Hi Folks,

Penola is a small country town in South Australia very close to its border with my home State Victoria. The town has been in the news world-wide lately, or at least in the Roman Catholic world, where a couple of weeks ago in the Vatican City Penola's heroine Mary MacKillop was canonised as Australia's first ever Saint.

The emphasis is on the second syllable and Penola rhymes with canola. Send your Penola limericks to me as PMs.

Thanks, Greg. I'll get one to you this weekend!

This one's going well with 3 good ones already and I've got one of my own that isn't too bad either.

Oh, you'll probably win again! I'll have to bone up on my Australian cities.

My unworthy and irreverent offering is on its way.

Mine's unworthier and irreverenter than yours, Proof! I was tired and needed something to get my brain going again, so I turned to this game. It didn't work. Still brein-dead...

5 received to date, but Proof's hasn't arrived yet. Whilst I'm sure it will be as irreverent as he has suggested it would seem that he is working on making it more worthy than originally intended.

Somewhere in the ether is my first lim, drifting through space waiting for salvation from some BEM.

I've sent it again, so let me know if you don't get it.

Are we on the home stretch yet?

OK - I will post the Poll tomorrow but one or two more would be good.

The Poll has been posted.
