Happy New Year everyone.

HNY everyone!

Happy New Year to all.
Next time I talk to you, it will be from Melbourne. Moving house in a couple of days and start work in Melbourne on 16 Jan 06. Finally get to see some real football(Aussie Rules), not that cross-country wrestling stuff they play here(Rugby, League/Union).
hey, you're the San Fran dweller boyo, it comes with the territory. ;)
Let's hope it will bring happiness and good health.
I wish we could celebrate each day like this one.

Nah, just kidding. Great chance to throw stones at everyone now!
2008 did bring a win for Toro Rosso and our former Minardi team members.
...and a new President elect for the USA.
Still the bad things continue, too much war, too little tolerance for the differences which make our species special.
I get some inspiration from good people from all areas. I enjoyed a party with a group if Iranian and Iraqi students, and some of the re-thinking now taking place on the role of big business and big finance is encouraging. I'm reading Al Gore's book "Assault on Reason" which I find timely and insightful.
So I'm hoping for a good 2009, and hope you all have a good one too.

anyway, let's hope 2009 will be a good year for us all!!!
You got the 'flu but I got chikungunya the latest mosquito borne virus going round the world.
It completely knocks all your strength for a few days with aching joints and a rash.
Anyway we're over it and looking forward to staying healthy. I'm also killing all the blooody mosquitoes I can find. We have about twelve traps plus natural deterrents, plus cicaks, who do a great job but can't keep up with the demand.

Sorry to hear about your ailments, chaps. A nice lady once gave me a rash. Well, she said she was a lady. She had hair all down her back. None on her head, just her back.
Have a good one everybody. 2009 is starting out a bit scary, after 21+ years in the military I'm returning to civilian life at the end of January, and you civvies are a wierd and scary bunch I must say.
Will you adapt?
Do you have someone to give you orders?
Simon, I heard that went to see Cela Trams, and you obviously discovered her secret relationship to the bushy tailed possum.

Adapting to civi life is going to be the hard part. You all do everything so weird like, grow yoour hair far too long, you don't yell at each other, you answer back, comply with OH@S regulations, the weirdness just doesn't stop. You're all mad I tell ya.
What is all this teddy bear cuddling - tree hugging stuff all about????

My problem was finally moving the family to Canberra after 8 months of commuting. Thought I'd save some money on the moving by not engaging a removalist. Instead we did this thing where you hire a special shipping container. They stick it in the driveway two weeks before the move. You pack your boxes and fill the container youreslf. They pick it up and drop it at the new house. Then you unload etc.
The problem comes when you ignore the reality that your 50th birthday has come and gone and that shifting several tonnes of furniture and household effects (twice!) is more diffcult than in your memory.
Before you get the chance to celebrate that you have only paid a third the price of a normal move, she who must be obeyed has spent the savings and more on new furniture.
the horror...................the horror...............
