By the time I get online, everyone's gone home |

Yeah, tell me about it.
Some threads have, like, 2 or 3 pages of activity while I'm asleep, and then maximum 1 page for the duration of my waking hours. Gives me plenty to read in the mornings, or when I first come online if the morning is busy, but not much in the way of company a lot of the time. We should fire up the barbie and waft some of the scents overseas. Who wouldn't wake up for a free sausage sizzle, I ask you?

Same here coming in from southern Africa -- but I do like waking in the morning and finding 10 hours worth of posts waiting for me to read!

Don't be sad! There are a few crazy Americans who sleep when the sun comes up and wake up when it's down. I make friends with people in opposite time zones easily. :P
...I need a job. x.x |

Would you hate me if I said I didn't like egg, IRU?
![]() I've recently come to enjoy bacon though. Maybe a piece of very fresh white bread, a sausage and a rasher of bacon, topped with Heinz tomato sauce and maybe a little onion (but only if it's well cooked - cold/raw onion ruins it for me). Mmm...

And yes, we do sangers.
Personally I think the word derives from taking the "wich" from sandwich and implying that witches go "ger". *nods sagely*

I'm not a cheese buff.
Basically, anything that gets nice and melty in a toasted sandwich is generally alright with me... Not that I've tried blue cheese... I don't eat cheese often, but when I make a cheese toasty, I usually use more cheese than is necessary. I'm like a binge cheeser.

Happy birthday to your son and I hope he is not going to have a 30-years-old-and-what-next crisis.
Australian brunches are terrifying. |

I remember that (as a Kiwi currently living in the US). i used to get up, read all new emails and posts, respond--then close the internet until the next day. Not a huge amount of real time interaction.
Maybe there should be an Antipodean Interactions and Party All Night thread?

Yep, yep. And I love cheese, eggs, and sausage!
