Coupla hours mate. The last 30 miles (that's what the signpost sayed - honest, didn't it Tony ) is single lane bichamen (sorta) with the odd cattle slower downer (grid for you'se city slickers).

Garn Terry, you'll have a ball.

I was on the airline payment page. Twice.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda, didn't.

With this McNot comet in Melbourne and what looked like a great IISAC, thanks for depressing me even more

Thread locked. I never want to talk about this again. It's just too heart-breaking. :/
