Belinda,
Depending on how old you are,your grandfather and I may have been serving at the same time.I did meet many officers from other states.I bet he had many stories to tell,it was that kind of a job.

Well Port power won again last week.A good start to the season.
Regards.

Me too, Belinda. Have you heard *shock horror* it's been canned? I haven't watched it for years, but there's a lot of cranky current fans out there

I'm just glad I picked up the first 6 years or so on DVD while they were available

Belinda,
I can go back to 1967,and was based at Adelaide.There was a Ken Pearce also at Adelaide.The two names you mentioned does not ring a bell.
Regards.

"GO LIONS. BRISBANE LIONS WE'LL KICK THE WINNING SCORE!" ( It really is a bit silly fo a fight song eh?)

Hi Belinda

Yeah, apparently the company that was releasing them went broke. There's a fair bit about it here: http://www.billfans.com/forum/index.php?topic=430.0 (the thread was started in 2007, so you'll probably find the more recent news in the last few pages.) I think a couple of people had some luck picking them up on ebay.

(Notice I'm not saying much about the footy )

[steadmund Brand]

3-0!!!!!! whoo hoo bring on the Bulldogs!!!!!!

dont feel to bad Phryne.. the blues will rebound......but i must say.. feels good at the top of the ladder!!!

will right more later .. cant just yet.. hope you all had a great weekend and talk to you soon..

Have you heard of " Up There Cazaly"? Steadmund


Oh No not Bankrupt. I wonder if another company will take over. I hope so I don't want to have to pay collectors items prices for them
