Got a pager message just after I got married. "See you shortly in ......, luv Dianne". My wife hapenned to grab the pager to read out the message. Dianne was the name of our bridesmaid. Some quick calls were made to clear my name as "Our Dianne" didn't have the ability to end out a pager message. No idea who sent the message but it was not work. Someone missed out.

When my dear mother died we rang her sister to break the sad news. Her sisters name was Mavis, things got a little confusing when Raine rang Mavis, from the contacts on the phone. Problem was Raine also had a sister named Mavis. Wasn't funny at the time but looking back on it..............

Hi Dougwe And all,
Not at all Doug, We had a big laugh. My Lambie knows me down to the very last. We hold no secrets.
However if I told you over thirtyfive years just doing my job, I have had three dressing grown welcomes, where I have prolitly said, I will come back, when your feeling better.
True. And one has to make a very quick exit. The outcome could and would, become very serious indeed. If one were to make accusations.
Regards Jim

I like the views from "Hey Jims" place (even if just from pics), although intend to see them for real in 2016 !! (Again thanks Jim for your generous offer - I need to measure my van as they maker reckons its 2850 - allows 500 for your carport, although guess we can deflate tyre pressures if it was necessary)

Hi Bruce & Bev,
I can do better then that. Why waste all that hot air. Just rip off the wheels. We can just put your van on my double set of go jacks and park it where ever you like. The boat is 2900 high so we will just inch it past the C/ port then.
Too easy Bruce, If Bev's behind the wheel that is.

Doug -watch out, or I'll go whinging off to Cindy about you upsetting me......you know how delicate my petals are LOL
And at least MY hot air comes out my mouth, unlike you .......
Your turn to have a shot back now
Sorry we hijacked the topic Jim - its the naughty room boy in his funny feather hat at fault again trying to upset me.
As for Bev backing in.....I hope your neighbors on the driveway side have a sense of humour and looking for a new fence. We're house sitting with about 15km of good metal (well, compacted dirt typical of NSW metal roads). I cannot get her to drive the ute along it......there are a few hair pin bends on it with steep drop-offs and logging trucks towards the end, but otherwise you could be on the M41 hahaha
