I think that no matter where we go in Sydney we're going to be up against the yuppie (or rainbow) plague. My question is, is the devil we know any worse than the one that we don't know?

Hey Rick & Ned,

apologies but will be unable to attend due to a clash of dates - will hopefully (health permitting) be attending the 48th year reunion of the 37th Rhoades Division reunion in 'Sunny' Queensland.

My apologies and hope everyone has a great 'run'!

Wisdom comes with age, sometimes age comes alone.

True. Pity about the heads though.

Anyone can be ordinary. Shipwrights choose to be extraordinary!

I thought that they had improved from earlier times?

If you want a dirty dunny, try the Pyrmont. My great grandfather would have drunk there and the toilets are so dirty l reckon you could find traces of his DNA still there from the 1800s.

I don't really care, but if we haven't made a date confirmation by ANZAC day, I will be booking accommodation for 1, 2, and 3 November.
