Just became a member

Louie the fly

Hi all. I finally took the plunge yesterday and became a member of ExploreOx.com. I've lurked on the forum for a while and only added something when I thought it was of value. Think I'll keep doing that. Lots of good stuff on here though. Anyway, we hail from the Adelaide Hills region.

And just by joining I got me 10 of those Megadraw ticket thingies (thought I'd chuck that in since everyone else is going on about it)

Cheers.

More South Australians, just what we need!

Seriously though more members is a good thing. I am sure you will enjoy the ride.

Keep adding stuff you think is helpful, or even just funny.

It's all good. Welcome aboard.

Hi Louie,
Your namesake got me into a bit of trouble at High School many years ago. When the first Louie the fly ad appeared on TV -early sixties- between classes, friend and I did the whole song and dance of the ad for class while standing on our desk. Friend saw our typing teacher coming and dropped into her seat, left me high and loud on my own. Teacher (Miss Cross) caught me and made me stay in detention and type out an exercise from typing manual 500 times. We had just started typing lessons so I didn't have a lunch break or leave school before 4pm for months. I wonder if I could sue her now for child abuse, hmmm?

I got the nickname from my uncles when I was a little kid. 40 years on and they still call me Louie ( Lou for short). Kind of got used to it and it's second nature now. I was going to change my middle name by deed poll to Louie but decided to change it to Danger instead. LOL

Cool name for a teacher, Mrs Cross!

Louie,

The great thing about being a member is that you don't need to add value any more, just launch in like most do. Seriously though, welcome, it is a great site.

Don't worry about the Mortein Loui, It hasn't worked for 50 years because if it had, Loui wouldn't be with us anymore pestering us with more adverts.
