Tick Tock Tick Tock.

As the seconds pass slowly to Beer O'Clock, the working week draws to a close.

I think it is time for an open thread, where we can raise any issues/stories that we might have missed in the week, or anything else that you might want to raise.

I am just off to meet my parents who are staying with us tonight before heading off on a 28-day around Australia cruise. I spoke to Mum last  night and asked her if they were all packed.

"Does not matter if we forget anything", says Mum "If we did we can just head home to get it at the first port of call"

Mum and Dad live just outside of Maitland - and the first port is Newcastle. :)

Chat amongst yourselves, be nice to each other - and I will enjoy a beer (or two) with my Dad tonight watching the Super 14.
