ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

seems I did a Darren and sent messages out to all and sundry - what an interesting little exercise and if I missed you - so sorry - don't feel shunned. Thanks to those who pointed out my error anyone who hasn't yet done so - don't bother I have already given myself the dumb award for the week.

So sorry - please forgive

Don't get too cocky Marty remember a good woman always stands behind her man and Heathers a formidable force to reckon with.

Just Hope I never do a DARREN !!!! Good one mate.

Bob

Maureen did you have the added bonus of hearts I think that is what got most tongues wagging. Heather had never realised that you could add things to PMs so no doubt is taking full advantage of that now.

Well Marty I will never be famous for my poetry (except people saying how bad it is) so is being infamous better than no fame? Maybe I should ask Sir John Kerr (via a "Ouiji" board of course), I am sure he would have an interesting angle on that one.

Over the years of working in IT I have seen some interesting boo boos. People accidentally attaching the wrong photos, emails broadcast to the whole office when meant for someone special etc. I do a lot of work in schools and the Internet is all filtered and reports are generated on inappropriate requests. These are recorded along with the users name. One of the principals was searching for real estate agents on a computer and typed in "hooker" (for L.J. Hooker). A message appears on the screen with a dire warning (good catholic school) and the principal turns to me with a very embarrassed look on her face and said "lucky I am using the receptionists computer isn't it!"

I was at a conference in Queensland a couple of weeks ago and we had the speed skater Steven Bradbury as a speaker. Very interesting man and the amount of work involved to get to 4 Olympics Games is remarkable. What is he going to be remembered for? Doing a "Bradbury" is now in the Australian lexicon. He is a remarkable man and had a very good but unlucky career. His gold medal was a just reward for all his years of work.

Hey Bob I don't let Heather stand behind me unless I have checked what she is carrying! Three paces ahead is a safe distance that way I can hear her coming.

So How do I access this HOOKER site ?

Do they do home calls ?

OOHHH I see that's L J Hooker real estate an honest mistake just a bad choice of words.

See my mind thinks a poem for the principle would be fitting.

Bob

I didn't have hearts attached to the original message Darren but I sent them out to all who responded - just seemed the nice thing to do. Bob appreciated his - he told me so.

Maureen taking stupid pills is not a good thing to do, but always remember, never, ever take a laxative and a sleeping pill on the same night!
Vic

Well Vic that would be really stupid wouldn't it. One could be caught sleep running.

Don't think you would be running Maureen, more like a cheek clenching shuffle.

i used to walk the greyhound early in the morning and I do not know how many times I got caught short far from home. It would have looked funny at the public park toilets with this bloody great greyhound sitting outside the dunny and a lead stuck under the door.


When you gotta go ya just gotta go.
