Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

26th January 1788 saw the arrival of the first fleet on Australian shores, whereby settlement of this great country began! 220 years on, and i wish all my Aussie forum mates a very restfull and well-earned long-weekend "Australia Day Holiday"! My second daughter, Kylie is known as a Bi-centennial baby, being born in 1988!
This weekend also marks the anniversary of my 3rd year as a member of this remarkable forum/community! To all the amazing people i have met and conversed with, here and in person, thank-you for a wonderfull 3 years!
3 years, i have owned 4 Rics in that time,and enjoyed all of the wisdom, humor and friendship that i have found here!

Happy Australia day, my Aussie mates!

Cheers mates!!!!

A most Happy Australia Day, mates! Lift a quaff or three for me too!!

I was supposed to play at a gig tonight at my local, It's a pity I have to go to work instead.

It's ok really, we have not practiced and it would have sounded pretty dire (well actually, more dire than normal..)

I wonder when they will outlaw Australia day as being racist or somthing?

emac. (who is not racist)

Have a good one mates

Loafing around again eh Greg? Have a great long weekend mate. Give my best regards to all.

Brian

Yep! Having a quiet day..... the cricket's on the telly, the amp is switched on and the beer in the fridge is nice and cold...... bloody bewdy, mate!! Later on I'll fire up the barbie and throw on a few steaks and burgers for dinner!

Here you go...... Aussie flag, Aussie guitar, Aussie beer!
My son Pat is a bi-centennial baby also, Greg.

Thanks for the best wishes, all.

Loafing Brian???
Well i would have been, if Aitch had invited me around for the beers ,barbie and cricket!
Hopefully we'll all get together soon!(Severe case of Jam-itis)

Greg, you're welcome any time.... you know that!! If you're at a loose end tomorrow or Monday just let me know.

It looks like Ron is popping over next Saturday for a jam (usually 1pm to around 6pm) so why don't you join us?????

I've just stumbled across this thread. I think the best thing for me to do would be to head for the fridge for a beer, followed by a couple of Sambuca shots. Happy Australia Day

Happy Australia Day. I'll be thinking of you guys when I go out tonight.

Crud three hours to late... Happy belated Australia Day.. Hope you had a great one.

Ohhhh, saw this too late!!
I hope it was a happy Australia Day!! Cheers mates!!

Happy Australia Day to all of you!

You know, I used to consider myself an "ugly American" (no snide remarks after looking at my pic please ) in the sense that I'd been all over the world and never visited or lived anywhere I thought I would like better than the US....until I visited Australia. My wife and I are dying to get back there...
