    Yeah saw a VIP guy here today too. Just a bit sad to me that you have to work on a Public Holiday. I mean I had to when I worked for the man. Now I am the man. Sometimes you need to ease to 5 and drop the wake a bit

    WOT EMAIL ?? Sorry I was out bush with the wife and kids having some TIME OFF on a PUBLIC HOLIDAY.
    "Can't" is a dirty 4 letter word.
    If someone says "Can't" , take the "T" off the end and brew it.
    Sip on a mugfull, relax, and take a look at what you've got left to work with.
