Lou, how the world has changed. The Oz gov is still thinking about who should build the next lot for us. Congratulations on the cricket win.
Bit ironic that the winning runs hit by Elliot,born in Johanasburg and at one time played in SA.

Hi Lou.
I would like to send Tony Abbot [The Monk]the Library book I'm reading now 'Prisoner of the Japanese" Maybe he thinks they did as good a job of that as he said they did at sea.
Cheers Des
