Last I checked NZ is in the same continent....
Or have I missed some form of irony?

I will be there Fri, Sat night, and Sunday, but have a conference 0900-1700 on the Saturday. So if you have to reserve anything during that time, it's n-1.
Looking forward to it!

Re: AFF Gathers: In Melbourne!! [1-3 August 2008]

I think I already mentioned it, but in case I didn't, unless there is a change in circumstances, I'm a non-starter for Saturday dinner.

PS: Re NZ - we were taught in school that Australia was the world's largest island and the world's smallest continent. Which leaves NZ continent-less (or incontinent if you prefer ).

Well there you go, I was wrong...it's been a long long time since Year 10 Geography (seems I etiher didn't pay that much attention or my memory is failing )

I'd better look at flights and accom before too long (goes off singing a Paul Kelly song)...

Actually I think you'll find a few schools of thought out there on what constitutes the 7 continents, including one embracing Oz, NZ and SWP as the continent Oceania. What's the right one? Who knows?

But the urge to call NZ incontinent was too strong.

There are various schools of thought as to the actual number of continents. It ranges from 4 continents to 7 continents and varies depending on where you live or where you went to school. What's the right number? They are all right!

Thanks for the thought Lindsay! As for the rest of you I will resist the temptation to comment further
