Shovel CJ? Think you might need a Bobcat to get rid of it all. However ... THIS PARTICULAR BOBCAT ... is NOT for hire!!!

No wuckers on the compliment ... I mean it ... 'cause I know its true.

Cheers,

Bobcat

Good luck with your 'Inaugural RAN Skilled Hands Western Australian Smokey' tonight boys and girls (?)...

We look forward to the photographic evidence...!

If any of you Sandgropers in the immediate vacinity are reading this for the first time, Viv and Lucii are hosting a gathering of the local WA Troops for a few convivials at the Port Kennedy RSL, at 1830 TONIGHT (that's 6.30 pm tonight for you 'non-nautical' types, and five minutes ago if you're in Sydney!) and I'm sure its not too late if you'd like to join them...!!!

Why aren't you at the 'Smokey' Chuckles...?

If we can make the effort to get down to Canberra from Sydney for 'Bobcat's 'do', surely Geraldton to Port Kennedy RSL woudn't prove much of a challenge for you...!

You don't have a missus and three kids to answer to.

I would have been in it 100% but she who Must be Obeyed, said No Way.

Come on you lot of pussy's, the Sydney guys were enlightening the troops by lunchtime the next day.

Seems the Eastern States runners can handle their grog a little better than the WA Wooses.
