  | PERSONALS Falling in the aisles There are still pleasures afoot in the Empire, however. Richard Herring, one of the British comedians invited to the Melbourne Comedy Festival, observed that a lot of his fellow funsters seem to be married to Australians they meet in the course of that merry month of April. Herring was in Bendigo only a few months ago for the wedding of Al Murray, the Pub Landlord; Simon Munnery is another; Ben Elton, as we all know, was one of the first. His theory is that Australian women are ``less wound up" than English ones, while the British men - and, to do him justice, he was a bit cautious about this - ``possibly seem more sophisticated than Australian ones". So, girls! Herring is 35, apparently solvent, Oxford grad, quite famous on his home turf and, I can testify from sharing a very long car ride, jolly good company. He also has a girlfriend, but Melbourne is clearly a powerful force for romance. I know this whole topic is a fave in-joke amongst most of those Brit funny people, placing bets on who will be next... So I guess its a case of "look out ladies!" hehe | ||

sadly Matt, I don't think so. You won't be trying to pass yourself off as British comic again, will you? Just because you have a UK passport it doesn't ... ummm... now that I think about it... what are my chances? hehe | ||
