Safety of Pentaxians comes first...........best not to indulge in masses and masses of "Pizza and red wine" without a medical professional in attendance................

And who would look after Sandy? I believe he's partial to red (and Pale Ale).

Whilst not recommended, Sandy could fall back on the "onsite" retired postal worker, I've express posted people when necessary in the past (not the best idea in case or emergency though, as Goolwa is outside of Australia Post's next day guarantee range...... so effectively you could waste a perfectly good satchel)

On a more serous note..... "DBS" or Dave was bringing red wine down from the Clare Valley wine region...... sad sad... (that we won't meet Dave....off course)

Oops...note to self..... cancel the exotic dancers.....

You guys really need to plan better! I mean there wasn't even mention of spirits or desert!

p38arover · 05-09-2016, 02:11 AM

Noel, are you sure you won't go postal?

Greta Pontarelli probably fits with our age group.

Goolwa is on the Murray, not out in the desert!

What the heck, Sandy? Don't they give you any off duty time?

And I was guessing Josephine Baker, Ron. How wrong I am!

Hi Noel

Sorry to hear that it's a non event !!

Maybe we can move it to Sandy's work,

We can bring the anasthetic ( wine & beer ) and extra patients ( exotic dancers ) for Sandy to not feel left out .
