So how did you all put in your day off Ozpol yesterday.

All nervous and panicky racing to the PC refreshing the page.

Gardening ? Certainly not for me too blooming hot 34deg

Shopping at Harvey Normans or the Good Guys codsey?

Me, I had a longer than usual grand dad nap, went to the shed opened it for an hour or so did nothing and went and had another nap!

Glad you asked :)
Went on that Colonial Tram Car Restaurant (Melbourne) for lunch yesterday, and it was excellent service, food and beverage. The inside was very old fashioned, with burgundy coloured velvet drapes, and the old fashioned lamps had pom poms and ornate wood with gold etchings, and mirrors, I felt like I was in the 1800's. Going round the city sights for 3 hours. It's a real must do experience, highly recommended.
Was a present from my son and his fiance for xmas for us, and they came also.

I asked the waiter for a little history of it, he said the first tram car was done in 1983, for $1.2 million. We were on number 6, so I am assuming there could be 6 of them. There were 3 doing the rounds together for lunch.

Some of us have to work to pay taxes so leftards in this forum can get their welfare payments.

I work.

A good thing having the forum shut down for a day, it means the leftards who fritter away their lives on internet forums might do something productive for a change.

Happy to share the experience and info Cods, there is a afternoon round, and night time also.
Will have to do that night time one and see Melbourne city with all the lights :)

The lunchtime is $85 per head, but it's a thing you just must do, and, it is all you can drink. Some that know me think that's a waste on me as I don't drink much ;D
But I tried, I had 2 different white wines, a Tom Collins, and 2 baileys on ice, and an orange juice, and coffee 8-) I think I did alright! :)

Most definitely he would love it, and he will love all the juices and soft drinks they have.
Let him sit near the window, so he has a good view of all the Melbourne sites, you will go past Luna Park, so tell him to keep a look out for that.

I packed up the house for moving............. and hit the golf club for a couple of hours..... gotta pick up my game and get back to par on every hole... been a while......

Now then..... swing with focus on that ball and will it where you want it to go...... shut out everything and everyone else....... feel that surge as you hit the sweet spot...... and off she goes down the fairway to a chorus of 'aaaaghs'...... HTS did he do that?

Wait until I'm back in practice.... shoulda been a pro .. too busy saving you assets from yourselves for too long.... and from a heap of other miscreants.....

Ah. So you will know exactly the difference between golf and skydiving?

(Aside from that.....I challenge thee. Off the bat at your new neighbourhood.)

Ha ha - I walked into a skydiving instructor place with a lady friend once - spent about ten seconds strapping myself into the parachute gear..... and the lady friend who was going skydiving said - "You know how to do this!"

Airborne, son..... got the knees to show it.... used several different types of gear....

Around Bulahdelah - but let me get in a little practice first..... gotta loosen up those two busted shoulders, too.... takes a while...

Good Lord, aussie. Didn't you just publicly announce that you reported someone for this very thing? Tsk tsk tsk.

If Innocentbystander gets a ban I can only assume that you will demand one for yourself with an added extension for hypocrisy.

And before you wet your panties again about me/everyone reading all of your posts. That's only 2 ::)

I had a great break from here, study ( again) so boring- catching up on coffee etc. That was fun and researching for a book I am currently writing ( first paragragh down). The book is loosely based on me, so you know it's going to be a good read.

Let's stop dobbing on each other, that might be nice.
