    The road to version 3 of ImgBurn

    Male poms perhaps, but now I read you're after our women :o ...

     

    They were dismal at the Olympics, the drought has ravaged the country and wine exports are down.

     

    So gloomy Australians are hitting back in the best way they know how. They are trying to steal our women.

     

    Britain, according to the Australians' latest pitch to attract immigrants, is full of highly skilled, single young women dissatisfied with the quality of their lives - and the choice of menfolk.

     

    The answer? Move to South Australia which promises good jobs, cheap property, warm weather and low crime. Oh, and plenty of men.

     

    The approach, in keeping with Australian custom, couldn't be much more direct.

     

    Bill Muirhead, South Australia's Agent General in London, said: 'We can offer UK migrants a quality lifestyle, strong career prospects, beautiful beaches, world-class wine and fine weather.

     

    'Our research shows that many single British women are actively looking for love but not finding it.

     

    For those interested, South Australia needs doctors and health professionals, accountants, planners and chefs.

     

    It operates a points-based system designed to admit the best-qualified immigrants.

     

    There may, of course, be a downside. South Australian men are fanatical about Aussie Rules football, a sport where the rules are best described as 'forget about the ball, get on with the game'.

     

    But for those keen on joining the estimated 50,000 Britons a year leaving for new lives in Australia, an information meeting will be held next week.

     

    This will take the form of a 'speed dating' evening in which British women will get to meet 'eligible men' including a winemaker, a chef, engineers, bankers, and surfers.

     

    Mr Muirhead said it will 'bring together confident British women with some of the best men South Australia has to offer'.

    He has to be like that...look at where he lives...

     

    An amazing 25,000 British tourists go there every year and, unlike the good old days of transportation, most of them come back.

     

    But not all. In fact, 2,433 tourists have died in Australia over the past seven years.

     

    Drowning, car crashes and heatstroke are among the big killers. There are killer crocodiles lurking in a few centimetres of water; sharks that snack at most of the popular beaches; deadly jellyfish; poisonous toads which can make you throw up just by looking at them; plus the three million varieties of venemous spider.

     

    Even Australia's cuddly national symbols have a violent streak.

     

    'A koala can give you a nasty bite or carve you up with its claws,' says Ranger Craig Adams, of the Australian Reptile and Wildlife Park.

     

    And a few years ago, a poor 13-year-old boy was viciously beaten up by a kangaroo.

    Convict baiting? Surely not...

     

    There is a famous story from Seoul in 1988 that there were so many used condoms on the roof terrace of the British team's residential block the night after the swimming concluded that the British Olympic Association sent out an edict banning outdoor sex.

     

    In Beijing, organisers have realised that such prohibitions are about as useful as banning breathing and have, instead, handed out thousands of free condoms to the athletes. If you can't stop 'em, at least make it safe.

     

    Real men...no doubt the Aussie team were tucked up in bed by 9 with a glass of warm milk. :D

     

    Good point about Jamaica, that Bolt geezer is something else...

     

    Hey lfc. Did you hear about the woman who married a ghost? Turns out he put the willies up her on their wedding night...

    Must be a really painfull time for you Oz blokes...

     

    The failure of Australian men's swimming team to win a single gold (it's the first time that's happened since 1976 in Montreal) and the British domination in cycling and sailing must be very hard...

     

    We even got gold in the Women's 400meters...

     

    I, uh, weep for you. (The Walrus said), I (hic) oh excuse me,

    I deeply sympathise...

    Lot of bitching about the regeneration that wasn't, but could you see a new Dr being lined up with no sniff of it in the tabloids or on the net?

     

    Yeah davros looked cool but lacked the menace of old and you'd think he'd have loyalty even if it was a bomb planted up the red one - just in case.

     

    It would have been interesting if...

     

    Donna was Romana - cos the last thing Tom Baker said to her was that she was the most "noble" time lord of all (Donna Noble - geddit?) Or the Master cos of the ring. Very suspicious about that ring - they even had light glinting off it in her last scene. I'm sure it, and her, will come back next year. And she kept saying she was just a temp.

     

    DT now off playing Hamlet with Capt. Picard at Stratford-Upon-Avon which isn't far from me. I would go and see it but the tickets are changing hands for over

    All good questions db, be interesting to see where it goes. RTD will be wanting to set up his specials for next year and prepare for his exit.

     

    I think they could do a lot worse than bringing back Jenny - his daughter - as a companion for a while. Assuming the spin off they were so obviously angling for doesn't get green lit.

     

    Here's a link to a youtube vid with more info. SJS & K9 return - I'd heard that, bit Sir Ben Kingsley as Davros? Thats taking the pith...

    If you use the .wmv format try Dvd Flick or Super to convert them.

     

    Here's a guide for doing it with Dvd Flick...

    Another method would be to record to a stand alone Dvd recorder which will convert for you. If it has a HDD you can edit your video on that before burning...
