Now I remember why I decided never to bother again

I will be targetting different timezones and any friendless souls in Oz that are either too ugly to go out or are in prison.

Edit, cancel that ... "This poll will close on Dec 31st 2010 at 7:34 am" ... 7:34am?!
This ugly one will be around!

The poll closing time is based on the time Alfresco set them up, which was early morning. Have to do your canvassing tonight instead!

Sleeping, same as every night, until some totally pi$$ed half wit starts honking his horn and waking the neighbourhood. Seen one firework seen them all I reckon.

Enjoy the date Sas, hope it is a good one!

The fireworks in Sydney Harbour are spectacular, trying to get home on a train isn't.

A few years ago I went to a hotel in Darling Harbour with my friend and we watched them from the verandah and then drove home much more civilized.

We're still undecided. I asked the kids what they wanted and they said they'd like to go. Tempted to just drop them off at the railway station with their cousins

Personally I'd rather go next year instead and do it in style or maybe camping on Cockatoo Island.

SIL said the same. Thanks, will do.

Got the feeling that tomorrow we'll all be going there. It's kind of the same feeling that I have when threatened with being reluctantly dragged along to one of OH's friend's weddings

Ach, like I said above, you have to do it once

We'll be out of town for the night, but not far out of town. Allegedly we will be able to see the fireworks from the restaurant at the place where we are staying.

Nine years ago tomorrow, it was a very hot day here. For some strange reason I remember it well

Think it's forecast to be pretty hot tomorrow so be sure to wear hats and sunscreen if you're standing around for hours, won't you?

Happy 9th Anniversary for tomorrow! Don't the years just fly by?

If we go we'll remember the hats and sunscreen, thanks. ...And the mozzie stick
