Im sure ill wander along , buy a snag, sink a tinnie or two. VB won't be a permanent residence. More a holiday destination for us, our family and friends etc. Probably let out fron time to time. I can assure you we paid far less than 130...even less than asking Had originally thought about Inverloch but left our race too late there. Both wife and I had holidayed at VB in younger times and now we just like it as it away from ALL the ratrace. Not a lot in good ol VB. At least theres a Bar

The Funny thing Ernest...is two things I detest are Heat and Humidity...in many ways I travel under sufferance. I hate summer. Im only going as Im assured there'll be constant access to cooling liquids or a pool...or both...or similar. The good lady as does much or her brood relishes Qld... I'm really not a fan though Coolum in early Autumn is quite pleasant. We bloody live 100m from the beach...if i stand up I can just about see it..It holds no mesmerising allure for moi. ( though the Dog does rather enjoy a frollick ) We've just bought land in Venus Bay...I get to spend 6 months next year..building a house...by the f*&^%$!!! beach.. Im over them...lol A cool mountain stream with vistas of mountains, snowcapped.....ahhhhhh now we're talking but the Bright build is still years away ...so alas...Ill go to bloody qld...but dont expect me to enjoy it (well not too much )...apparently its some place near the mirage.. so not too shabby ( bloody doesnt want to be lol ) I of course as I feel sheepish leaving you all will keep you informed daily about the suffering. Im informed one doesnt wear crocs up there.....in fact crocs are to be avoided entirely.....apparently the beach will be in 'stinger' season...i mean wtf is the attration lol... No lets go snorkelling... in teeth infested waters.. We're not that bright we humans are we.... the bubbles better be chilled thats all I can say.......

Must confess i can't remember a time i was less interested in this time of year. One assumes all residences within cooee of Goschs are either razed or in the process. Supposedly something happens Friday but if we still rely on this as a panacea we've gone nowhere. If anyone from this plays for us in 2018 we're in strife so ill only bother a quick perusal for familiarity prior to our festive supper and then its back to the Beanos !! The good wife has booked us into some silly snorkeling upon the Reef during our venture nth nextvweek ..i expect it's what we tourists must do...i wonder if its Mai Tais , Mojitos or Margueritas for lunch on such excursions. The wonder is deliciously exciting. Cricket these days seems as exciting as....crickets. Think im starting to understand Gils attraction to that Chukka past time. At least they have bubbles !! Well...i see the Trolls are up and at it in other threads. Think I'll leave that alone and savour the sanctuary of civilised , if obscure, nutterings of the varied eccentric raconteurs that on occasion take respite among us. There is of course all you lot too

Id be disowned Ernest should i ever wear a pair of 'budgies' Tbh. Id disown myself !!! In deference to impending trip north...and likelihood of spending much time in pool and with the departure of 'that bloke' i thought id buy some of his Boardies ...hoping they'd fit !! If they don't fit I'm cactus...if they do fit I'm...cactus....with a bar near a pool....am bound to be........?? They fit.... I'll still be cactus ??? At least wifey can innocuously ask around... "anyone seen my cactus hubby ?"

As Uncle Bitters has gone to such lengths to besmirch us all I should clarify my preference. My choice would normally lean towards bubbles and the office cooler is pictured. My preferred Veuve declined to associate with plastic and left it the tawdry Coldstream Chandon mob to provide. I'll slum it with Billy or Bollie if one must...and sometimes one....must. Bit warm for a red. Excuse me...have to pack for Jolly ol Port D Cheers big ears

At what point though is it reasonable to take the foot off 'developing' as it were and start 'doing' with what's developed ? It seems to me some FDs are so caught up in the notion of draftings and Munyanas that they never actually pull the trigger...its always 'next year' or such. I applaud Hinkley and Co for having a crack. I wish we would.

The suggestion MrH was you're a millionaire if you own a reasonable house. As the av price in say Melb is around 850k, but certainly a lot of housing is over the 1m mark, then if you own it... you're a millionaire. However few owner/occupiers actually own their houses outright. You are right though..its about equity.

Emphasis on OWN... mortgages dont count

You're doing ok though when $1m is chump change

And he had the intelligence and wherewithal to spot that opportunity and ability to develop it. Thats not "fluke", that's acumen. Fluke is tripping up on a tattslotto ticket laying on the ground ( one worth something ) Good management/Engineering practice IS to surround yourself with capable people. Successful people dont do that accidentally or by fluke. You made a bad call DS. That's fine. We all do.

Who are any others ?

Often when players are sought in this manner, second chance and not expensive, there is someone in a club flying his flag. Id be dead curious to know who his champion is at the Dees. I really dont see much here. That's my opinion of course.

is that Viv's sister ?

Anyone can be critiqued at any time. How much weight you or anyone wished to apply to it is another thing. Everyone gets evaluated. I hope Simon holds up the Cup one day. In reality though I just want SOMEONE to hold up that bloody cup. My little jury of one is out currently. When do you think a good time might be to appraise ? ( for me it's continuous )
