Had planned to all along, but got the go ahead today from the doc.

Still can't make the cruise, though.

Excellent Matey, ...now what about the Basin Trial and the early BBQ at RANSA
(brunch and yacht inspection,) before the cruise..? I'll then update the spreadsheet...!

Wisdom comes with age, sometimes age comes alone.

Sook??

More like bloody malingerer!!
Hides up there watching to see what happens down here and if it's safe to come south, gathers up his courage (several cans of xxxx) and announces to all and sundry that now he's coming.
....and we're supposed to be rejoicing????

I'm waiting for the grand entrance.

Call us bloody sooks, will he.

This grand-standing has to worth at least a shot at the Lowenbrau.

We're a wake up to you, O'Keefe! This is going to cost ya!

Bugger off you sook Mexicans, I've got a light duties chit!

Will be at the basin trials probably about the same time as Shep, and also at the Rocks Run. Flying out of Sydney too early to make anything at Rushcutters, sadly.

Grand entrance Gordon? Would a tuxedo be enough?

I, for one, think that it is excellent that CJ is joining us. I take great comfort in the knowledge that we'll have some-one amongst us who has a down-to-earth approach to life, a person who is mature beyond his years, a person who can take control of a group of self-opinionated, argumentative old farts, and who will maintain an objective view at all times, one who is skilled with dealing with Police and other Authority figures.

I look forward to being led by such a person during this 2010 Rocks Pubs crawl. (I think)

I'll respect your 'Light Duties Chit' Seejay, but with all the serious
sucking up in his last post, I'm sure Pete will be happy to carry you around
from pub to pub...!!!



P.S I have 'PM'd and/ or e-mailed all the '???' above so I can wrap up
the spreadsheet once and for all...

One more thoroughbred and we'll have a Melbourne Cup field.

Who, me?

What are you up to, Weyling?

As with all officers, CJ - requires guidance of an NCO to survive....
