Thread: Embarrassment

Good that the pay packet is bigger - even if the hours are not great. Hope its less of a stress with none of the longer trips any more.

Yeah mate, I used to hate belting up and down the F3 (one of the most dangerous Freeways in Australia) to Sydney and back. You feel safer driving around locally in a bus.

Well Karen & I & kids got to meet another forum member on Sunday afternoon. Didge (Gerald) called in on his way home from Port Macquarry with his daughter.We have to thank him for that as it was a bit out of his way & he still called in & had atleast another 3 hours from here to get home..I have to appologise cause i forgot to ask use if you wanted a drink & KAREN said to say sorry if she sent you home with a headache as she is a little on the loud side & fast talking...
Gerald rang on Sunday morning when they where leaving Port But we where'nt quick enough to answer the phone SO i actualy rang the number back & after talking for a bit he said i'll give ya a call when where a bit closer but we never got it he had a doppy Dorris so just turned up..
I never got nervous at all & was looking forward to meeting them both I think thats because use all know my history which makes it easier on me ..

It was an honor & a plesure to meet you Gerald & your daughter & we thank you for going out of your way to call in , Thanks very much for that..

Good to had a chance to meet him.

Pity young Harold wasn't in a bit better state - you could have introduced them.

Well all and sundry, as Jason noted above I did pop in for a quick chat with my daughter and met, what my daughter and I said on the way home, was a wonderful and charming family. Jason looks like James Bond and believe me people Karen looks like one of the Bond girls; she isn't fat, she's a slip of a girl (woman) and they're just great fun to be around. Jason, when I said you reminded me of my cousins, yes that was a compliment mate; they're great people and so are you guys. We were all nice and relaxed and I couldn't believe how easily our conversation flowed. We didn't do that thing where you meet people and then don't know what to say next and have those awkward silences, it was all good. And how about those kids of yours, eh? I know why you call Micayla (did I spell that right?) Fred (Fabulous REDhead) and Cody (a nice young gentleman) - good luck with the footy mate and remember what dad's gonna call you when you're taller than him; what a pleasant, well mannered and delightful your kids are. Very impressive indeed; and I'd be proud to have them as my kids.
Guys, I'd have you lot as my neighbours any day of the week and anyone who doesn't want to know you is missing out themselves, like ya mate next door.
As for the cuppa, don't worry, we'd eaten and drunk not that long earlier so we were full. Headache, you kidding? Great to chat!!!!
Hey, you wouldn't believe it. Hayleigh (my daughter you met) has been looking to buy a Suzuki Swift and where does she see one advertised on Monday??? Wallsend! HA! How about that?
Anyway, next time we're passing, I'll give you a hoy and maybe I can meet Ausfree if he's not "On the buses" haha.
Anyhow take care and misbehave
cheers Gerald

Sorry I missed you Didge, I only live ten minutes from Banjo and if you came off the F3 you would have driven passed my house (sort off). Jason is easy to talk too once you know him and he is also very generous with his time and expertise if you have a Landy problem. Recently changed the oil in the rear diff on my FL1 and Banjo was only too happy to assist, easy enough job I know but Banjo made it look even easier.
Yeah, I am fairly tied up with the new job, but I can make arrangements most weekends (swap shifts) to meet anybody coming through the area. Next time I am up your way I will arrange to meet you.

Good to hear you finally met our mate Banjo, Didge.

Aus, I live in Sydney (1/2 way to Wollongong) and my outlaws are in Port Macquarie and we generally get up there most school holidays but probably won't be heading that way again for some months. Anyhow, next time any of you are in the south of Sydney, call in! And mate, you're right, Jason appears to be a real dab hand with a welder and spanner, isn't he?! He'd leave me for dead as a mechanic. Good neighbour to have, I reckon (not just for that but also cos they're just good guys)
I forgot to mention the kids could well be models - good looking pair they are
Dale, one day in the near future I HOPE to get up your way for a bit of an adventure and will no doubt call in for a cuppa and a chat, if you're available
cheers gerald
