Since it is your birthday today, does that mean that you have reached the Banks compulsory retirement age?? LOL

Hope you and Brett (WA) have a great day at work

Cheers Kev

Thanks for those kind wishes....unfortunately any plans I MAY have had to retire anytime soon, have been flushed down the toilet in the same push of the button that has seen many billions of $$$$ removed from the stock market ;-((

So, it looks like the "work" (& I use the word rather loosely, I know!! haha) will have to continue into the foreseeable future. DAMN :-((

Cheers

Happy Birthday you old phart. I thought that you were only a spring chicken of 65 too. I guess your premature aging comes from trying to steer a Datsun around the place.
Have a good one Mate

Thanks everybody for your kind wishes......not sure about the title "legend" Bros!!!! hahahaha (I might be a legend in my own mind, maybe!!!! haha).

Twas a rather somber day actually..... I had to attend a memorial service for the wife of a work colleague. She died last saturday week, at age 50, after a simple medical proceedure went wrong and she got an air bubble in her blood stream which ended up in her brain. That happened on the friday and she was dead 24 hours later from brain damage.

Just goes to show that you've gotta live for today; like there is no tomorrow!!!

Cheers

Roachie

Seems you have the message about living for today mate. Hope you had a good day and sorry I hadn't messaged you before. Any internet I used was strictly for email as I have been away much of the last week.

Met some of your colleagues actually in Cambra where I leant all sorts of things about grain grower incomes, even centres like Kadina. Mind you, I already knew what we were paying them.

Good luck mate going forward and Annette too.

Happy birthday ( yesterday ) Roachie.

The years just keep going on, and remember that every year you are in top of the ground, is a whole lot better than every year you spend 6 feet under it.
Have a good one !

Bucky & Lyn !
