Sounds like a troll climbing out of a deep hole. Suggest you climb back into it

Gasping like a hooked Kahawai and caught only on light spinning gear.

Dry your eyes Princess you will survive once chucked back.

Kiss Kiss...

LOL.

:rolleyes:

The results of the first referendum are out. My choice came second , but it was very close. We now have a face off between the present flag and the chosen one with another vote in March.

My pick is that it will be similar to when Australia voted for a Republic...very close , with the present flag being the winner.

We will have to wait till March to see what happens.

All it needs is to replace that ratty fern with a burning passport and a one way ticket out of there like the smart majority have already done.

PERFECT.

A couple more sea days. Now this cruise was heavy on sea days, about 20, but that was fine by us, one of these sea days was the Beautiful Mrs Gut's birthday.

 

Some may remember I was hoping to do chefs table or ultimate balcony for this, however Mrs G had other plans she wanted a burger under the stars,nso being a sensible man, that's what we did.

 

As previously indicated we just did our own thing in Darwin a visit to some of the bomb ruins and cyclone sites.

 

Hot and humid.

 

It was here that I made one ladies day, when DW asked a question and I responded bug...d if I know, as you do, lay was so excited because she had Ben told she may hear an Aussie say it, so at least I made someone happy. Wasn't Mrs GUT I can never make her happy.

 

Darwin was our daughter's birthday also the day she got her Uni results (which lead to the thread Guts Bragging).

 

Interesting that while walking along the jetty the water enclosed by the jetty was teaming with sharks, must have been at least 20.

Those pesky solicitors/lawyers are everywhere these days... :eek:

Should be a law against it! :p

:cool:

No mention of lovely Snowtown only 87 miles north of Adelaide, Terry?

Can't imagine why! :( :rolleyes:

Very popular with serial visitors just as long as you avoid the barrel storage areas I hear... :eek:

Any ship with my clothes hanging in the wardrobe , cheers, Buzz.

For cruise passengers, Myki can be purchased at the Beacon Cove IGA supermarket beside the Port Melbourne tram stop across from Station Pier.

Visitor Packs may be available at a counter setup inside the cruise terminal. The 109 is the only route at Station Pier and takes you into the CBD. Take the 109 back from Collins St heading to Port Melbourne.

I think the shuttle bus charges now. But all the trams once you get into the city are free. But beware they are crowded especially at lunchtimes.

.

What about if I want a Styki before I take the Myki? :confused:

Don't worry I'll Wiki it! :D

:cool: r :p

.

.

Perhaps it is more of a 'storm in a Melbourne cup'.:p

.

By the way Mic what do you like in the "Mexican standoff" Cup? :confused:

:cool: r

.

.

Perhaps it is more of a 'storm in a Melbourne cup'.:p

Just wait five minutes and it will be sunny in Sunbury, flurries in Flemington or blowing a gale in Balaclava... :D

:cool: r

.

.

That is excellent news. Good riddance two down, two to go... :eek:

The smelly tired old rust buckets Sea & Sun deserve P&O ownership as well imo. ;)

That would make my day as long as they stick with the two Japanese gem class ships Diamond and Sapphire in rotation with the two Crown classed Emerald & Crown. :D

:cool: r

Should ad.

 

Since we are bragging after all.

 

She finished the Double degree and the Graduate Diploma in 5 years (the normal time for just the double degree) and worked full time, and had surgery and kept up a social life.

 

With a work ethic like that it's pretty clear who she takes after.

 

 

Her mum.

Hail Caesar :D

Congrats mate you two sure made a rare beauty there. :)

Long may she make you both proud parents.

The Miller SS-36 "Sabre-six/hot-shot" 36in Stock Prod...

Absolutely indispensable for any cruise over 21 days, particularly useful around all elevators, in-laws, offspring on sugar highs or anyone who complains about anything within earshot of your holiday high etc. :eek:

:cool: r

.

.

So you're a fan then? :p

G'day Gut

I hear you're close to bon voyaging again?

Lucky you! Where to this time?

Just one of my pet peeves amongst the very many gumpy old men head shakers, mate lol...

You'd think after a three month self imposed net, techno, hiatus I'd be a mellow fellow, lol...

cheers, r

Harsh.:cool:

G'day Mic

How was the latest trip?

You were sorely missed.

Harsh but fair, lol. :D

I just find it absolutely hilarious that usually the biggest complainers about bad coffee are those that drown it in milk and then either proceed to shovel upwards of 3,4,5 spoonful's of refined, raw, sugar or some variation of chemical additive like sweet & lo into their beverage but proclaim to all and sundry that they are a coffee lover and isn't this coffee bad! rotflmao!

No you are a lover of a coffee scented milkshake that you are sucking through a sugar cane straw or chemical laced bio product derivative you brain dead bint. :p

End of rant.

:cool:

.

Thanks 3littkepigs I will check out that product, can you get it in Starbucks in Aust?

.

Over roasted, Over-Extracted, Over priced and Over here!

Starbucks American patron saint, Daddy Warbucks with his selection of four to five buck abominations...

Where is the barf bucket?

A pox on anyone who spends a red cent there...

:( :rolleyes: :eek:

Two and a half days of listening to people banging on about Family Law,

 

I only maintained my sanity (If I did, which many doubt) by calculating the hours till I cruise.

.

...............zzzzzzzzzz

:D

:cool:

.

.

I have never drunk like a fish.;)

.

How about fished like a drunk? :eek:

:cool:

.

.

I thought the Kiwis used the gumboots for another reason..........something about stopping the sheep from getting away;) ;) ;)

.

.

Which is exactly why those NZ farmers glue one wellington boot on top of the other...

There is no getting away from it, we all have to admit,

Ewe just can't beat that Kiwi ingenuity! :D

cheers r

:cool:

.

.

You Ozzies and your sheep....Oh Boy.

 

It was cattle being moved today, but I guess some townies dont know the difference.:D

.

There were 3 Aussie blokes and one Kiwi farmer in a king cab truck driving in New Zealand on Gypsy day.

The first man is an ecologist. The second man is a logician. The third man is a mathematician.

They all see a brown cow on the side of the road parallel to the truck.

The ecologist says, "Look! The cows in New Zealand are brown.".

The logician says, "No no. There is at least one cow in NZ that is brown."

The mathematician says, "You're both wrong. There is at least one cow in New Zealand of which one side appears to be brown."

The Kiwi farmer says "Ohhh look over there sex sheep!!! :eek:

chuuzzz cuzzzie brozzz

:cool:

Love it, there is no pulling the wool over you. :D

It's better to be seen and not herd. ;)

But the world gum boot tossing championships are just up the road from where I live at Stroud.

 

Gum Boots, Thongs and rolling pins.

.

The only thing I like throwing back are undersize fish and good stiff drink! lol...

Although I must get pay Tv for the N.Z. sheep-dog trials... :confused:

Cheers r

You Ozzies and your sheep....Oh Boy.
