Hi Bushpie,

Yes we are, we will head north for a few weeks in the van first. Then return home for a few weeks rest. Then away again for three months heading *^$%#@*.

 Lambie is throwing in the towel after 38 years of teaching and three degrees to her credit. 36 years of running my own manufacturing business, to which I will become a consultant for a further two years.

 Regards Jim & Lambie

The result I would have expected from Jayco, they are a reputable company.

I wouldn't worry Jim, all will be fixed, not worth the stress!

 Before I'm asked to pay penance once again Jim for my comments, perhaps we should let folk know that we do trade many fond..read fondle... emails and PM's......

What you ask of me above, reminds me of many of the cheaper CP toilets with those large revolving dunny paper dispensers where the last 'untouchable' tissue is invariably rammed up inside....and at that crucial point its far too late to waddle to the next cubicle....and without my glasses on.........I think the term is a 'paperless entry'..is made....not even three tissues..one 'up'..one 'down' and one to shine.....even more embarrassing when Julie asks where my handkerchief is.............lmao....

Hope to catch you out in the goldfields mate when you're up and away in the new pristine/repaired van....Hoo Roo

Nothing like a bit of toilet humour. Some people have a fascination for that kind of stuff.

Hi Peter,

There's nothing wrong with having a bit of a joke every now and then. Its so true that laughter is the best treatment to release stress.

 Without some fun in your life. You would soon get tired of life.no  Be Happy within yourself. Cause there is far to much sadness, poverty in this world as we speak. Just be greatfull of where we live and have so much to share.smilesmilesmile

Talking of toilet humour, this was seen on the wall of a public toilet.

Hey Jim,  Consultant eh? I spoke to a real engineer once and asked him the definition of a consultant. He told me it was a "subbie in a suit" and the type of bloke that asked you the time and ended up owning the watch.

You're going to be busy.

Unfortunately DMaxer, I am with you on this one.

I do hope that Jim gets the satisfaction he is looking for without further disputes, but I suspect not.

We have both enrolled to help Third world developing countries for a period of three years at our own expense.smilesmilesmile

Happy travels Peter/ The Phantom

Phantom, I know Jim isn't as adept at self promotion as yourself, however I know him reasonably well, and your "real Engineer" comment is disrespectful to him, and often I see other GN's  subjected to your vindictive barbs.....
.

 For the record, I am aware Jim is a 'Graduate of the University of Sydney Engineering' - with 'Honours'....how does that stack up against your esteemed Curriculum vitae?...if you can't

improve on silence why bother old chap?.....Hoo Roo

Was that about the same time you were in charge of NASA and I was Chief Justice of the High Court, Goldfinger?

Mr Goldfinger, you appear to be the self appointed Phantom-basher on this Forum and want to use every opportunity to attack me.

Even to the extent of finding a comment that you believe to be offensive which, in fact, had nothing to do with our friend Hey Jim but was, on your evidence of his qualifications, entirely co-incidental.

And if you are so definite in your views, how come you need to edit a simple post 3 times and still not get it right?

Go back to your prospecting. Thinking is, obviously, not your strong point.

The Phantom

Thanks for setting out your Master of Little, Curriculum vitae'...better singer/more talented than John English...Batchelor in Engineering at local TAFE perhaps?....the sarcasm book that you quote from above, actually defines a Consultant as 'someone who takes the watch off your wrist and then tells you what time it is'....so you used a bit of creativity playing around with a very old quote...supposedly made by your 'Real Engineer'....I'll go prospecting as you suggest, when you hike back to the 'Belchin' Congo' where you no doubt belong.......Hoo Roo

That is a good play on words. The term is "bachelor" not "batchelor".    Batchelor however is located in the Northern Territory and there is a TAFE there.
