I think someone was telling you porkies!

Durex means the same here as it does there!

We just bought her the ticket for her Birthday and when we gave it to her she was so excited, it was brilliant!

So now we are all in London mode getting her all ready for the trip!

It's my Dad's 65th this year so we're currently putting our heads together for what to do for him. Maybe a trip to WDW? He's bound to need a guide!!!

Yes UKfan, I think someone was pulling your leg with that....a roll of durex.....that wouldn't sit well in blue Peter!

Oh, and I thought of another great thing about Australia. All the new movies open up on a Thursday, so I'm too see Pirates today! It's my birthday, so I've taken the day off, and I'm going to see Pirates in the afternoon. Speaking of which, another thing over here is "they go the movies", where as "I go to the cinema".
