Re: Off Again
Hi Lou.
Glad you enjoyed yourself with the family, I know what you mean about Dunedin, there was always something about the place, not forgetting Ducky's.
Cheers Des

That's rather nice Lou. As for Dunedin, it was always a good friendly city. Except the time I missed the last train to Port Chalmers!!

Re: Off Again
Lou, time with family is always of great importance and no nicer place than Aukland to spend your birthday. Dunedin is great, when it is not raining or cold. LOL
Happy daze John in Oz.

After spending a night in the local lock up, I never really liked the place.
Sorry Lou.

Re: Off Again
Den, you never struck me as being the sort of guy who would spend a night in such a place, but then again whatever turns you on I guess.

Just in some cases they didn't turn out as expected!!
