I wouldn't really describe it as fun in the same way.

Have also done a lot of scuba diving on the GBR which is definitely fun. And hang gliding. And white water rafting, and canyoning. Hey, I'll try anything once!
Blimey !!!!

The only thing left for you would be Swinging in that town in the Netherlands...

Or maybe a trip to the antartic on the ice breaker.

Great night for us... just back from the Football at AAMI park... 18.5K people there. A very social outing, lots of outgoing females in our group hence we seem to know one hell of a lot of people at the ground.


Cant wait for the finals.

LOL.... Had to leave our younger ones aged 40ish down at 9T4 Swan St in Richmond annoying the disco heads that are supposed to take over at this time of day... a real clash of cultures....MV fans in celebration mode v the local trend setters.....I think the MV fans are a tad louder.

Must take some photos next time around.

I can imagine the scenes, I'll put money on the MV fans to win the battle

I will content myself with watching James Bond with a drink or three (again) and preparing myself for sporting exploits tomorrow.

It would be nice to play cricket with 10 like-minded others but that doesn't seem to happen much this season, must get myself more female friends and therefore potential players

We've got some good ones... hopefully we'll get up to Brisbane enmasse one day... I'll definitely invite you along if that happens

Sh!te - got called into work for O/T this morning so left the young spark at home with instructions to stay tidy cos of viewing. O/T cancelled after a couple of hours (still get paid for 4 so not too bad) and get home to find we didn't have another viewing. They were late and agent decided not to wait or come back later and told young spark not to let them in if they turned up so when they did about 40mins late, and he didn't let them in.

So not sure what to do - waiting for agent to call me back. If they weren't getting viewings, I would switch or maybe reduce the price or something, but they are booking lots of viewings that are no shows, cancelled later etc. Very frustrating
