Was reading a fascinating news item about sheep the other day. Apparently somwhere in Britain some sheep have learned how to get across the cattle grating barring them from access to a village green and theyre now busy demolishing the green. To negotiate the grating the simply lie down and roll across it.....pretty smart for a sheep I reckon.

After reading that item Im now proud to be associated with sheep.

Nothing "wrong"......but if you publically display your email address you might find youll start getting lots of spam and emails from weirdos (other than the ones on this forum).

Its your choice

Hey dont scare her off Ben....I think I like this "Mister Kiwigeo" stuff.....havent had that sort of respect from a young person for ages.

**Ben from Vic.** · 3rd August 2004, 12:33 PM

I don't mean to scare anyone off.

I was just wondering how a non-woodworking young person from Oman came to find herself on an Aussie bassed (mainly) woodworking forum, thats all.

I must admit I'd never heard of Oman before.

Hi

I worked with an Iranian woman a couple of years ago, she taught herself english by watching pirated American satellite TV. Her family was quite progressive despite being from Iran, this is too long a story and too involved to put up here.
I would guess the mixture of odd english with enlgish phrases would come from the satellite broadcasts. Also how many of us as teenagers (I resisted the term "kid") did something to get a reaction. Sending odd emails to a woodworking buletin board populated by (generally) old stick in the mud men, could be seen as a bit of fun. The fact that this has got so many replies in such a short period of time probably indicates that as a strategy it worked.

Anyway congrats Noora on the response and welcome.

A'salamu Alaikum Noora,

Welcome to our little online community.

Himzo.

Hey I am old, but not really stick in the mud. I was going to ask Noora to do a belly dance for us, but then I thought I would be accused of being a sexist pig, so I refrained.

I was going to ask Noora if she has a veil on the lower half of her computer screen when talking to us guys.

But I figured it may get me into to much trouble.

Ben.

Ps. yes, thanks .

She could have done worse..she might have stumbled into a National Action forum. Nope shes done pretty well stumbling across this forum and the top notch woodies that populate it. We just have to get her to convince her Dad to build her a workshop and buy her some tools.
