Thanks for replying admin. And good to see thadocta back .
I never left - as NM pointed out, I spread myself around across a range of boards, and work weird and wonderful hours. I also don't feel the need to post unless I can offer something which hasn't already been provided, or to correct something which has been incorrectly posted, something which I haven't felt necessary for the last few days. Thanks anyway.

Dave

Me too. I have been blacklisted due to the high count of post padding.

At least one post was deleted from that thread before it was locked. The captain is quick to ensure that everyone returns to their seats very promptly in the event of turbulence.
YGPM. Thanks for the PM 'twas a nice gesture.

I would have loved to be at this do but when I looked on QF website there were no return flights MEL-ADL after 7:00pmish. Maybe I can make the next one if enough time is given to keep calendar free.

Can't get rid of me that easily. Very busy driving all over South Australia with no internet access.

Guilty as charged your honour.

3 days of golfing heaven. Barossa Valley, Victor Harbour and North Adelaide (north course) plus a trip ADL-PLO-ADL.

Good to see you back, JohnK.

While I'm not a golfer, I have been to the Barossa and Victor Harbour a number of times and love both places. Sounds like fun.

Also having driven down the Great Ocean Road to Victor Harbour and stayed there the night..a lovely spot, JohnK.

I've only just got back from MEL Wed PM - it was a real AFF/FT week:

every day - on phone to Dave 10 :-: Noble
weekend - wedding in Yarra Valley, upgraded by Hertz to a brand new Ford Falcon XR 6 (it had done 11 kms) - only humble #1 Club Gold. Thanks Hertz!!
Sun PM - upgraded to Suite (Room 1702) in MEL Hilton on a Premium Club $195 voucher. Thanks Hilton!!
Mon PM - drinks with IainF, serfty, mwenenzi, Clifford Reichlin and tuapekastar - with added phone calls from NM and Dave Noble; dinner with IainF as we were staying in the Holiday Inn - snagged a Suite there as well. Thanks Dave 10* Noble and Holiday Inn. Pity IainF missed out on his upgrade.
Wed PM - shared taxi to airport with IainF, ODU upgrade to J (points) and sat next to IainF, caught taxi with IainF, rescued IainF's mobile phone (thanks to taxi driver dropping it back to me)...

I'll get around to reading my last weeks' worth of threads/posts on the weekend.

Without doubt. Now thadocta and others in SYD, I'm trying to organise a trip to SYD for (nights) 26 and 27 Feb. Will confirm (in new thread) if I can organise and we'll do a meeting in SYD.
