Vince is on the road and we are here talking about him among ourselves like we miss him or something. Lets think about that???!!!!

Well thankee Chris. I am sitting in Gelan's shop at the moment and I am thinking of all you guys. Have a 1100km trip this afternoon/tomorrow to get back home then watch out...I'll be back with a vengeance.

Bushy...Zeus is just letting you know that he loves you mate... AAAAACHOO.

Can't go for a beer with Gelan...BUGGER !!!...I picked up a bug a couple of days ago and like Cary's sneezing cows, I too have both ends working flat out. Next time I bring a stump and cooler full of beer with me.

Cheers, Vince

Sounds like a job for some Brandy!

Dimitri

Well now....Hi Guys....I'm baaaaacccckkkkkk

Had a nice drive down, left at 4:30pm, drove till 11pm...grabbed a coupla hours of Z's then drove the last 3 hours. Got to Mum's place and realised that the job was massive.

Spent the next 3 or 4 days cleaning up around the yard...didn't even get to the painting. After I had piled up all the rubbish, my youngest brother and I took it to the dump....over 600 kgs of garbage !!!

The young brother had arranged to have the lounge and hall floors sanded and finished with polyurethane. I spent a full day ripping up old carpets, linoleum and floor tiles. We moved everything out and waited for the floor sanders to do their thing.

Everything was running smoothly until my brother decided to have a "dummy spit" and went schizo. This is the second time he has done it to me...I wasn't going to tolerate it this time so I packed up, went to visit our mate Gelan, then picked Mum up and took her to one of my other brother's place then drove home to Brisbane...did the trip in one day. Mum is now too scared to go home alone...I have some problems to deal with now. I have my suspicions as to what his problem is, or caused by, but this is not the forum to air them, but I think one of his big problems at the moment is that he is a total control freak.

The old adage is sooooo true..."You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your relatives" !!

But not to worry...I am back home amongst loved ones and good friends in here, so all is good.

Saw a nasty truck accident on the way home. A B Double Semi (34 wheeler) had run off the road and slammed into an earth bank.
They had to cut the entire cabin open to get the driver out, which is bad enough, but the truck was carrying hundreds, maybe thousands, of cartons of beer...they were spread everywhere, over about 100m of road. Beer everywhere.

I knew that I had moved around a bit looking for a signal for the wireless laptop...didn't realise I'd actually ended up goin' bush.

Sorry tikkat old mate...didn't have a lot of notice myself, but I am thinking about going down again in the new year, so I'll let ya know then.

You talk about cows on green oats Cary...you should try working in a dairy after cows have been on kykuyu grass...and you are down in the pit with your head just below the row of "exit orifices".

Have a good trip Vince, and say hello to Gelandangan for me, even though he doesn't want me over at his place this afternoon.

I reckon Gelan would be more than happy and very proud to have any of us over for a BBQ and a few beers...he is one of the happiest and nicest guys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Brandy is good 'Mitri, even better for the tummy if mixed with a little Port wine.

Cheers, Vince

Glad you are home safe Vince.
See the photo of us squashing Santa?

Pity about that truck, are the beer in cans or bottles? if they are in cans, maybe we could salvage some
Hmm.. H-nut Beer Hunt 2008.. any takers?

Eric, pop in anytime. Make sure that you don't have tummy bug and we'll pop a few.. always welcome mate.. always!

Thanks for the offer Vince,
Mail order may be easier though or I can pick it up myself
I'm having my own 1st family Christmas this year
With the new addition Grand Daughter (6 months) At the daughters
In Ipswich so I travel between states a bit myself Vince.

Vince,

Glad to have you back on the air! It was getting about a quiet as a cemetary. Hope you got over the bug. Are you sure that you didn't drink some bottled water from Mexico?

Cary

Nah mate...no bottled Mexican water.

There is a tummy bug going around Sydney at the moment and it can be pretty nasty, depending on the individual's constitution. As a general rule my cast iron gut doesn't usually succumb to these type of bugs, but this one got through the defences. Some people have terrible vomiting, tummy (gastro) pains, diarrhea and it flattens them to bed for up to a week. All I had was the tummy pains and a big dose of the "squirts". A bit like them bovine critters on green oats or kykuyu grass. Better than a colon cleansing that costs you hundreds of dollars. Just a few pains left now depending on what I eat.

Cheers, Vince

Welcome back. Glad you had a safe trip buddy . Sorry to hear about the problems with your brother I hope you get it all straightened out.
Joe

Vince I reckon the diarrhea is related to all the Brissy's flood water.. Cant be Sydney's fault..

Thanks Joe. I'm not really interested in getting it sorted outwith my brother. This is the second time he has done it...he don't get a third chance. I like to think I'm a pretty easy going, forgiving type of a guy, but what he said and did went right to the heart of my soul, and I will never forgive him for it.

Gelan...you are probably right mate...who knows what found its way into our water...that and I just haven't been drinking enough beer mate.

Cheers, Vince
