Well they probably shook the package Noel you remember how it goes and then it started to cry and well what can you do??? It's impolite to return gifts

Hey Marty you found a computer! Happy Birthday. Choccies all melted yet?

Yeah I bet they did wish they'd sent it back. Down in country Vic with the folks and it's just like FNQ - even just had a mid arvo thunderstorm so humid as buggery, steam comin' orf the driveway and my complexion feels right at home.

Thanks all for the birthday wishes - guess I'm a (sort of) old bugger now -

Cheers, Marty

ps. Hey Pacey you're way too bloody ancient to know about cougars, mate - stick to Granny-gropin'

Yep, storming here too. spose I'd better get off this computer. I'd hate to lose that "B" poem I've been working on all afternoon..

Life begins at 40 Marty! (Really it does)

I dunno how convincing that sounds Heather . . . it's still too early for me to tell - just starting to combat a hangover from the "30's"

Happy Birthday mate. Bit hard to compete with the 'big day' for your birthday. Yep, that Boxing Day Test is a very Holy Occasion. All the best to you, Roo and the kids. Hope to catch up again soon. Gotta go and start emptying this esky until this unusual Ballarat storm eases up.

Cheers

Best wishes on your big day...
