The No T$ No B$ Thread
I didn't attend the footy today nor did I even think about it until about 6.00 pm this evening. Today I had the privilege of attending a "special olympics" swimming carnival. Most of the competitors were Down Syndrome the the others had ID's of various types. The highlight for me was a 50 metre race where 3 0f the competitors had finished and the fourth was about 3/4 of a pool length behind. The crowd cheered the last person on and, as she came near the finish, the other three who were still in the water began to clap. I am a hard hearted bastard but this made me cry. Actually writing about it now is making me cry. It puts life in perspective.

You are on the money here WJ. Biffen actually runs a service that is not so much a happy hour but does guarantee a "happy ending". BTW. I have been trying to track Biffen down - if we don't hear from him soon i reckon he has (as the salvos say) been promoted to glory along with Lordweaver..

Had my last night in Saigon. Stayed at the New World Saigon Hotel - which I highly recommend btw. Anyway they have a " happy hour" 2 hours free beer/wine and food. Well I showed them a thing or two. I was very discerning and started at one end of the wine selection, one end of the food table and worked my way through. I had to instruct the young lady pouring the wine that a glass is best filled to the brim rather than that pretentious partially filled foolishness. Made a complete guts of myself of course. The locals were in awe! Certainly showed them what an Aussie can do. Those Viet Congs will think twice about invading us!

Greetings from Hanoi - no live footy here (except that Sheila's game) hot as .... . Two stories - my demons shirt attracted offers from a couple of local vendors - maybe they reckoned on cutting several local size shirts out of it. Entered a temple from the heat - I was lathered in sweat and no doubt florid. A little girl (5 or 6) looked at me and huddled close to her mum. I must have looked like some sort of ogre. I pulled a face at her and she started to cry - highlight of the day.
