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!

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!! :lol:

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".


:D

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! :mrgreen:

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...

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!! :cry: :cry:

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! :twisted:

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 :lol:

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. :wink:

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 :lol:

Off for a Melbourne city tour tomorrow............can't wait!!
