    Dyson in thinly veiled "I'm going to Australia don't cha know."

    There's no way on earth you would have taken the advice on here as read without checking thoroughly through the proper channels. You little scamp.

    This my friend is where you are wrong. A mate of mine has got one, paid a 5er. I'm that tight that I don't want to pay that 5er. He says I do need one, the web says I don't. I wanted some other first hand experience and this was the best place for it.

    But I am going to Oz. Have that.

    Had three days on the Great Ocean Road after the 2006 Commonwealth Games. Drove from Melbourne out to the Seven Sisters. Stunning views. Stayed in a holiday let owned by Aussie tour cyclist Phil Anderson - he came over to see us from the farmhouse on a big quad bike, to see if we had everything we needed. Top bloke. Anyway, to answer your question, no fancy licence needed, just showed UK licence when we booked the hire car.

    Hi, just wondering if anyone on here had advice about attending a party at George Clooney's Italian lakeside villa whilst escorting Megan Fox and Halle Berry ? Flying there in a private jet.

    You don't need one, but you already know that because you've researched it.

    Hope you have a brilliant time.

    Has anyone any advice regarding rooting Keira Knightley? She's invited me round to her Mayfair pad tonight and asked me to bring a bumper pack of condoms.

    If you get up to Queensland it's a must to do Great Barrier Reef . Day trips on really good boats. Bar, food , etc and then you can swim in special netted areas with all coral fish . Water is really warm. Full day out, absolutely brilliant

    That's why you swim in a big netted area . You can also go on a boat with a glass bottom for viewing from the main boat. You can see sharks resting in coral on bottom
