For the record. I'm a motorcycle salesman.

I have a nice house... Its no mansion but I can accidentally leave my wallet in my car and have no fear it'll be gone in the morning. Its an OK area and I've got enough space for my 40 x40 foot workshop, plenty of lawn and space for my kids (yet unborn/unconcieved :lol: ) to grow up.

I have a ford focus. Its 2 years old in Feb and I'll own it next Feb. Cars over here tend to last about 10-15 years before really needing major work. That I noticed in my recent trip to the UK is a big defference between there and OZ. 20 year old cars are common place here.

As far as gear goes. Well thats a never ending story that will continue for the rest of my life. Thats why they call it a "hobby"

Besides It's this or I buy a Nissan 180SX ex-drift car for a toy for a while.

I'm really light on for motivation to play at the moment. A mate of mine wants to start doing original stuff. Which doesnt bother me but all I want to do is gig, covers are the easiest way to get that happening. Thats my small rockstar dream.... It seems a little distant at the moment. :cry:

That's it -- I need to move to Oz! :o

Covers are an easy way to get gigging.  I currently play with a band mostly made up of people I work (or worked) with, and it started with a full set of covers (though some were obscure enough they almost might not have been).  UK audiences at least seem easier to please if you're actually promising nothing new! ;)  Anyway, we did a couple of gigs of all covers, then a gig with one original and started bleeding more in from there. Soon we had just one or two covers kept in the set for fun, but despite the band being, actually, pretty damn rough, we can still get gigs.

That said, while I think an occasional cover is fun, I much prefer doing originals.  After all, it's much harder to tell that you've f*@&ed up an original. ;)  I think of my main musical focus as being on composing and recording at home, and if I occasionally get to play out with one of my songs, then that's pretty cool. Small rockstar dreams are probably the easiest kind to handle :)

you live in australia where ther is plenty of land and so on.its not as dodgy as england as a general rule.i was over in cairns last summer and brisbane the summer before cos my sister lives in oz and thers a much more relaxed atmosphere.
so what im trying to say is if you think you want it,just get it.the spa i mean.if you dont you may realise later on that you wish you had got it.

changing the subject slightly my family are in the process of emigrating to oz.my bro is goin in september and i intent to follow a cuple of years later wen my visa stuff comes through

Australia is the greatest place in the world!!! Everyone should move here, if you can stand our accents.. and all the bogans.. and the stifling heat.. no but really, it rocks!  :D :D :D

And, jp, in answer to your question, it's not wrong at all to want a $17000 spa, it's only wrong if you buy it!

My mates moving back to Oz at the end of the month.  He was a bricky over there for a while and loved it.  Just over 18 months and I go over the trench to NZ.  But I'll go to OZ for a holiday.

As for the spa, for that money you could join my gym for 7 years.  But if your staying in the house, then it may well be worth it.

I have to admit, I don't actually know what a spa is...  :oops:

So maybe $17,000 is a bargain?

Is it ?
a) a supermarket
b) one of those gizmos that you dip your tired feet in
c) a metallic supporting structure, eg on an aeroplane
d) none of the above

yes I know, I have taken liberties with the spelling  :wink:

Hmmm, $17,000 doesn't sound like a good deal for any of those...

No really, what is it?  A conservatory with a jacuzzi in it or something?

If the house was larger and Jp. had more money, it could look like this. ;)
