... Ohhh, sorry Marty - fixed it! Youse Martys all look the same to me ...

It's the shirts MartyB, so easy to get em mixed up!

Maureen thats exactly what I thought when I saw the shirts.


Looks like Neil was having fun anyway.


Bob

It was the blue stage lights in a blue tent you fools. All three shirts were different colors in real time. And the shirts were irrelevant to the show. Thanks Marty P., YOU sir are a champion! Thanks for the friendship and entertainment during the best muster ever!

Neil

I think the comments about shirts were just a bit of jokey ribbing, responding with " you fools" sounds too harsh to me.

No I thought it was fair Neville - but youse fools would have been more in keeping with the country and western theme, so I take it Neil that if you stand under a red light you would all be rangas???

And how does that work??????. eg if you had a red shirt on under a blue light it should look purple
a yellow shirt would look green and a blue shirt would look blue, Oh I think you are messing with my head

Ha ha. Mine wag actually grey Maureen, Marcos was green. We had colored light going on all morning. Lol

Lighten up Neville, you fools is a term I use regularly and on stage. Polite Aussie term of endearment. My sense of humor didn't fit here without criticism, which is why I rarely bother posting here anymore. Just wanted to let you all know how well Marty did in front of the greatest poetry crowd in Australia, bit alas, I tale my leave again. Bye you fools. (Neil madly walks into the sunset cackling uncontrollably)

Oh Neil thats the first time I've heard you use such an endearing turn of phrase and we gratefully accept your compliment.

Beats being called a Wa oh hang on can I say Wanker Heather ?????

Had some people through the park today who raved about the poet at Charters Towers. Have you moved somewhere else Keats ?????

See ya Bob

Having met Neil, I knew he was joking when he used "fools". Maybe in future Keats, you put a smiley or laughing face after such terms of endearment and people will be able to "read" you better! Dead pan is hard to express in writing - or so I've been told.

Heather

You've got to see Neil on stage then Marty and then nothing would shock you.

Aaah, there it is, the face for dead pan.

Hi Neil and Colleen! Hope you are travelling well.

Heather
