Yes Geoff, something is meant to happen! We threw a BIG party for you and we all had a great time but you didn't turn up!!!
There were presents and a band and lots of good food.
Seeing as you didn't turn up we all took our presents back home with us. I got you a 1 year subscription with Aust Sky & Telescope for 2006, Toetoe got you an Illuminated Finderscope, Janoskiss got you some great Deep Space Photo books, Slice drove over from S.A. with an EP for you, Dave 47Tuc got you a really nice set of Binoculars etc. etc.
Too late now though. You will just have to get by on our best wishes.
