    Default 500th post! Gumby! Cliff!

    I'll be da*ned if I was going to waste my 500th post on the Friday drivel when I could waste it on my own thread.

    Almost everyone on this Forum (you exceptions know who you are) are the bee's knees.

    I am hoping 500 posts will win a free ticket to OZ (actually, two free tickets, my SWMBO has to travel as well). If so, I would like to meet Ruffly, sing karaoke with Gumby, swop experiences with Groggy, Flowboy, Lignum, Tassiekiwi, Driver, Doughboy, Murray 99, Bennie, Stuart, Neil, , Shedhand, Felder, Rocker, Al, oh my lord, I feel like I'm making a speech at the Oscars, I fear I will leave someone out.

    Cliff, Havenoideatall, Farm Boy, Wood Butcher, Daddles, Dingo, the list goes on and on. If you weren't mentioned, it was an oversight, not intentional. You blokes are the best

    I've overlooked everyone. I apologise. But I've found a home from home on this Forum. And besides, I've had several shooters.

    I'll include the rest one the next post. You are all wonderful.

    Strewth, I'm getting maudlin. Ugh!
    Cheers,

    Bob

    Congrats Bob!

    You seem to be getting a little emotional. Why don't you just thank these people and that way you know you won't have missed anyone.

    BTW, what is "Friday drivel"? Am I missing out on something?

    Good on you Bob!.

    Re your "Aussie Bob" tag though, f.y.i that was the sobriquet of a notorious Aussie Mafiosi, one Robert Trimboli.

    You can read all about him here:

    It's quite a tale too!

    Congrats, Bob.

    If you really were at the Oscars, you would, of course, have thanked God and sung something in which you use more keys than a locksmith in each line.
    P.S. Time to put the Scotch to bed methinks!

    Good one.

    Rob

    Mates!! It's bourbon, not scotch, and anyway, I'm going to go to bed for a time now. Adios muchachos! (Se habla espanol.)
    Cheers,

    Bob

    A wise move indeed. Shows how comfortable you feel around here.

    One right out of 17. Not bad for a beginner (i.e. a member under 1000 posts )

    I think a trip to the shrink's couch is in order. Or just get out more often.

    Do you have the honour of being the first yank with 500 ?
    We might have to make a badge or something

    cheers, mate, well done.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Gumby, I had to ask, its been bugging me. Who's this Faith person you're keeping and where and why exactly is she kept? She's not someone's Guinea pig is she? Also, is that Dragons or Drag Queens?

Then there was the time I grabbed a live 240v, crossed a paddock with a bull in it, drilled a hole in my leg and had to unscrew it by hand. Of course the time I slipped off a fallen tree trunk, impaled my leg and hung upside down for an hour bleeding like a ripper - that's one experience I am willing to give away for nix, you don't have to swap and I don't want it back - it's yours. Maybe the nightmares will go away now .

    Oh yeah, good on yer Bob

    Well done Bob
    Not a bad effort for a yank on an Aussie forum.
