You lucky dog, Machine. . . :Indeed Australia produces some very lovely women (red-headed and otherwise).

You're in England? I'm originally from England (Kent to be precise). I've only been back twice, since my family moved to Australia when I was 8.

I don't know if it's just me, but I just melt when I hear a woman with an English, Scot, Welsh or Irish accent.

Having listed all of my physical "fetishes", I would like to point out that my finance is originally from Vietnam (with a Chinese background, and Japanese looks). So no red hair, British Isle accents (or glasses let it be known), but I love her with all my heart. In truth, I'm inclined to call My (that's my finance's name. Pronounced Me), my "soulmate". [biiiig grin]

We met when I logged her onto the internet at the public library I work at.

She is a lot smarter than she give's herself credit for, she can speak Vietnamese, 2 dialects of Chinese and English fluently (I still have trouble with English [no no no] and I have only picked up the barest minimum of the Vietnamese language). [gulp!]

We make each other laugh, we cook for each other, we offer each other support when the other needs it, bounce ideas (work, study or otherwise) off each other, teach each other about our respective cultures and are happily making plans for our future together. The kisses and cuddles aren't bad either. [woooOOOOoooo!]

My's family are Buddhists (though My doesn't practice regularly), so when we get married (this December) we will be having a traditional Chinese wedding ceremony in the morning and a Western "civil" ceremony (in a garden) and reception in the early evening (it will be summer here then). :) [/QB][/QUOTE]

That's beautiful man. Congrats. She sounds like a sharp girl. Those are the kind I like too; girls that keep you on your toes. The only girlfriend I ever had; we couldn't stand each other at first. Then one night we were both plastered and she challenged me in front of everyone to a staring contest. That was it after that. I don't even remember getting to the bedroom. :lol:

So I wish you the best once again and no I'm not in England right now. I studied over there (and Ireland too) last semster. Back in good ol New Jersey now (hence all the obscure sports references you probably don't understand. Sorry) . Speaking of which, did England ever recover from that massive stomping your country's cricket team gave them? I mean that was just pathetic, and i don't even know half the game. [biiiig grin]
