Yeh taken the suit back ...wanted to buy one but it was hard to find my size without tailoring = big bucks = less new telescope ..so off to hire a tent

The awards night will be a major feature on Catalyst 8.00pm ABC this thursday if you are interested.

Didn't know you were the bouncer on the night Mike. Couldn't they get anyone else?

Nice to see you in a suit. I always say a man needs a few suits and they should be worn on significant birthdays, weddings, funerals and important events.

Congratulations on the win mate. Well deserved.

Well I was treating it like the DM awards. Every prize is a win. Bummer about losing the camera. What camera?
