"...this young slapper in a souped up sports car..."
Andy it was probably a footballers wife - Premier league of course. Am sure the wholesome TUFC lads have lovely WAGs who are all good drivers! (£)

Hallelujah! Drivers who give you the irrits are not restricted to Oz-land after all! ...You need to change lanes, see an appropriate-sized gap in the next lane, indicate with sufficient time and just as you move to merge, the stupid eejit in the next lane speeds up to prevent you merging in front of him (sorry chaps -it is usually a him). What is the point?! The eejit gets to the next stop light 5 micro seconds before you? Makes him a winner then? Grrrrrr

Aussie ma-ate, Melbourne is a great city. Football Mecca as you know! At least you are not a Collingwood supporter. Hawks are acceptable. Sorry to hear about your back injury. Ice and drugs (not one and the same =D) should fix you. Hope you are up & about by Saturday for the next big win. Go the yellows

Probably costs about the same to get to Torquay from the channel islands as it does to Oz? Some good cheap airfares available....if you travel in the TUFC off-season, VERY cheap airfares to Oz (our Winter, but no snow or sleet). NZ is just a hop across 'the ditch' after that. (£)

Thanks for the welcome!
Poor Aussie...as along as he is just misplaced and not lost
Nice to hear Adelaide is of interest. Quite seriously, happy to show visitors around when you visit...wineries only 1/2 hour away and some nice breweries (Coopers) too. Please be in touch if you make the trip. It doesn't need to be too expensive Scott, but the long haul flight IS a pain in the backside (literally).

Looking forward to Saturdays' game. Another win on the way to the top. COYY!!

Hi All
Did a quick post after the sensational win on Tuesday and in the excitement of the moment did not do the etiquette thing and introduce myself properly. My thanks to Southampton gull for a lovely response BTW.

Have been a TUFC supporter since a visit in 2004, and finally got around to joining the forum late last year. Too shy to post until this week. One side of the family is from Torquay (about 100 years ago) so I feel I sort of belong? Hence the 'Heritage' moniker. We all live in Adelaide, South Australia.

I'm a Sports Dietitian, so if the lads need some nutrition advice from afar, happy to oblige. I have worked with footballers here in Oz, but wrong type of football for your liking I suspect. Not sure how long distance nutrition would work anyway.

One question...is Aussie really a (misplaced) Aussie?
Cheers to all at TQ.

A big THANK YOU to all on this forum. Following the yellows from down under. No TV or radio coverage, so got up early this morning (Oz time) to follow the game on a your forum. WONDERFUL result. EXCELLENT commentary. COYY!!!!
