Hi All,

For what its worth, I thought I should tell you all that I just had the
pleasure of meeting Donbutts, and his wife Gail, during their trip here to
Brisbane to see their new grand-daughter.

Gail was very vivacious, warm, friendly, charming, fun-loving and witty
(well, at least 1/2 witty!!) ) Not totally unexpected, as she's a Brissie
girl.

Butts was exactly the same.

Apparently, they're both EXTREMELY well regarded in the international
Country and Western Music scene - Don as an in-demand guitarist, and, being
also an ex Army guy, and then a Forensic Police Photographer, he also knows
a thing or three about photography....!!!

Still can't help feeling sorry for the poor bastard, though - firstly,
he's a Kiwi, and secondly, he prefers flying complicated heavy airliners,
rather than Spitfires and Mustangs.

There's just no accounting for taste!!!! ))

It must be my lucky year, as, if he's still talking to me, I'm going to
be able to catch up with Marcel in N,Z, during his trip there next February,
and we'll both be able to catch up with Butts and Gail....and their mate
Jeff Bennett.....

Yessiirreee, I'm already making plans - electronic digital sheep
counter, raincoat, plug-in solar/electrically heated flying suit, digital,
hand-held electronic translator, gloves, ear muffs, fur-lined cap,
binoculars (so I can see past the fog/smog...), strap-on Billboard, so I can
brag about the result of ANY sporting contest we might have recently had
with them......

Never been there before (why would you...??), so it should be a hoot and
a half!!!

Regards,
John Ward

What's this? I'm gone for three weeks only to return 800+ messages and John and Don meet F2F and have a world peace
summit? Next thing you know there will be a cure for SPAM

Hi Carl,

No, mate, there's no cure for SPAM - it's always going to taste lousy!!

I'll say it AGAIN: people here sure waffle on - you leave for any length
of time, and there's always about a squillion messages to consider even
attempting to wade through when you come back

Strewth!!! ))

Gone for three weeks - must have been something, or someone )),
pretty important, mate, to drag you away from your fantastic home setup???

Had a great time JW and thanks for your hospitality and we thought you were
a great guy. My broadband is kaput at present and have fired up the old

Loved the river cruise and you pointing out that long raggety bank where
your convict rellies stood side by side with their individual cold chisels
specially shaping it to give that unkempt Australian appearance.
need more gum trees to hide it mate. The high rises do that admirably in
the other direction.

Hey I believe 'heli_nige' London ex this group is considering visiting Gayle
n I around the same time if he is not too busy flying his own real life
Cessna to France for luncheons. We should arrange a convention here..
Iain Smith could carry Nigel's bag.
By the way Marcel "Jane", the pretty little Kiwi you missed out on, ( i

Just in case you guys get the wrong impression way back in the Colonial days
the English shipped off their surplus convicts to Australia to get them out
of the way and the NZ ders delight in reminding them of this little bit of
history.
JW is the nicest of nicest people and was a pleasure meeting him. He has a
4. something gig puter with plasma attachments and a huge array of add
ons... I saw the CH pedals sitting about to be comnnected and if he has been
a little amiss with the group recently well he has a few probs family wise
that's causing a little concern and all his attention. But he is exactly as
portrayed to us perhaps even a little more genuine.. JW you are a good
mate!!!

I had to use some translator programs here.
I guess I should buy some dictionaries before I leave the country, eh?

I don't remember him. How long has he been gone?
A convention would be fun, but I wanna see the islands! Top to bottom, left
to right, by foot, by car, by helicopter, by boat, by horseback.

Sure beats the heck out of the old PC though, already! The 'Sim is a
