pericles, I have Swiss origins and lived there for some years.
The place is not really boring, just well organised. You are clearly
not into snow skiing!

*A bit of fresh air, water to swim in, a few good books, plays, music, chooks, ducks, geese and a vegie patch and I am happy.*

Sheesh, I just know she should have married me :)

Watch out for Foxy, & all her books of hers you blokes, they're dangerous.

It was all those books about Spitfires in WW11 that led to me flying fighters, off aircraft carriers.

Then it was a book about Henery Ford that had me studding engineering.

It was The Man From Snowy River that made me want a horse, & then go show jumping, when I couldn't find any wild horses to chase through rugged mountain ranges.

I can't even pronounce rhe names of the couple of Italians who's books about motor racing, between the wars, sent me off thundering around Bathurst at a hundred miles an hour.

Then that pommy, Chichester & his book, Along the Clipper Way made me spend 6 years sailing around the Pacific islands, looking for all that romance.

So if ever you get bored, just drop into Foxy, & grab a book. That should fill a few years, if you chose a good one.

Dear Hasbeen,

You've just proven something I've always
suspected...
Real men do read! ;-)

Hasbeen, if you weren't such a dick so often, I'd really like you. That was a great post - as I think one of us said once, we're not far apart on alot of stuff. Cheers.

P.S. it's "studying", not "studding". I only mention it because it's a spelling error you make regularly. Perhaps it's a recurrent Freudian slip?
