Hi Brian (Kong),
Best wishes to you and Anne for a wonderful trip. Sorry we won't be seeing you in Sydney this time around, but, who knows, maybe sometime in the future. Anyway, have a great time, mate, and whatever you do....BEHAVE !!!!! (fat chance of that, I suppose).
...............Roger
P.S. Not sure it was such a good idea leaving **** with the house-keys, mate. Squatters can be a bu--er to get rid of
