I expect to be there, but not 100% certain yet. We have to re-organise some other stuff.

There is an appropriate Oscar Wilde quote to cover this.

‘There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.’

Having worked out what went wrong – this is Take 2

(Pity we can’t edit and/or delete posts in this forum .. it’d make things so much neater. It’d also remove a lot of the hilarity)

Yes I saw him briefly, maybe he is in and out.

If you are coming this way, be sure to drop us a line and we can make you a nice meal like we did for Divine Angel today. That was lovely.

No worries. I’ll pick you up at the airport this arvo. You can stay here. I’ll drop you at the airport on Sunday. Two drunken nights. You can’t smoke in the house, but we have back and front verandahs for social misfits like us.

It should be OK, Bob, he’s already coming down to Essendon.

Home safely. Thanks for the hospitality, yummy food and much loud laughing.

It was great to finally meet you, AwesomeO.

Have a great evening, the lot of you! I’m sure you will.

:)

Sorry Sibeen, you have lost your unique bragging rights.

I’m disappointed.

Silly String

I happen to know where Spocky’s Secret Silly String Stash is hidden.

Ah, I remember that stuff from the dim distant past. I could imagine spockie getting involved with using it and giggling uncontrollably both at the thought and afterwards.

Spockette and DA hosed me down with two cans of it a couple of days ago.
I looked like Spiderman had had a huge accident.

So, did Curve put in an appearance?

yes

Yeah caught up with Curve and some of the usual suspects, nice tucker and convivial company.

Interesting read terrifying trip back to Labrador. My dad’s girlfriend unsure about driving at night roped in a neighbour who seemed to be not only night blind, was unfamiliar with the roads and not used to the car or at least that was the excuse for the sudden brakings, uneven cornering unintended accelerations.

And for Bill the car company I was trying to think of was Bufori.

Some of the 1940s inspired roadsters look alright but anything modern the try has been hit by the ugly stick.

Yeah ….. the 40’s stuff is almost there, the curves at the rear don’t seem quite right to me and they persist with that grille for the front.
And those headlights in the modern stuff …… Do not like.

And so many. They either have a great customisable and modular manufacturing system or they are making work for themselves. And forget about creating an identity or design family. In my mind they would be better off on sticking with the roadster style, open and closed top and perfect that and work on some brand recognition.
