I was actually tempted to put one in another thread a little while ago, but I spent the morning at the ADMA exhibition, and I'm almost out of badwill.

Well, he's learning from the master ...

So much for being out of badwill.

And I recieved by snailmail today an invitation to renew one of my domains. How nice of these kind people, offering to permit me to renew my domain registration for about $50/year through them, when I can do it through somebody I know and trust for just $12 or $13/year.

Do they think I'm stupid? I'm wanting to send this thing back to them, apparently unopened, but with a suitable abrasive comment inserted.

Maybe we can share a cab back to Bondi!!
I think wearing a long warm jacket will be the order of the day.
Last nite was 10* outside!!

Posted: **Wed May 24, 2006 4:33 pm**

cab ??

Public transport?

Me ????????

How uncivilised.

Actually, I don't know that I'll be going, but I may be required at a recording studio for some rehearsals that evening as well, and/but if I'm in town, my car is usually somewhere close at hand.

Last friday of the month is not good for me - http://www.criticalmass.org.au/sydney
But you could always wander thru Hyde park about 6pm and see a bunch of cyclists.

Posted: **Thu May 25, 2006 11:28 pm**

If that's the case, I might be wandering with the rumour and meeting people around 6.30 at the Opera House. :lol:

Posted: **Thu May 25, 2006 11:38 pm**

Not really.

More an issue of seeing some other people before hand.

No, he's the guy with the cracked bump :lol:

and he's always to show it off :lol:

Yes, it's cold here too! I don't know how cold outa there, in the city or near OH, the temp is more lower.

You can't just pulling the camera out and holding it long coz your hand both frozen, not interested though.

Good time to stay indoor with a nice bottle of red or just with few sips of Remy Martin XO Cognac.

The best time to get out and do night shooting is Sept thru Dec or January.

Posted: **Sat May 27, 2006 12:14 am**

Just got back.. cold... damn cold... might need to invest in some gloves for winter, Birddog, you got any special camera ones???

Nice to have meet some new faces as well.

Also Stubbsy brand new D2X sure is nice! I even took some shots on it!

Posted: **Sat May 27, 2006 12:53 am**

Too bad, I cant get to join in today...

Probabbly somewhere end of next month... When I'm done with my stuffs... :oops:

Posted: **Sat May 27, 2006 12:54 am**

Just got back too. It was cold, but not that gold geez!!
Ill post somthing when I get a chance...

Posted: **Sat May 27, 2006 1:55 am**

I have one quarter less petrol in the tank, so that means the trip home is complete.

Twas nice to meet the old people again and to see the new people too.

Posted: **Sun May 28, 2006 3:00 pm**

A great night and the cold was bearable. Sorry Chi & Wendell (& Adam?) for the hasty departure - time got away from us :oops:
