OFAL " Old Farts and Ladies "

For all you voyeurs , YES , Jack and are booking a blind date .

Is there no other potential OFAL club members out there ?

Do you think I'm a nutter, Beatit, because I read these pages - but I agree with you - there are some serious nutters (Wolfie, Des Lexic, etc. etc. - hahahahaha - I'll get in trouble now - oh yes, Roachie).

Serious ? Mostly. Nutters ? Definately. I also have a wife who also works, and I therefore travel by myself. (not as often as I'd like) I win all my arguements but am still always to blame whenever anything goes wrong. Which is often.
I love a bit of solitude after spending too many years in a noisy stressfull environment. No CD stackers in my vehicle, in fact I'm still not sure how to program new channels in the car radio.
Its nice to meet interesting people on the road. But being alone means that you are instantly "sus", even if you look like Father Xmas (probably especially so :) Your kids will make you new friends instantly, but mine have grown up.
I learned years ago that travelling companions were either a joy or the cause of ......well you know what I mean.
Look at our early explorers, most of the truly disasterous episodes were caused by crook companions.
I really shouldn't have said that.
People are what makes a good trip, a good town, a pleasant day.
Best of luck Willie. Hope you hook up with someone compatable

Oh no Ruth not at all. But then again they say that there is very little difference between being a loonie tune and a genius. Some days I reckon I should get classified so I would happiliy be thrown in with that lot. And what great company you and the others make - personnally I reckon their all geniuses really.

Kind regards

Hey footloose if your arguing with yourself I have to tell you that your not winning the argument.

Kind regards

Hey Mr Beatit, when ya gonna fix the Qld Health system ? Oh wrong guy, huh ?
Who me argue with myself...umm which self ?
Everyone argues with themselves, that's called marriage :))

G’day Footloose almost had it done, spoke to Chairman Pete the other night and he said he’d quit if it wasn’t so by the end of the year. But since then the press have become involved and he is not quite as definite about this now.

Glad to see Pete enjoyed his holidays I funded ...well at least he did until he got home. I actually met one of the po litical power brokers from Qld a few years ago, out in the scrub (No, not the Charleville convention). Apart from the horns he looked normal. Mind you that was in the days before the 60 second chook feeding.
Of course Pete's not sure any more. He's still suffering from the jet lag. All those drinkies in 1st class are just sooo wearing when you have to make a statement to the press.
Overcast and opressive today. And the markets down again. Gotta cheer myself up somehow, now that I can't draw cartoons any more :))

Are you talking of those cartoons? It wouldn’t do to have them burning the Austrian Embassy – wait a moment they’ve already done this! Always seem to get the 2 countries mixed up. Just to link this with another thread I presume that littering the scrub is not an issue here?

Why not study medicine? The chairman is offering a big pay rise; probably do better at this than cartoons. That way you won’t have any loosing arguments either – never heard of a doctor that was wrong.

Kind regards

You mentioned the sane ones Ruth. Oh hang on Des drives a Tojo......put him that category then.

Ozzies do have a connection with that country...something to do with a bar in Sydney and a real estate girl I believe. Now she's apparently become a great dane.

Study medicine? As in trust me I'm a doctor ? That just frightens the heck out of anyone with a brain these days.

Guess I've been lucky, there's only been one ailment that I couldn't self diagnose correctly. Kid knee stone. One that wasn't just passing through. The Doc got to play star wars and take a hefty lump out of my pocket at the same time.

THIS IS A BL00DY DISGRACE . MY SERIOUS POST HAS BEEN HIJACKED BY RIFF RAFF . BEATIT YOU FOOTLOOSE BREWERS .

At least I took you seriously, Willie ...

And now back to sharpening my axe ... he he he he ... !!

Jack

Yep, a national disgrace. People like me hijacking it.
"Best of luck Willie. Hope you hook up with someone compatable "
Perhaps we thought that you and Jack had already left ?

I'll have u known that no loose feet make it into my brews :)

Loose feet sink ships

Loose feet also wander around :)
(coming to a town near you...be afraid, be very afraid. )

Look out Willie, he's threatening to visit the Rip Off State LOL

The Rip Off State ? You mean there's only one ?

ooops! Should have clarified that should'nt I. The PREMIER Rip Off State.

Oh that place. I can see the border from my verandah. I came from there. Moved to a state which only rips you off a little bit...at a time...all the time......

See, that's the difference. Your lot have'nt mastered the art of squeezing blood out of a stone yet. Our lot graduated from flogging a dead horse a long time ago :))))

Ahhh..but our mob have convinced us that we're having a great time while we're filling their coffers:))

You got us there. Our mob don't have the brains to pull that off. They're more like a drunk staggering down a long corridor, bumping his way along from wall to wall.

Twas a slow day on Ozzie
Not much goin on
A few posted questions
No answers, not one

Ah here's our young Willy
He needs a good mate
To sit by the campfire
To open the gate

But Beatit and Footy
Were waffling on
A thread has been hijacked
The question had gone

Now both of these fellas
Much better do know
Its a disgrace says Willy
And both of ya know
My posting was serious
Now ping off just go.

And now to the moral
I'm sure you'll agree
Two boys have been naughty
That's Beatit and me

We can say that we're sorry
But that's not enough
Poor Willy is out there
He's doing it tough
So if you have time
And are up for a trip

Please tell him right now....

Very clever indeed. Good one Footloose

Kind regards

"Anyone would think ,
With jokes so funny ,
Jack Benny himself had sat on this dunny ."

- Royal Oak Hotel , third cubicle from the end .

Nice one Footloose , I am glad to see you recognise the seriousness of the matter .

A bit greener today . Why does it go down three times as fast as it goes up ?

Willie

Willie, I assume that you're referring to the market and not to our private lives :))
As I understand it, the up is expectations and the down is profit taking. And as the song says , "you just take more than you give" :)))))))))

Beatit, merely the ramblings of a deranged mind, mine ! :) A great pity that Willie is so far away. I'm sure we know of a few quick but enjoyable spots up here.
I have my own favourite that isn't much. It's just a spot to get away and reflect overnight. When I get back the next morning I've forgotten what was bothering me. We all need spots like those.
The last time, I arrived after dark, and the place was packed. Twas a dark and moonlit night and I was not amused to see so many. So I swung my lights around...and noticed a few peeking out wondering "what the !" heheheheheh

I hear what your saying so it means I'm equally deranged. Alway suspected this because the kids and bride have been telling me this for years. I'd be careful with that overnighter as some may add "dirty" to the old man status. I guess it solves the entertainment problem - so where is it?

Kind regards

Glen ,
I will lend you something a bit quicker !
Willie .

Brother ,
You are not in NSW are you ? Where are Nudie and Truckster lately ?
Willie .

Yes mate. Out in the wild, wild, western suburbs :)))))

Nudie and Truckster seem to have other committments at the moment. They're generally on at odd hours at the moment.

When I retired , I told her I was off exploring Australia . She decided that she would rather work !
