Re: Ozfest 2008
Apologies to all for my no-show last night! Not 100% at present! Glad you had a good one Graham!
I'm sure we'll catch up very soon!

Re: Ozfest 2008
You missed a good one Greg, but rest up and we'll get together real soon. Highlight of the night was Aitch buying a beer for Darren, me and himself. I laughed long and hard when he brought across 1 small glass of beer and 3 straws!! 
Re: Ozfest 2008
Hey Graham, glad to see that you made it safely.
I just stumbled across this thread, (thinking when I saw it before that it was about Ozzy Osbourne).
Now if you will excuse me I must start work on several hundred retaliatory "Graham Masks".

Go on Graham, go for it, I have seen your 'Tat' plenty of times, not sure if I want to see the other though.

Re: Ozfest 2008
It's pretty quiet over here......... I think Graham is hiding from me!!
Either that or Trotty's filling him up until the early hours and he's lying low for the rest of the day!

Re: Ozfest 2008
Howard, Do you think they are going to lay low from Mon-Thurs? Haven't heard a peep out of them. Either Graham has severe jet-lag or you weren't home when they made their one phone call for help...
Re: Ozfest 2008
Hey Aitch
Have you checked the local jails?

Re: Ozfest 2008
After a full SES and police search the kidnappers have been located on the Great Ocean Road - a few hundred kilomtres from Melbourne. Apparently Graham is safe but I hope Trotty's all cashed up...... the search planes and helicopters cost $20,000 per hour!!
They have reluctantly been brought back to civilization (in handcuffs and manacles) and are expected to make an appearance at the Old Melbourne Gaol today. I'm told that kidnapping a foreign Forum member is considered a heinous crime with the maximum penalty being confiscation of all Rickenbacker instruments over the age of 3 months!
The magistrate has called me and would like some guidance on a lesser penalty as he considers the maximum a little harsh under the circumstances. Any suggestions on a suitable penalty from forum members would be most welcome

Re: Ozfest 2008
A suitable penalty you say. Three weeks of no Aussie Rule's Football and Darren and Graham have to submit to playing a "gasp" non Rick at the next jam for at least one song.
That should do it. It may be a bit harsh but hey ,when you do the crime.........you do the time.

Re: Ozfest 2008
Just got back from a 2 day trip down The Great Ocean Road. Spectacular scenery all topped off by an equally spectacular thunder storm! We stayed overnight at a lovely cottage in the Otway National Park. It was a magical little spot. We got up early for a walk in the forest which was great. When we got back Darren made me his signature breakfast, which he titled "Pascoe Pancakes". I'll leave Darren to explain
Off for a Melbourne city tour tomorrow............can't wait!!
