Doesn't look like re-incarnation has been kind to you this time.

I have been very restrained up to now...but PLEASE...don't spoil the OP thread with comments like this. It's their party and they deserve to enjoy it.

I will be posting my "ceremony thread" in a few weeks. I'd like to think that I will be able to enjoy it too. Australia has done a lot for me...but then maybe that's because I have done a lot for Australia (or my little bit of it) by joining in.

If you don't like it, start your own thread.

Thank you.

You can't control the direction a thread takes just because you don't like to read an opposing viewpoint.

Besides, If you read my earlier post you would realise I was being tongue in cheek.

Life's short. Don't take it too seriously eh.

Fair enough...but seems I'm not the only one who misunderstood you.

That's what happens when people try to read too much into things.

Obviously a tongue in cheek joke is lost on you... I would have thought the smilie face would have highlighted that I wasn't being serious.
