Re: We are sailing
I know someone who is married to one Cappy. Will ask her next time I see her. Ask her if she was White or Red and prove it. How do you suggest I do that, strip down maybe. She might then get her Balasaka or whatever they call them out and crown me. JS

Re: We are sailing
Already started on the beer, the two bottles of rare Johnny Walker( that's not you J.Walker on site, as know you are rare as well as have to be to know what Cappy is tarking aboot) They are still intact but not for too long now. Maybe tomorrow after coming from a dinner at the RSL ( same as your Legion) sporting my new veterans MN badge and calling the oldest and smallest out who casts aspersions on. Maybe drowning my sorrows if have misjudged all opponents weight and age. Have a good Xmas and new year and love to Pat. Gwen gets her first cataract op 3 days before Xmas, the other one after Xmas, so maybe she will have two eye patches on over new year, so may get a clear run. All the best John S. Would put kisses on but some might get the wrong idea. I put the turkey in the BBQ and put the top down works the same as an oven outside under the awning , practically live outside in the summer, doesn't do much for privacy though in the likes of examining dusky maidens, Cheers JS

Hi John, no it never came through. You mentioned something about a rail strike, think we will be OK as shipping company has coach service from airport to Freeo.
