Agree with the drink but I will be on the white wine! And we will party with our friends. May even go on a holiday to Gold Coast before we do anything else.

May change once we get there but the drink won't!!

Can I have some jeans please! My old ones have finally ripped after 6 odd years. Best jeans I ever had - better than Levis or Wranglers. You can use that statement in an advert if you want - as long as I get some of the royalties.

Thanks Anthony, but on second thoughts buying jeans over the net is a risky one seeing as I'm choosy about styles etc. also most styles never seem to do my snakeskin boots any credit.


Will get back to you if I change my mind. Better still, we'll probably be near Noosa sometime late 2004, so maybe we could do a deal then.
