    Not entirely football related, so likely to be moved by the mods, but just thought I would share my fab news with ya all.

    I have been offered a new job in Australia which I will be taking up in a couple of months time.

    Needless to say it'll be tough not having PL footie on tap on me telly/computer, but I'm sure there will be many other things to occupy my time with out there, and the time difference means that I will be most likely watching any matches I can manage to find sources for at night time/early mornings anyways.

    Anyone else out in Oz who supports the toon are welcome to pm me any info that would help me to continue watching my beloved team from pastures new !

    I'll still be on here of course, so I'll have to edit me profile and possibly think of a new name.

    The weird thing is when I read your title I immediately started singing in my head "I'm off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of oz", then realised it was "we're off". Then I read your story and now I'm a bit freaked out that there was an element of accuracy in my thoughts.

    All said and done, good luck, and I think your name should be The Wizard of Oz!

    it's a great topic for a thread mate, really is.
    we're one big happy family on here and when a family member has a bit of good news we like to share.
    Best of luck 'down under'.

    A few ideas for usernames could be...

    Toon Skippy
    Tiote's Australian Cousin
    AUSwiedersehn Pet

    When I lived in Australia I remember them actually showing a few Toon games, really late though.

    Enjoy! :)

    Congratulations on the new job!

    ADVICE:
    Unsubscribe from the discovery channel immediately... and anything else that might mention man-eating sharks, venomous spiders/snakes, Australian Cricket... They're usually sensationalized nonsense...

    At least you'll never be short of Toon news with Not606

    Also, I vote for ACS 3rd name too! Class <laugh>

    Cheers for the replies guys.

    For those of you that have asked, I'm moving to Victoria state to a little town called Bairnsdale - its about 300km from Melbourne.

    I shall have to print this picture off and stick it up next to my desk in my new office.

    As for a change of name, I had thought about summit daft like Crocodile Cronemeister which ties in with my existing username, however I am drawn to AUSweidersehn Pet.

    Wonder if the Ozzie's would appreciate the banter from one of the main characters named after them OZ !

    Would go along with AUSweidersehn Pet myself. You could always take a DVD of the Likely Lads over with you to help you explain what you're talking about, although I do think the series might have reached Oz at some time or another.
