Hi

We accept he is Australian as we accept lots of unpalatable things here like Dingoes and Germaine Greer (although it is true we exported her to Duxford and I attribute that to the recent decline in the whole tone of the place) and I can hardly wait to see how he handles a winery – Spit bucket and all!!!!

Important Note:

The London Bar is actually on Wellesley Street – sorry Steve, I got my streets muddled, it has been 14 years since I lived in AK.

The bar’s entrance is just around the corner from Queen Street, right opposite the Civic Theatre (the old one with the tower clock thing). The entrance takes you past a bottle store and up stairs to the London Bar.

I hope no-one gets lost (till after the boose session anyway!)

Oh James, you’re just showing false bravado so the Aussies don’t eat you alive…

Have you been telling everyone, in your best Oxfordshire accent, how you’re really Australian?

then Melbourne to check on Mr. Tweed (a most excellent designated driver, as he only drink tea).

Right! For that you are funding the Victorian method Champanoise winery stops, between Wangaratta and Tyabb, and THEN you are driving us all home. Tea. Pah. Finest fizz for me chappie. Cheek! Or we’ll leave you for the redbacks, staked out on the salty side of RAAF Point Cook.

Yanks. Mutter, mutter mutter…

Hi All

You ain’t getting me anywhere near that damn bungy thingy – with all the metal and plastic in my legs I reckon only about 10% will come back up again!!! If Mr Patterson is looney enough so be it but frankly I would rather ride the Titanic or eat a rabid Rat!!!!

We are going to talk him into a bungy jump here in N.Z…105 metres, so not too high. I assume he will come up with some excuse about an arm injury, but we can always tie the cord around his neck to allievate any ill efect on that area 😀

Dave

1. This ain’t my first rodeo…I’ve bungy jumped before.
2. I flew the L-39 today, and the shoulder is just fine.

Thanks for asking.

Just like WIX, you have to link to a URL.

Setter put me on to photobucket. It’s free, and you can upload and link all day long. I guess the web master is still working on the uplink fix for photos.

Isn’t it great how you can’t count the prop blades when the engine is running!

Now there’s a funny thing – you say not too high Dave. I broke my back a few years ago (mountainbiking) and just last year visited Wanaka & Queenstown etc. Amongst other things visited the guys at A J Hackett in the Kawerau Gorge and asked them if I could jump. They said, yes, but see your Doc first – but also, they said the higher the better if you’ve got any concerns. It’s cos of the longer elastic – makes for a longer stretch which in turn makes for smoother and less radical deceleration. So SRP, insist you go high! AJH – 147 metres.

Auckland Feb. 11-13. Contact Setter or Dave for details. Vintage airplanes during the day, drinks every evening. On the 11th we’ll be at the Hyatt Regency Auckland (Cnr Princes St & Waterloo Quadrant). The 12th is another full day of vintage aircraft, then I believe The London Bar, on Victoria Street. The 14-15th we’ll be on the South Island (Blenheim and Wanaka), then off to Melbourne to check on Mr. Tweed (a most excellent designated driver, as he only drink tea). Two or three days around there (Wangaratta too), then off to Brisbane (I’ve got a secret meeting with Oscar Duck to get some more information on TBMs for Mr. HP).

OK, I’ve left plenty of stuff out, but you get the idea. Send a PM and join the circus. Who knows, you might even get a t-shirt!!!

Steve, stay away from Tamworth on your jaunt to the UK, would’nt want you to be tempted to take a run down the slopes in the SnoDome while you’re there (the upstairs is based on an Aspen ski lodge)…I boarded it a few years ago without injury while friends had a few pints…so STAY away, I say…or if you DO go, have the red wine…
