Your funny Chris.

It's going to a hot one, as usual.
So I shall just graze all day on fresh fruits and cold crisp salads.

Alas, I'm allergic to shell fish. So no prawns or muddies for me.

We've got friends coming over to our place on Boxing day and they own a fresh fish emporium.

We've been told to supply the salads and desserts and they are bringing the seafood.

Hey Trevor, you wouldn't want to lounge around our dam/pool. The Browns are usually cooling off in on a hot day.

Cheers

C'mon guys - enough.

I've deleted some posts from this thread. Keep your silly snide remarks to each other in PM or email to each other, not on the public forum.

Hi All,

Oooh Yessss! Now you speaka my language. Ooh Ja.

Ve haf der prawns, smoked ham, salads (grass food), lumpfish caviar, scallops, Prime Alaskan salmon (smoked) with capers. Mud crab.:family :

All of that needs a little throat oil. French Chapagne, Grolsch Beer, Imported Cognac, some weird liquers I've never seen before, French. Finally a choice of Dimple or Chivas Regal Scotch.

That's not all, for the harder to please; Bundy Rum, Four X and chicken or BBQ steak.

Blue Haven has promised that the pool will be finished before Christmas. That is a story in itself. I will start a thread on that. it is an incredible saga. AAMI Insurance came to the rescue. I was told that only AAMI would do it.

Cheers Marty

Woo Hoo.

Cheers Marty

Hi Matt, Claude & All,

Yes, there are spare rooms, you pay your transport here. The other condition is you have to teach me how to use my scope. Its a Celestron Goto 250mm Schmit Cass.

PM me if you want to meet us. I'm harmless ask jjj.

AND, I want to see aliens, or whatever. I focus on a star and it still looks like a star. EP's range from 4mm to 50mm and many are bino. Also have an inverter to spy on Lorrikeets nesting one klm away.

That pix of me. That is me at fancy dress 1980. I have aspirations to have skin that don't burn in the sunshine.

Cheers Marty
