No worries Brian, if I wasn't coming over this week I definitely would consider a road trip with ya, maybe next year? It aint that cold in Tasy, it just doesnt get that hot!
I also would like to catch up with Dave and see all the stuff he has one day! By the way Dave, hope been training in the table tennis department. U also should try and find a table tennis partner, me and the hookster are a formidable duo, particularly with a bit of alcohol skill enhancement, to be continued.

Chivs I like your somewhat elegant way of describing Tassie weather

, however anyone who has lived there knows full well that the weather is usually

atrocious....I'll go so far to say that I don't even know why you own a boat, let alone two!!
BUT, now that I have given you a pasting over the weather,

you are quite correct re the table tennis...during my nerdy years at college (year 11 and 12), rather than chasing girls, drinking under-age (I've made up for that) I chose to hang out in the table tennis room like a complete dork which did nothing to enhance my chances with aforementioned girls,

but it did endow me with Forrest Gump like ping pong skills...So look out potential table tennis partnerships in Nerrandera... prepare to be utterly, completely annihilated.

Oh, cheating is allowed isn't it? Bribery? Eh?

Just letting everyone know this is next weekend. Im still not sure if I can get up there. If I feel better Ill go without a boat.
Im too scared Ill get stuck on the side of the road and wont be able to sort it out.

Dave,
Maybe one of the Sydney Guys with a soft sprung limo can take you and boat up.
It will be a great event
