Location: New South Wales, Australia | Caught up with Muzza last night and had a great time. He had to come a long way to get here and it was so good to meet him and his family. Unfortunately my little village turned on the coldest night we've had here in years but it was warm enough inside with good company and good music. Hopefully I'll be able to get up to see him sometime soon and we can do it all again.
It's a bit of a nerve wracking thing to do...to show up at a stranger's house and feel comfortable. For all Muzza and his family knew, we could have been a bunch of axe-wielding, homicidal maniacs. It was too cold to go looking for the axe so no blood was spilled.
I've been trying to post pictures but have had no luck so far...I'll keep trying.
Thanks again Muzza, for a great night. Hope you had a good trip home. |

I've just got back in. 9 1/2 hours on the road. The kids and the unwanted navigator/driving instructor are all in bed and I'm heading there now myself. I'll put up some photos tomorrow, if any turned out OK.
Mate, thanks for having us. I would've thought it would be more nerve wracking for you and Donna than for us. It was your home and you were opening it up to total strangers. Like I said when we left though, it's like we've known each other for years. (Well, we have, kinda.)

I can't seem to get any new photos into my gallery. They download OK but then I'm told that the new album I have created contains no pictures.
Glad you made it home safely Muz.....did the power rangers show up? |

Location: New South Wales, Australia | Well, whaddayaknow...I feel like I've really achieved something. It's only taken me 18 months to learn how to post a pic in a thread.
Shame it's got nothing to do with the Aussie OFC meeting. I still can't get any of those pictures into my gallery for some reason. |

Try the new site. There's been some whining (in fact there is a group dedicated to that) but at least posting a picture is simple. Are you interested in a drive North to a Aussie gathering? We now see to have established that neither you muzz is an axe murderer. We also know that AJ didn't kill anyone in the US (well no one at the gathering). That just leaves me, and I know I'm not an axe murderer.  |

Location: New South Wales, Australia | Yeah Richard, I really want to get up there but don't know if it'll happen this year. My wife's brother is in Brisbane and we have to get up there some time to see him.
I had a talk to Muzza about getting up that way so I'll let you all know when it's going to happen. Makes more sense for me to come up there than for you Queeslanders to get down here.
It's a bit of a shame though that there's not at least one axe murderer amongst the Aussie contingent |

Catching up with Moody on Friday to pick up my latest aquisition.
If not I may be axing someone from Fedex.

Photos are coming. Can't find the camera. But I know its here somewhere.
I was thinking of phoning you and talking you through posting photos, (again! :rolleyes: ) but you can't phone and surf, can you. Then I thought that you could go to the internet place near the pizza joint, but you haven't got a mobile phone.
Have you tried the internet place near the pizza joint? It's GOTTA be faster than what you've got at the moment. I'm starting to warm to the new look site. Have you tried it again yet? |

A few years ago a talented saxophonist had a number of fingers chopped off by a group of thugs who thought he had stolen their drugs. Poor guy couldn't confess because he didn't know anything about it, so he lost a number of fingers. The good news was that an instrument maker designed a custom sax for him which allowed him to play without the missing digits. |
