Yes, I assumed that as well. But now what the bloody hell's a DFO?

A "Direct Factory Outlet" if it's the same as what we've got up here. A supposedly cheaper shopping centre, 'cause they cut out the 'middle man'. Female shoppers heaven - the reverse applies for men.

its not that bad, cept its a maze that you have to walk all the way through to get out again. not as ikea though

Sun Sparkz - around here, we are only allowed to catch Fresh Water Crays in the months with an r in them. I've never heard that wives tale afore.

Ohhh I love love IKEA, but youre right Kagen, its a bitch to get around...so glad they have lil arrows to help out bewildered shoppers.

Chaddies good too, but DFO takes the cake.

Hagar - My ex loved shopping with me, and he actually had a decent opinion when I asked "does my arse look big in this??":p

Up here, months without an R tend to be the warmer months, (may, june, july, august for those of you w/o a calendar handy) in the days prior to refrigeration (that would be 1995 in Australia, right?) shellfish didn't keep so well.

version two is that is when we get the red tides more frequently making the shellfish even less kosher than they are to begin with.
