An Expensive Penny Well done Namibian on your blog paragraph, great start, an expensive way to spend a penny or should I say cent?
Barnaby, I too have had experiences with a bike that you brake with using back pedalling, it was an experience that I would care to forget and it was sadly at Dubbo Zoo! Mr KangarooJack and I both love the basque country, what a great place, but there were times when I thought I was going to starve, none of the restaurants were open at the time we wanted to eat!!
The kettle will always be on if you happen to rock up in the same town as us!
Happy New Year
KangarooJack

Pregnancy H Barnaby,
Is Namibian in Child, from the picture of him and little Dick, he looks like he is about 8 months on.
If he is we will go 50/50 on being his manager.
All the best Andy
noticed your blog noticing your comments on kangaroojacks blog i thought id check yours out and was drawn to two men without shirts so id thought id read on. havent got to the start to find out what your doing over there but i figure your driving a truck for a tour?
If I respond here, Mrs. KangarooJack, do you receive the message? This is a test email. If not, I'll email you...but of course you won't know I've just said that.. Erm,/(^*
Missing the cold weather.... Not! We are so jealous of you seeing Colditz, we wanted to go to Colditz, but never found the time, we used to like going to Austria, have you seen the Eagles Nest? Close to Salzburg, I guess you may go on tour there from time to time. Mr Kangaroo Jack says that Namibian should take your enthusiasm for getting out of the truck and seeing these fab places, he may feel healthier for it too!
We think your writing is superb and envy your indepth knowledge of Europe. We are fascinated to know where you originate from?
I just read out your blog to Mr KJ as he is driving, we are heading to Dubbo in New South Wales after finishing in Queensland for the moment, it is about 30 degrees outside today, the thoughts of Europe make us feel so cold....brrr.
We both laugh out loud so much reading your blog, it is so good.
We think Kendal mint cake is too sickly anyway, however perhaps you need it more in the cold climate!

ps when I am driving, my navigator falls asleep so I memorise the route that I need to take.
city, town and village in Belgium In Belgium, both city and town are translated to stad/ville (dutch/french). Cities have this status because they received city privileges during the middle ages. In practice this was the privilige of having an own justice system opposed to having the landlord speaking justice. The list with cities was fixed in 1825 and didn't change until 1970. Since this time, municipalities can request to become a city by royal order if they either used to be cities in the middle ages but lost their priviliges during Napoleon's time or if they nowadays form an important center within their region. Hope this clears things out a bit :-).
Is it a city? I just came across your speculations about what makes a city. Having come from England originally myself, I also believed it to be a large, important town that usually had a cathedral and was the seat of a bishop and so was very unimpressed by many Australian "cities" when I first arrived. We do have capital cities with cathedrals, like Melbourne and Sydney, but we also have lots of other ones which are really nothing more than large towns. They have to have a specific population to qualify as a city but this seems to vary according to state. I think USA has a similar system.
I always associate villages with a village green (not always in the middle of the village, however). I expect them to be quite small, too, although many nowadays seems to have spread a lot with modern corridors around the original village (like Alfriston in East Sussex). We don't have villages in Aust. If it is only a couple of houses and a shop it may be called a hamlet but anything else is still a town! Maybe Belgium works on a similar principal
Keep the sales ideas coming! There is a lad who filches posters and then sells them on ThiefBay but I can't be bothered..
I'm amazed that you manage to keep reading other blogs! You post so much yourself, AND go out and get the material for the blog. Great. Long may the road trips continue..
I thought you'd like the tubby custard reference!
Hi Barnaby Just read your blog, excellent as usual, hey me and Mrs Kangaroojack came up with a brilliant sales idea for you.
Now me being a guy of 46, I remember Bon Scott, long before Brian Johnson apeared on the sean and as a young buck of 15 or so remember seeing Angus Young on Bon Scott shoulders at the Birmingham Odeon.
Any way back to business, I bet you could have a nice little e-bay number going getting the bands to sign CD's for you than flogging them on on Theive Bay:-0.
We are concerned about Namibians waist line, with the "Tubby Custard Reference.
Keep up the good work, we had a great journey the other day Mrs Kangaroojack was reading your blog out to me whilst I was driving, I, like you hate it, not the blog but the driving.
All the best from the very rainy Sunshine Coast

I am starting to have snow envy, looking at your blogs. Maybe I will plan a Winter trip to Scandanavia, to ensure I get plenty of snow. It always snows a lot in Winter there, doesnt it? It wont be this winter though. Maybe next winter. :)
Hi Kangaroo Jack in sunny Australia.
Ooh, somebody who knows a little of the industry, I see. Yes, Edwin Shirley Trucking is still going; they're the other big player aside from Transam. Edwin himself has had nothing to do with the company for at least a decade, but "You rock, we roll" are still very much alive.
A lot of our trailers are new. They simply haven't had time to scrawl "Transam Trucking Ltd" down the side of them all yet.
"Tubby Custard"! I'll pass along the message! And thanks for reading!
The blog so Far Morning Barnaby, well it is morning here in sunny Australia.
Love the blog, Namibian is looking a bit "Tubby Custard" tell him to leave the Chocolate alone.
Can I ask why your trailer is not sign written, is it new or is that a requirement of the music company.
Have been following your blog, for a little while, you write so well, though quite Sarcastically, and cynically.
Your photo's are really great, and we will keep reading.
All the best Kangaroojack.
Ps is Edwin Shirley Trucking still going.
