Details of her disappearance are on this Facebook page, or at http://www.australianmissingpersonsregister.com/Keem.htm Please call crime stoppers if you have any information realting to Lisa's disappearance 1800 333 000. Thanks, sorry for posting this, but if it helps get her back...

Yeah I just saw that Mika mates thing... who knows with Channel [V]. They are kinda kooky with some of their programming. Not complaining though! Max had the Later with Jools episode with Mika on a few weeks back, I recorded it on IQ, then in my wisdom deleted it. Not sure how, but it's gone. Waiting for them to repeat it now...

Hey guys, Just noticed on the TV guide that Channel [V] have a Mika concert on [V] Live, this Saturday at 5.00pm. It doesn't say what concert... last time they put on one from Brixton, but it could be anything. Enjoy. B. xo

Yeah, the red eye is the over night flight - you get off the plane at the other end with red eyes! Unless you can sleep on the plane, it's not very pleasant. But flying to see Mika's concert would well be worth it!

Usually about $99 one way. Cheaper during sales. They are red eye flights, but hey, it gets you here!

Keep saving!!! I'm trying to save for the move to London, but keep getting distracted by Gucci ballet flats or similar. At least tiger airways have cheap flights from Perth to Melbs now (dodgy, but cheap).

Think positive! He's probably just recovering from the ridiculous questions the Australian media asked him last time he was here.

I hope he comes before the end of the year cause my plan is to move to London in January... well I could always pretend I have visa problems and delay the move (or just come back for the concerts). We could do a "fanatics" version of the Ashes tour, but for the Mika concerts! A tour of duty around AUS. I'll arrange the tour t-shirt!

No, I don't think any Aussies are going. I considered going to Amsterdam, but I'm going to Costa Rica with my friends now instead I guess if you want to go, you should definately head over to the gig threads and start making friends with people that will be there Especially other people that are coming in internationally because you could stay and sightsee togetehr and stuff. Another option, but I don't know how your money situation is, would be to watch heart broken as the Europeans get their glory and save your money for a group stalk following Mika around Australia But who knows how long that'll be I suppose is was quite interesting then, what with the new paper shredder being such a highlight? LOL - a group stalk? Well count me in!!! Yeah, when is Mr Penniman coming back to AUS??? I was all prepared for an AUS tour for the V Festivals, but it was not to be.

Thank-you! If I end up going to that concert, I'll let you know, maybe I can meet you guys (I'm not too scary, well not scary at all. I think.)

Yeah I checked out the gig threads, there are a few tickets available...hmmm - do I spend all of my money to go to the other side of the world for a Mika concert. I think so! Happy Queens Birthday for all of you off work tomorrow...

I don't read the Aussie thread too regularly **apologies**, so sorry if I'm repeating conversations... but is anyone from AUS heading to the Paris concert next month, or to any of the other European concerts? I've come very close to just buying flights and going over (by myself, my friends think I've lost the plot over my Mika obsession), based on there always being a way to get a hold of tickets to anything, provided you have the cash. Was hoping to get some travel tips or find someone I could catch up with over there. B.

Rove was good tonight, the Hamish & Andy ghosting thing was hilarious. V. sad that Mika hasn't been in AUS since this time last year.

Ok, so I've made the random (and expensive) decision to see Mika in concert. Considering it is winter in Australia, that I haven't been to Europe before, and I missed Mika on his promo in Australia last year, I am pledging to make the pilgrimage to the other side of the world to see him. Does anyone have a spare ticket, I'd love to see the Paris concert, but I'd consider anywhere (after consulting an atlas). Let me know... B.

You should def go see Kisschasey!! I met the drummer at the MTV Awards a couple of weeks ago, and he is the coolest/funniest guy (apart from Mika... that goes without saying).

Nice to meet you! And THANK YOU for the happy sunday photo of Mika!

Thank-you! Sounds like someone speaking from experience!!! Am contemplating reading the instruction book so I know how to work this thing, but at least I've figured out how to access MFC and now, thanks to you, I can get my itunes back in action! Those are the important things covered off...

So I can ask you how to use the MAC??? I have never used one before, but randomly decided to buy one. Does anyone know how I can get my itunes from my old laptop to the new one??? I'm considering this matter a state of emergency.

Well, until today I only had internet at work, and I really had to tone down my internet usage...and well, I had to sacrifice MFC. SORRY!! So I bought a new Mac book yesterday, and it took me about 10 minutes to work out how to access the net (I don't read instructions). Anyways, I'm back to MFC!

Hey aussie thread... I haven't said hello since thread seven...so long ago...hope everyone is well! B xo

So, Channel V are the only Aussie channel broadcasting the Brit Awards - but they are showing it on March 13!! What the? If anyone knows if another channel has it on earlier please let me know! Nothing like watching something a month later... but it's another show to store on the Foxtel IQ. I can't yet bring myself to delete the Graham Norton Show or Introducing MIKA that I recorded over 6 months ago. Hope everyone is well.. B xo

Maybe I should write an autobiography? That weekend was the tip of the iceburg!!! To be fair, my life is a series of misfortunes that for some reason I (and observers) find very amusing. Other than last night *2am* convincing a complete stranger to drive me home on his boat (I was at New Quay and he was having drinks with his mates on his boat docked there - I live up the river a bit), this weekend was uneventful. Boat ride was fun, yet short, but I opportunistically by-passed walking through the park and having a go on the swings. Kept clothes on until well inside apartment (things are looking up).

So, seeing as how I've told the world about taking my dress off in my apartment building, I may as well give you part 2 to the story... the Sunday (a few hours after arriving home from part 1) Sunday. 24 degrees. 8am. Sarah & I drove to Portsea for a day at the beach. Stopped at Starbucks for coffee in Port Melbourne before the journey began. Walked to Bakers Delights from Starbucks for a chocolate croissant. Walked back to Starbucks for a second coffee. Drove to Portsea. Croissant and coffee made me feel sick (by-product of hangover from Westies and the fact that I don't like Starbucks coffee). Arrived at beach. Windy and cold, yet I still swam and managed to get sun burnt. At beach car park realised I had a grain of sand stuck on my eye ball. Tried removing with finger. Tried pouring water in eye, much to the entertainment of me and others (including a Tarago full of Japanese tourists) passing by. Sand still in eye. Sat in the front of Sarah’s car (convertible with the roof down) and Sarah tried to remove sand. Sand still in eye. Had no tissues. Considered visiting emergency room. Decided was not an emergency. MacGyver instincts kicked in and decided in lieu of tissues, to use tampon to remove sand from eye. Didn’t work, so Sarah tried using the tampon to remove sand from my eye. Guy driving past thought we were pashing and nearly crashed his car cause he was gorking. Sand eventually safely removed from eye (with finger – note: tampons do not work in removing sand from eyes), and am so far not noticing any permanent damage to my vision. Made it home without further incident, listening to Mika all the way.

For the record, I don't condone drinking, nor going on playground equipment whilst drunk. And the taking off the dress thing was because it was SO hot. And I was drunk. So please, all under-ages - don't follow my actions on drinking or undressing in hallways of apartment buildings!

Trust me, you have many enjoyable weekends ahead. My advice though is to stay away from the West Coast Coolers. Oh, and alcohol in general, come to think of it.
