@allrite@masto.allrite.at Sounds even funner when you hear how Jim Kurr (Simple Minds) pronounces it. Him (to the audience): Hello Breeby Island Me (in my head): (1) it's pronouced "Br-eye-be" island, (2) this is actually Sandstone point, Bribie is the island across the stretch of water behind you!
