Hi Bob, I just went out to Yeppoon and saw the signs. I might have a cooee and see what I register on the richter scale ... I hadn't heard of the husband calling before!

See you there!

Hahahaaa Zondrae. Somehow, CoooFrank just doesn't have the same ring to it! And it's usually more like, "HOY, FRANK!!! Your dinner's getting cold, if you aren't up here in five minutes, I'm putting it back in the fridge!"

Personally I would think thong throwing would be the most challenging. If a stiff wind is blowing they are likely to blow back and wrap around your face or perhaps just end up around your feet - in which case it would be best ladies to just step out of them gracefully and keep walking as if nothing were amiss. :o :o :? ;)

I missed my calling before with Husband calling - and I am not up to the challenge this time Bob. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Did my slot at 10 am this morning now got to sit and wait for the judges. Sat through endless performances of Belly dancers and dancing kids.

Little bit anoyed they told me six minutes per act and most were going out to 15 and 20 could have used the extra time.

Gonna have a reat and head back over around 4 oclock for the judges decisions.
