Last post of 2008

Hi folks,

Christmas has gone and New Year is approaching fast..... We cooked a goose again this year but unlike the fat juicy British kind which are reared for consumption the Australian version was reared for the Olympics.
Mom (Neubauer) is living it up in Singapore while the kids make more noise than my 100W(rms) stereo. Australia have fleeced me again by charging me regional "tax" for my motorcycle after I just paid national "tax" on arrival, and I thought we were taxed in old Blighty. (Death and Taxes an all that!)

It was also my birthday and if it were not for my birthday cake (see below) I would never have known I'm on the wrong side of 30.
It's time to chill for a few days before work starts in earnest and 2009 gives us our surprises.


Christmas tradition intact
