We are all going to drive thoughtfully this Festive Season, arn't we!


Interesting stats that older drivers are involved in less accidents than younger drivers but older drivers cause more accidents especially in rural areas. Such things as being totally ignorant of other road users, changing lanes and making turns without indicating and obstructing traffic apparently cause younger drivers who have percieved deadlines to meet to have accidents taking risks to get around "The Old Fart" in front....

I would expect nothing less than exemplary driving from the members of this forum. If you are going away try to go before the rush and avoid the "idiots" and the ones who have to "get past the caravan at all costs". Still I'm telling you nothing you don't already know. Safe travelling those of you lucky enough to get away. Everyone else, take care in the local streets as well.

Terro.

Thats a very generous offer..... My experience with Ulladulla is that you will spend aroud 45 mins getting thru there in the Holidays anyway...

That's probably true Basil, but just remember the scenery across our harbour and foreshores is unequalled.  What better way to spend 45 minutes and if you can relax and revive at the same time, gotta be good

Travel safe and arrive home safe.
I won't be driving over the silly season, but I hope to be flying toward Adelaide over the time.
Just welcome in the new year all safe and well.

Oh! I'm impressed and oh, so reassured. Such a sacrifice for little ol' me? I really can't wait now. I won't leave until I've been dismissed. That would remove any risk factor connected with surgical procedures.
So do you drink AND sterilise with alcohol? Party in the theatre! Pity my surgery will slow the pary down, or is that the entertainment?
Isn't this fun?
Much better than boring phone calls from the hospital trying to sort out my case history.

Excuse me Granny !!! Do we drink in the operating theatre??.................???...............???? You are soooo rude!!

I'll have you know..............We.....as in Professor Ibbo and myself are PROFESSIONALS!!!

We do NOT drink during the operation..............immediately before...yes......(only to steady the hands from the party the night before ) and afterwards. However I will say.......we DO make up for it afterwards.

That's why you are so lucky to get us because we have a week off between ops to recover.......err.......umm......I mean a week off for further study!! We like to keep up. (who with, I'm not sure)

Rest assured, Good Lady, you are in good hands !!



Oh Ibbo.................Did you find another dog........I fear there may be some bits left over!!
