Father's day

[moose]

How did everyone do for father's day?

I got an enjo pack to clean the car with, more work for me I s'pose:)

[awabbit6]

I spent an hour this morning with a salesman from Titan working out where our new SHED is going! The ultimate father's day present!
Should be up by the end of November. :D:D It will happen with pics!

Got heaps of new clothes too (think they are trying to tell me something) Just means lots of old shirts become rags for the NEW SHED!!!!

[Captain_Rightfoot]

I got a airport express so I can beam my music from the puter to the stereo :) No more looking for and swapping cd's for me :)

[Red Baron]

I did pretty well. Apart from the obligatory artwork from the kids, I scored a couple of DVD's. 'The Best of Top Gear ser.1 & 2" and "Clarkson - The Good The Bad & The Ugly". Its typical Clarkson; thrashing fast cars, destroying things, blowing up a Harley, filling a Jag with water....

Fathers Day?
Up at 6.30, took NM for a drive in Leon to the local markets, got home and made her a pot of tea. Then cooked her breakfast!!!!:o Nothing sexist about our household:D

Oh! My daughter gave me another model Land Rover the other day as well.

Please explain? Sounds like something I could do with.

[BigJon]

I am not a father, so nothing special for me!!

I did get up early and go flying (R/C controlled nitro powered trainer plane).

[B92 8NW]

I bought my dad a bottle of Penfold's Bin 407, 2001 release... He can develop his own very special occasion to open it on:p

[rangieman]

Im still waiting , its a long story so dont worry:cool:

[JDNSW]

One phone call from each son.

Breakfast in bed, home made cards, a book and some smellies....plus offer of going out for lunch, but I want to get the wiring on the Fender finished! Kids are only 7 & 9 though, so can't expect the wife to buy me too much! ;-)

[Blknight.aus]

one of the wifes friends wanted some trees removed...

SWMBO knew that MR McCullock was a happy chappy...

just got back...

I love the smell of 2 stroke and sawdust in the evening... :)

I did OK: a card from my 3yo, Explore Australia book and will get myself a bit of gym equipment...(good excuse - father's day)... spending the weekend with the in-laws and finishing Environmental Law essay.

[Landy110]

I got a triton work bench.
Wish I got it before I made the drawer system for the fender iy would have been very helpful.
I'll get a lot of good use out of it!

[twitchy]

Get to go & squeeze 50rounds through a 9mm pistol just up the road from home!!!:cool:

[George130]

Got woken up by kids. Given a car cleaning kit (Guess the argument that Defender's are afraid of being clean isn't accepted anymore). Was also given some cards.
We then took a drive to burrenjuck to look and some old machines and vehicles and a BBQ.
Back home. The lights stayed on so I must have mounted them correctly.:)

[Roadrunner]

Got some drawings from the little ones and spent all day plastering the new extension. So when does the weekend start again??

Because of the sheer size of it and the fact I haven't got two days off too clean it sounds like a good excuse to me.

[Ging]

Woken up at 1am and 6am by a very excited 7 month old who could'nt wait for me to open my presents'.

Very special handmade cards', woollen Scotsman (possibly intended as a driving companion), books', and a framed picture of my above mentioned son driving a London bus.

Went into the city where the guy selling the big issue was so wrapped we bought one that he told us all about the S.T.D he caught.

Also had pie, coffee, and cake at David Jones. Very nice

Thanks for asking, glad to share.

Have a look at the airport HERE. (http://store.apple.com/133-622/WebObjects/australiastore.woa/wa/RSLID'mco=6C04E0B8&nplm=M9470X/A)

Basically if you have Itunes (pc or mac) you can beam your music to this gadget. It then sends it to your amplifier with an optic or a rca style leads and plugs.

If you have all your music in itunes this is the go. :)

I also got an afternoon of champagne flying in and indian for tea. Dads day is great. :)

It's crook that the other company did not come back with a fresh quote, how do I know? Lee told me :D.

[Ace]

well i got a much needed sleep in, mucked around in the yard for a while, polished the disco (it actually looks worse shiny cause you can see the scrathes) then went for a family drive looking or a road that actually doesnt exist (long story cut short a road is marked on an old toppo but it doest actually exist, bummer cause it looks like a nice drive) and i got a 4x4 Australia subscription. Matt

[RomperStomper]

Bah, even though my old man doesnt read this (I think) from WA i'd like to just post on a happy fathers day to him..

Land Rovers FTW :D

[CraigE]

Sadly at work, but the kids snuck a couple of pressies into my bag. A set of fluffy jim beam dice (have not had a set of these since I was 18, lol), some chockies, some Holden socks and a best dad mug. All good stuff picked by the kids.
When I get home I get my 1 : 1/18 model of the Effigy.
:D

I'll add it;

Got up, had beer, then breakfast, then spa with my son, and more beer, nanny nap, more beer, now a bottle of red:D.

Not really. I preferred Titan's construction. I was just being courteous and giving them the opportunity to re-quote.

I hope you had a great day today!

[Barra1]

Flew over to Perth on Thursday with No. 1 son - we spent four days with No. 3 son - and came home today. Great time - but missed No. 2 son who lives in Canada - I think he was really homesick today when he phoned me for Father's Day.

Always have and always will look forward to Father's Day.:D:D

[twitchy]

Better late than never they say...

Got a pair of tiny handheld CB's & a Snatch strap ( in case I have to rescue a Toymota )......:D

[UncleHo]

G'day Folks :)

I had a very pleasent Fathers Day, recieved a set of those small rectangular Fog lights for the commodore, a swivell head hand rivet gun, and 10,000Ma Battery charger from my daughter, topped it all off by going to a Semena on dogs training by Steve Austin:D brilliant ;)

[p38arover]

Steve Austin used to run the obedience classes that our first border went to in Sydney :D

The Six Million Dollar Man ran dog classes! :eek:

Oh, I got Lindt chocolate and scratchies (I won money :)) from wife. My daughter's present still hasn't arrived from Derby. Son? He probably forgot to buy something. :(

OUTBACK CHALLENGE 2007 DVD!!!!!!!!

I almost got everything i asked for :woot:

[UncleHo]

G'day Numpty's Missus :)

Yup! Steve is one interesting and knowledgeable person, he now trains and judges world wide Drug,Explosive, & Quarantine Dogs;) including the new ones for the DPI in Tasmania for FOX detection, showed us video footage of judging drug detection dogs in Europe, on railway carriages, in Czech Republic, with Police,Country authorities, and Army teams competing from Germany,Poland,Czech Republic,Slovenia,Romania,Austria, it was fasinating, and the top drug dog in detections is a little black mini poodle, with most competitors being German or Belgium Shepherds, with some Labradors, top stuff with all competitor members armed:eek: you don't mess with these guys.

cheers
