    Jack, enjoy the ladies.

    Everyone else, sounds like it's time for a beer! (Is there ever a situation when it's not time for a beer?). Jack, how about one before you go?

    did someone say time for a beer - I'll drink to that (Ok then try a couple)! If you must go Jack enjoy, but we'd rather not miss your wit and charm (me I'd get darned lonely with no one to shout at!) Anyway have a good one and see you soon, take care buddy

    Hey Charmc, don't get to worried 'tis all in jest - us old buggers got to have some fun eh! It's probably a pommy/limey/Brit thing but we actually enjoy calling each other names! But thanks for the concern anyway

    OK, walrus, let me get this straight: Jack's a pom, which is a limey wot went to Aussieland to play with the pythons and koalas, and you're a limey, which is a Brit wot stuck at 'ome ecept for occasional sojourns out to sea, where he spilled 'is cuppa tay, so 'e often went back to port, where 'e ordered a beer (warm, 'cuz 'es a limey). Right?

    I'll drink to that!

    There's us ozzies,,,, and then there's all the rest. That's all you need to know.
    Poms/Limeys..Englands gain and our lose when they come over here.
    Talk funny, have funny names for stuff. Still think they can play cricket, only bathe on Sundays, oh the list could go on and on. ;-)

    You seem a bit confused Charmc. I havnt even got on the ferry to Thailand yet and your losing it. its a 1 hour --Malaysia to Thailand, then a 1500 klik drive to Bangkok and through the other side.

    Your in charge remember! Dont let that limey 'walruss' start to take your position of you.

    You know what teaboys on tug boats are like. Always trying to work thier way up to the bridge with nothing more than a soggy tea bag.

    Look fella's as long as I got the teabag I can tax it right! the Pom's in charge - al you other guys are from the penal colonies, guess that would make you pirates - jees have I got some problems here! But as long as I have the teabag I'm OK? Yes? It's this age thing, I think?

    "Iceland: Beer Day (March 1st) - National Beer Day celebrates a 75 year long prohibition of beer which ended on March 1st, 1989. Highly festive celebrations are held at pubs, restaurants, and clubs all around Iceland, as now Icelanders are one of the world's leading beer drinkers."

    Some (lots, really) of you European and Ozzie types make fun of us Americans. At least it took us a lot less than 75 years to figure out that Prohibition was a lousy idea!
