Yes Fred, I've been through all the drunks ringing me every 5 minutes, that's why I give everybody Rick's number.

Funny how they don't ring me when I'm overseas and it will cost them a fortune, obviously they only miss me when I'm just down the road.

Hmmm ...... come to think about it, you have been overseas for a few Rocks Runs haven't you Chippy One? Very sus!!!

I've missed two since we started the Rocks Run 11 years ago Pete. One when I was required to attend a golf presentation night when I was the Treasurer (that was when I was getting phone calls every 10 minutes ), and the second one was last year when I was Cruising between Singapore and Hong Kong. This will be my third apology.

Settle down Chippy One ........ Just pulling the pud!!! None of us can always attend the Rock's Run for the very type of reasons you explained. Our life has to go on, and cannot be built around this event. You enjoy your trip, and I'll try to stop the others from saying 'orrible things about you........as I always do!!!

As everything comes in in three's (or so they say), you should be right again after this one Ned! Enjoy your holiday and bugger the consequences ...

Yes, I remember the year we all rang you. And to be fair, it was from each pub, not every 5 or 10 minutes.

I also remember it got more @#$% hilarious the more pubs we visited.

So much so that we were near legless the last time we rang!

Anyone can be ordinary. Shipwrights choose to be extraordinary!

Fred
I think our telephone company has a plan that for $10 a month, and we only need to pay it for the month of November, we can call Ned any time we want for free that month.

Ain't technology wonder full? LOL

Now the GDY would never do that to Ned???

Ah Have fun you lot, I don't mind you ripping the pisser out of me, after all that's what makes this site so good.

Every pub Chris It seemed like every time I tried to take a sip of red, the drunks were burbling some bullshit down the line. But it was quite funny I must admit.
