Re: Captain Kong
No doubt Brian will arrive with the next cyclone to hit the east coast may be some one should call the met office and ask it to be called Cyclone Brian or if has to be called a girls name the equivalent whatever that is. Should be a category 5 at least. Cheers John S. At present according to his itinerary he is in Panga Panga today feb. 1st. That is Samoa. JS

Re: Captain Kong
Re above, was talking to his friend Joe Finnegan last night, and he will be picking him up from his Hotel in perth and some time during his 5 day stay have asked Joe to have a BBQ here. He can if he hasn't got his computer then use this one, ((if it hasn't collapsed again). For those wondering he arrives back in Manchester on March 2nd. Cheers John S.
