etroup: JJJ avoid repetition?!
soozie: pooh bear..why arent you saying anything
lhucekb: saw you on saturday night...had a fucking ball you were incredible but were you supposed to turn up when you did or were you late?

Pooh_bear: i am a shy boy soozie
barry_bing: Deborah: It's great to see you back in .au, how have you found playing to melb audiences?
Pooh_bear: deb missed your concert in london as i was on way to turkey two days before hand!
Pooh_bear: how did the concerts go over there
soozie: Deborah.....how much did play while in London.
Deborah: the shows in London were sensational
Pooh_bear: u still there soozie
Mark: Staying in Oz for long?
Deborah: Mark, plans are fluid
soozie: Members of the Boonah Chapter of your fan club are wondering whether you still have photo's of their inaugural meeting and hope you have blue taced them onto your fridge
Deborah: hey i remember you
Deborah: u turned up at that show at Noosa
Pooh_bear: soozie want be at the show in brissie
soozie: yes......life sometimes is embarassing..especially when one wakes the next morning
lhucekb: stoopid question that i have been dieing to ask, from "Bitch Epic" does "DCN # 348" stand for deborah conway's nightmare?
Deborah: of course it does.
Pooh_bear: soozie have u still got the bit of ham from kelly's??
Deborah: what did you all think of the underground lovers ?
Bryan: Deborah: Why "Only The Bones"?
Deborah: as a title or a single ?
Bryan: As a single.
Deborah: ask michael gudinski his choice
Bryan: OK... but then why did you choose to redo it on 3rd Husband?
Deborah: cos no one bought Ultrasound
Bryan: :-( I did. And then I turned up to your gig a week later and you were bloody selling autographed copies... :(
lhucekb: i did!!!!!!!!! i love "3 love" so much....its even better in concert
Deborah: bryan, bring it to a gig and we'll personalise it and autograph it
Bryan: Will do. Thursday. :)
soozie: Pooh bear I would love to do Brisbane show but I am working in Malaysia....but I am hoisting 6 people to the Sydney show ....a sort of subgroup to the Boonah Chapter but based in Rose Bay
Mark: re staying is oz, special interest group of the willy festival, any chance for jan '98?
Deborah: mark, always happy to do the will festival, will be large with child, you bring the hot water I'll bring the towels
Mark: I remember last time!
soozie: Deborah......how long do you think you will be based in London
Deborah: here's a scoop for you all...
Deborah: baby 2 is due on the same day as baby one
Bryan: Makes birthday parties easier.
etroup: wow! time travel!
lhucekb: unreal!!! you gonna give him/her a cool name as well?
soozie: got any names ready for baby two
Deborah: re london, when they get rid of daryl somers
lhucekb: you hate d. somers??? could you be more perfect???
Deborah: no name suggestions please
soozie: I always thought you and he had a perfect connection
Deborah: actually we were thinking about calling the child daryl
Deborah: but we settled on Ozzie
Pooh_bear: some thing like Considerate Understanding Nineties Type you once described bert newton as!!
lhucekb: i imagine Syd to have a personality and a half...she a cool kid?
Deborah: yes
soozie: WASN'T THAT THAT COUNTDOWN BLOKE
Deborah: maybe it was
Bryan: Deb: A question about the album. I felt 'String of Pearls' and 'Bitch Epic' both had a definite theme to them, but not so much 3rd Husband. Any comment on this?
soozie: Why did you write such different stuff in London
Deborah: times were hard
Deborah: what did you think the themes were on the first two ?
Deborah: my 3rd husband's themes are sex, death, memory, and sex
Bryan: Well 'String' semes to have a lot about relationships - and how they can go wrong. I think Bitch's theme speaks for itself.
Deborah: we had to live without Daryl, without Kennett
Deborah: sometimes these things are more evident after the fact
Veronica: Deborah, do you think you will ever release in the US?
Deborah: god knows I'd love to
Veronica: it's damn hard to get your cds over here
Deborah: we wait to see if someone is brave enough to put it out
lhucekb: you gonna release a live cd like you did with "Epic Theatre"? if so will it be available seperately as well?
Deborah: what about over the net ?
Veronica: expensive, but the only real option
Deborah: you mean contractual obligation record ?
ronny: shipping from australia is expensive on top of over priced australian cd prices.
Deborah: veronica, you need a pen pal
lhucekb: you have a definite market in the states, i have mailed some to friends there and they loved it
Deborah: yankees, why are you awake ?
Veronica: What can I say, I'm a fan. 1:30am on a work night is not too much :)
Deborah: ooh, I am touched, have you ever seen me play ?
Veronica: sadly, no.
Adorable saus hi ppl !
Adorable: hiya deborah how r u today ?
lhucekb: hey adorable...

ronny: i've seen you twice. live at the wire performance at the virgin mega store in melbourne (you signed a cd for me) and at what i think was the cherry tree.
lhucekb: does it piss you off that annoying kennett lovers like tina arena shudders get so much air play
Deborah: YES !!
Bryan: Any prospects of a future collaboration between you and Tina?
etroup: does the pope wear a tall pointy hat?
Deborah: actually tina's husband used to manage me briefly

Deborah: max sharam, we don't know each other
