One of My Favourites

This is definitely one of my favourites. A set of 6 magnets which makes up one huge island:

So, how do I calculate this? One magnet or 6 magnets? One la, of course, since individually they do not make much sense; although it is carefully divided into Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and a combination of Victoria & Tasmania. Awesome. Now I can pass the pop quiz on Australia! Yay!

Barry Gibb. Barry Manilow. Oppss! Barry Island

Feast you eyes on the fridge magnets that Mrs Woods gave me:

This one, is from Barry Island. Haa... kalau tak tau kat mana, cari kat Google map. Or Wikipedia.

Cun kan? Siap ada dragon merah lagi. Or is that gargoyle? Nope, definitely dragons. Asal bukan Barry Manilow udahler. Tho I must admit that I do listen to Barry Manilow, and I bet I can still remember Read Them and Weep lyrics. hahaha

This is one of the rare ones that I did buy from a fridge magnet seller online. Not much story behind it tho.

That is the reason why, as much as I can, I'd like to not buy online again.
