oh yeah Dave.

My little sister is going to Melbourne to see our first final. I have never seen a final in my life, and I'm kind of jealous... but, her absence for a few days will ease the pain a little ;)

I love my brothers and sisters :)

Stui mate, you've really become a star around here.

You're a bit like Buckley in his early years, omnipresent, and adding class to everything you touch.

Too bad your a %#$ing conservative pr&#ck. :twisted:

BTW you're almost exactly right in your description of me in that other post. Slightly more than a touch of anarchism, but pretty damn close!

Thanks you very much. Don't know if I'd call myself a star and the "omnipresent" bit would suggest that I have way too much time on my hands ATM, but the bit I bolded?

What can I say.




You got me. :wink:

I did an interview with Today Tonight to highlight the lack of public transport in my area. A 40 minute car trip to town takes at least 1 and 1/2 hours on public transport. Should be on TV in Adelaide this week, and I really hope it helps to get an express bus to the city from Seaford (SA).

I spent half the day installing a CD player and speakers in my Sons ute. Not finished yet but got the wiring done.

Haven't sworn so much in ages. XD ute with the interior from a later model Fairmont Ghia. Had some kind of sound system in there once by the look of it but once I got enough dashboard off to start digging there was friggin wires everywhere that went no where, nothing was colour coded properly, nothing fits properly, the hole where the CD player is going to go is a cavernous crater with no support and I spent ages with a circuit tester trying to find a continuous power supply and one from the ACC.


Had a bloody ball. :D
