Mel's Mortgage

Every week we put a little bit more money into our mortgage in the hope that one day we will own our modest piece of land and the home in which we live.

I don’t know that it’s quite that way for Mel Gibson.

According to an unknown source reported in a Fiji newspaper, Mel Gibson is considering buying a Fiji island. Apparently Mel was flown by helicopter to Mago Island which is on the international market. Mel, who was visiting Fiji, couldn’t be contacted for comment.

The Island is being advertised at almost twenty million Australian dollars. Of course that would be the price of the island itself. I’m sure that Mel would then have to put a house or two on the land.

According to the advertising agents, the island is fringed entirely by protective reefs, “powder white beaches” and “turquoise lagoons”. Sounds lovely.

I’d jump in ahead of Mel and grab the island myself, but I’m having enough trouble keeping our little garden under control. I don’t think I could manage an entire island.

  • you don’t know me, so don’t be weirded out. i found your blog when i was just surfing the blogger world by clicking next blog. you have a creative blog and a nice layout.

  • Thanks for dropping by Rico. I hope you’ll visit again soon. Thanks for your kind comments.

    Hey Joshua – I put the banner add together myself and used some of the credits I’d built up towards getting it displayed.

    For every 2 Blog Explosion blogs I visit I get one credit. One credit means one visit through Blog Explosion surfing or around 20 banner ads. It’s all free so I thought, why not?

  • I was in love with Mel Gibson as a teenager… Having an unnatural obsession, I was intent on meeting him. I knew I should have tried harder! πŸ˜‰

  • Ah yes Amelia, maybe you should have tried harder. But to get to his island you might need to take a boat, and I know how much you’re into boats. πŸ™‚
