Well I'm glad they finally got to you Gats, you have no idea how many PMs that took to arrange! Worth it to make you happy, though.

Gats,

I'm so sorry I missed you. I dialled to talk to you but you were on the phone to MotherGoose. I had to leave for my long drive home and couldn't wait for the redial.

Now I'm jealous you didn't get a chance to attach my screen name to a voice.

We were hoping to hear from the happy group of party animals, but our phone never made a sound.

Could be, Sue ! Just as we were wrapping up we went "dead". Either money/time ran out or some frazzled operator somewhere had a medical emergency wondering the nature of these calls going all over the world? Or, I reckon, maybe it was time for a beer run !

It was great to talk to you all, guys! And Ozzz, I have it from a reliable source that I wasn't the only one having trouble understanding you.

My bet is that the battery in ozzz's phone was worn out with all that chat.....

Thanks to everyone for some fun chats- we had a great time passing the phone round the table...

And apologies to those we missed- Santana was right about the battery

PS- anyone want a hangover?

No Ozzz, I think if you worked hard to get the hangover you deserve to enjoy it all by yourself!

Glad you all had fun, definately count me in next time, and I promise I won't accidentally delete anything ever again (well, the PM 'reply' button is right next to the 'delete' button... )

Meagan, didn't mean to cut you off on the phone, but my cordless phone battery was running low and was beeping. If I had transferred to the other stationary phone you would have been cut off...and plus I didn't want you guys to run up that phone bill too much.

Big disappointment - gtho wasn't there!




We all missed him too to MG, he got a few messages and calls telling him to dump the outlaws and get over there.
We had a great time together and I enjoyed talking to all you nice people from around the world.

I was the first to leave on sunday and I'm sorry I missed talking to Gatsby and Leau, sniff, sniff,

Not sure what else to add to that. It was a real hoot. I didn't overimbibe.
These airfares are starting to add up but travelling to Sydney is worth it, (for shopping as well etc)

You mean that it isn't a half hour drive? I can drive from one side of the island to the other in half an hour and that is allowing for traffic.

You're lucky, Sue. There are times it will take me an hour to get four miles!
