Sorry for the delay in posting this game. We have had our son and his wife staying with us for 3 weeks, which culminated on the night before they left to return to China, with my son and I reliving a 1989 memory when he was just 11, and I took him to a Bee Gees concert at Rod Laver Arena, where he became a life-long Bee Gees fan. Only one of them left now but Barry Gibb was always the main star of the show and he hasn't lost it. A very entertaining night, with some shared memories of his brothers, and he was joined on stage at various times by his son, and Maurice's daughter.

With my son and his wife over from China how could I go past Box Hill, an eastern suburb of Melbourne. There could be an interesting rhyme or two there if people choose to rhyme both syllables. I grew up not far from there and it was a typical Melbourne Eastern suburb, inhabited by white Caucasians, of mainly British descent, with a smattering of Greek, Italian and various Asian nationals, but now you would swear you were China. The shops that don't have dual language signage, only have Chinese signage, and the British descendants like myself are few and far between.

Send me your limericks by PM

Your son is 135? Good heavens! How old are you?

(I am however pretty sure the Bee Gees were around in 1889 Smile)

Like your sense of humour Bob. I have fixed the typo now.

Actually the Bee Gees, left Australia to make a name for themselves overseas, following in the footsteps of The Easybeats (Friday on My Mind), in 1966, when I was just 13. Shortly after their departure Spicks and Specks became there first big hit in Australia.

I've only now seen it. What's a Bee Gee? I know about Gee Bees http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gee_Bee_Model_R But not the other way around. Do you Aussies fly backwards? Is that it? Big Grin

IS Box Hill where they made the caskets for Boot Hill? Do you have any besides Kalleh's and mine? Surely Proofreader has entered six of them all by himself.

I could possibly have a chance at getting a vote in this one.
