Wolf Creek disturbed me.

Great film, but I'm not glad I watched it...

Ella

Hey you lovely Aussies! Been a long time between drinks but I'm still around...from time to time...floating. Life is quiet ethereal. *mwah*.

Latch

Nah, I did. Was PR for a year. Then decided I was bored and wanted a change.

I imagine I'll move back to Australia in a few years if all works as it should.

Ella

Yes mate...I moved in with him last November and all is wonderful. And no wedding bells for me...I'm presently finalising my divorce and will not be re-marrying. Ever.

Basically.. I'll ring you tomorrow.. I swear.

Meridae'n

So do you still have PR rights? Can you come back whenever for as long as you want?

An old friend I used to work with now owns a helicopter charter and flight training company
so I signed up for helicopter flying lessons (at mates rates, of course).
Hope I don't do a 'Shirley' Strachan.

Better cross buying pool acid off your "To Do List" along with a number of other activities...

Good to see you still around.

Stick

Robinson R22


Robinson R44


Bell 206 Jetranger


Robinson R22 $380
Robinson R44 $680
Bell 206 Jetranger $930

These are your ordinary rates for aircraft plus instruction.
I built his offices for him for nothing to help him get started, so he owes me.

thanks kostya....

funny you say that.. it was only a few weeks ago that i bought a drum of hydrochloric acid from bunnings on my company account to do some acid washing for a pool and concrete foothpath.... you dont think i did a double take????

if something even as innocent as this gets me doing a double take..and i have nothing to hide... i dont even quite fit the bill of what a middle eastern muslim looks like, yet i was still hesitant...its these sort of issues that really pisses me off to no end and hinders arab/muslim involvement and assimilation into the australian backdrop.

what is the price of freedom on civil liberties in australian and worldwide if people like me cant freely buy pool acid or learn to fly.....

still refuse to watch the damn show..but i saw a snippet of it when simone warne was on when i was flicking through..she didnt look like she was missing much self confidence. what a crappy excuse for a tv show...put some over the hill tv stars dancing and people are supposed to watch? ive got better things to do with my time than waste it watching people who cant dance...try and do just that.

Hey, Latch, what was the real reason behind your return to Seppoland?
Was it an angry Dad with a shotgun suggesting a wedding?

Dlishsguy - Of course you can learn to fly. The spooks are checking me out, the same as they do with everybody.
A mate of mine was in the Pommy army but because he has an Irish surname,
he wasn't posted to Northern Ireland - just in case he was an undercover psycho.
He wasn't complaining about missing out, but the stigma that was attached to his name annoyed him.
The moral of the story? Fucked if I know. Just don't let the cunts get you down, that's all. Fuck 'em.

I was planning to see that movie, Meri, as I loved the cartoon, but I reckon I may wait until it comes out on DVD. Shame, really....

The Australian National Handgun Championships are on over Easter, and I'm shooting in them.

I did go to the Handgun Nationals and came 106th. It doesn't sound all that good, but at least I'm a better shot than most people in Australia. (I say this to myself so that I feel better).
I made it in to the Reserves, too. (Combat Engineers).

My brother pulled the bodies of two friends from one of these, after crashing during a muster in the Pilbara, a few years back. Not pretty....


He flew fixed wing. (Low fly endorsed) His last plane was a Cessna 182.
(3rd plane after a 172, and a 140) Crashed the first 2.
Mind you.. the 140 was a flying brick....

We had some crap times around our camp fire.... over the years...
