Merry Christmas 2011


I'm sitting here and reading stuff from you mob on the 'Net'
Somehow you all are known to me (and yes, there's some I've met)
I feel your aspirations, read your hopes and trials and falls;
and know your journeys, like my own, will weather many squalls.

The Festive Season that we're in makes me reflect again.
So, my melancholy mood dictates that I take up the pen -
and wish us all a heartfelt Peace and hope that we recall
the object of this Season "Peace on Earth, Goodwill to ALL!"

Merry Christmas to ALL ...

from

Manfred's Mob.

And to you Mannie - I'm all for the piece of peace and goodwill

Manfred Goodonya cobber, I to am into peace and goodwill as long as there is a bit of here’s cheers as well.

Merry Christmas.

The Happy Chappy.

Sorry to hear that Manfred . Hope things improve soon.

Thanks for your interest and dedication and best wishes Manfred, and I think there is one thing all will agree with me ( makes a nice change ), you have done a fantastic job as APBA President for the last two years.

Enjoy your Christmas with the kids Manfred.

Funny how everyone starts telling you how good a job you have done when the elections are coming up hey Manny ?


Really mate you are worth your weight in gold and just lucky you are a decent sized bloke hey.


Merry Christmas Manfred.
