Oh but I can assure you I am that, but I choose to live in an area that gets some sun, not up in the bloody mountains where you could freeze in summer.
But I fear some of the hot blooded Brazilians may not be so hot, they did not play very well with their balls today, the bloody Krauts beat them at it.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Hi John
Don't need to be too clued up to post new thread mate!
If you Click on "Forum Home" at top of any page,then select what Category you want to start new Thread ! eg. "Welcome 'PLEASE SAY HELLO' then when that Forum opens just look at top left where it says 'Post New Thread" Click on that and Wallah!!
That's it mate all done and dusted!
Hope this helps you and others !
Cheers
Just beat me to it Richard! Thanks
NB There is my contact below as well for anything I may be able to assist with,just Email me!

Re: Everyone
Hi Fans.
I am back after a week in sunny hot Fleetwood. Looking like a Bronzed Apolo with sun bleached hair like I was 50 years ago.
.I wish.
Had a visit from a good friend from Aitutaki in the Cook Islands.
Called to see William on Monday, just followed the aroma of his Brilliant Bacon Barms.
Very busy, so didnt stay long.
Cheers
Brian.

Re: Everyone
Oh dear, it is with some trepidation that I will attempt to follow the instructions of Richard and Doc, bearing in mind that my namesake had a couple of stabs at it before his success. I shall step outside now....... I may be sometime......

Did something similar John- switched to Chrome and after a wander round the site managed to locate the thread facility. Problem is , I've forgotten what thread I had in mind to post. Hey ho- sitting outside in my garden with a bottle of sauvignon blanc will, I'm sure ,stimulate the (very) grey matter.
