RE: Fortunately, Unfortunately.

kandagal · Guru

Fortunately I land on my head so there's no harm done

Firefly · Guru

Fortunately, after the bump on the head, I had no recollection of the antics of an over weight duck and the every gorgeous Fly.

Gerty Dancer · Guru

Unfortunately, the scary sheila's Thump was from her wooden walking stick which she waved threateningly, so cowering on the ground I weakly pointed to the gorgeous Firefly's place. She stomped off, but leaving me still on the ground.

Firefly · Guru

Fortunately, the gorgeous Firefly, with a flick of her sparkly butt, buzzed off into the unknown, leaving Thumper in her wake.

Firefly · Guru

Fortunatly for Disco, he hadn't chocked the wheel of his Avan and it went hurtling down the hill, out of control and ran smack bang over the top of poor old Thumper, leaving her bruised and disheveled.

Gerty Dancer · Guru

Unfortunately I'm still struggling to get up, its getting late... help!

ibbo · Senior Member

Unfortunately the Young japanese couple had parked their thingy on top of a Wombats hole.Let the fun begin.

dazren · Guru

Fortunately It was'' Our Wombats'' hole, and it caved in from the weight of the wizzbang. and our womby could not get out and so the grey nomads gathered around the wizzbang singing with Glee Led by that Master of Ceromonies ''Dougwe''

extreme potato · Veteran Member

Unfortunately, not many of the GNs possessed good singing voices and there were two unexpected outcomes. Wombat dug deeper ino the earth but at the same time, the local school choir who were camping nearby came out in force to see what the ruckus was.

ibbo · Senior Member

Fortunately the Choir burst into song with a rendition of "Just a closer walk with Thee".

Rip and Rosie · Guru

Unfortunately, as wombat's head emerged from his hole he gave such a fright to the tourists that they threw their wok and camera into the whizzbang.

Reving the engine, they took off, flattening the wombat hole as they went.

"Dear god, save my mate" yelled Dougwe and he frantically dug to free the marsupial.

All the grey nomads gathered, some with shovels, some came with bandages and one pushed forward with the remnants of a pavlova.

The choir came back and continued singing ............." Just a closer walk with thee"

Dougwe worked frantically.

Rip and Rosie · Guru

But unfortunately, I was still there on my back on the ground where I had fallen in a slightly tipsy accident after the goings on with Firefly.

No one is helping me and the bloody whizzbang is driving me nuts, plus the choirs are going on and on.

"Just a closer walk with thee"......... give me a break!!!

Schoolkids are running all over the place, and the fat kid thinks its funny to see me helpless on the ground with the chair on top of me.

There are comings and goings in the wombat hole - he's up to something.

I close my eyes and make a wish......... can some one please help me up !

I join my hand and I pray ...............dear god, I'll be good and give up the grog if you send someone to help me up !

Just then I open my eyes and see the Japanese tourist from next door bending over me, offering a hand.

Saved.

Rip and Rosie · Guru

Unfortunately, there was little they could do.

Neither Marj (Happy Wanderer)'s personal transport vehicle (Myrtle) nor her personal trainer (Katoot) were worth much in a crisis.

"Oh Wombat" cried Dougwe as he frantically dug through the collapsed wombat hole. "Mate, aw mate! I luvs ya mate"

Like all good movies, you can trust the cavalary, and with the honking of the horn on her little red car, over the hill came Beth, closely followed by the troop of men who like to help single women nomads park their rig !

Firefly · Guru

Fortunately he could speak a little English and asked me if I would mind taking a photo of him and his beloved.

"Not lying here on my back," I told him.

ibbo · Senior Member

Unfortunately the position that the Japanese Tourist had in mind was not in the best of tastes.I told him that he had the wrong slant on life.

Gerty Dancer · Guru

Fortunately his "beloved" being female and possessed of some common sense could see my distress and assisted me to rise. By now it was very late and I was keen to speak to the Master of Ceremonies Dougwe and plead for peace. He had difficulty hearing me as his attention was diverted to Wombat finally digging out of his hole and scaring the kids off.

Beth54 · Guru

Fortunately Beth was towing a small bobcat on a trailer. She jumped out and got the bobcat off and frantically started scooping the dirt away to find wombat. The men who were following told her they could scoop the dirt quicker than her, so on the next scoop, she tipped the dirt over them.

ibbo · Senior Member

Fortunately about this time a Happy Wanderer appeared down a mountain track singing Falda ree,faldaraa,my knapsack on my back.Seeing the plight of the poor Wombat the Happy Wanderer thought that she would use her personal transport vehicle to rescue said Wombat.Her Vehicle would not start.

Kiwi-as · Guru

fortunately who should happen along then but Kiwi, who said " stand back, i will dig him out with the long claws on my feet, but first i will give him some air by pushing my long nose down into his hole,and give him some mouth to mouth".

Rip and Rosie · Guru

Unfortunately, while Kiwi-as was giving mouth to mouth to Wombat, Dougwe was still traumatised, Beth was polishing the dirt off her little red car and Happy Wanderer was still singing!

Thankfully, grey nomads are a talented group and with a sprinkling of fairy dust and the sparkling of a star, and someone dragged Dougwe away for some counselling over a wee dram.

Firefly used her mobile to ring the vet but her wouldn't come without photos of the kiwi and the wombat, so someone just threw water on them.

The woman with the leftover pavlova finally got someone to eat it.

Jimricho wearing his carlton jumper, sprang into Beth's bobcat. The crowd roared. Beth sprang forward, but Extreme Potato (Monica) held her back.

"Hush girl, just act blonde for a minute. Its fine. Most of us been doing it for years."

Jimricho reved up the bobcat and dug wombat a wonderful burrow away from the track and the campsites. Beautiful work! Multi-roomed, with a viewing platform!

Ibbo took Marj (Happy Wanderer) by the hand. So involved in the beauty of her song, the other grey nomads followed...... " I love to go a wandering ......."

Like the Pied Piper of old, the grey nomads were led away, ......Marj still singing ......"Vale der eee, val der raaa"......and the procession made its way across to Ibbo's 5th-wheeler where happy hour began just a few hours late.

Dougwe · Chief one feather

Fortunately wombat came too after being rescued to the joy of dougwe but not for toooolong as poor wombat crawlled backwards and fell into all dougwe's absolute crap, now bigw is sick. Howlong will he be sick for Briche yelled, to the reply of all at Greens Lake "NOT TOOOOLONG" we hope.

Firefly · Guru

Unfortunately, with all this kafuffel going on, Santa thought the best idea would be to fly over Womzone and visit other nomadic creatures who seem to be much better behaved.

Their stockings were filled with lumps of coal.

ibbo · Senior Member

Fortunately thanks to Sydneys exellent road system Santa's convoy finally made it to the Harbour Bridge,but for the first time in many years the bridge was in the up position to allow HMAS Melbourne to pass beneath it.Santa, taking advantage of the situation quickly set up a stall selling Black Pudding flavoured Vanilla Slices. ashamed

ibbo · Senior Member

Fortunately Santa had to pay a mining tax on the coal.He also hit a snag when delivering presents to the kids in Sydney that due to a curfew he could not fly after 11 pm.All is not lost though because CG is escorting MTM's semi loaded with Santa's sleigh and Reindeer. aww .

Rip and Rosie · Guru

Unfortunately, even CG can't get through the Sydney traffic.

Up ahead some old git in a potop is dawdling along at 80.

You'd think the fool would pull over and let CG and Santa through.

The old bloke's got his van loaded to the max, no WDH, way down at the back and no mirrors!

Singing..................."Until the 12th of never......................"

Rip and Rosie · Guru

Unfortunately, the Sydney Harbour Bridge is a single span bridge and does not open, so this, combined with the black pudding awakened my to the fact that this was a dream.

I opened my eyes, squinted, rubbed away the sleep.

I was still in Greens Lake............................................

Firefly · Guru

Fortunately, Xmas was still some weeks off but closing in fast, still hope for R & R yet. biggrin

Rip and Rosie · Guru

Unfortunately, while we were planning our christmas shopping (on the net- we are soooo modern), we neglected to notice that we were almost out of gas.

Bugger.

It's miles into anywhere to get some more and the fridge is full of food!

"I told you I needed a genny"

Firefly · Guru

Fortunately ( I really hope this) the night was of a cooler variety and all the food lived to fight the next day because the gas didn't run out. smile

(did most of mine on the net too R&R) wink
