and I had a Great Aunt Adelaide,
but I will be amazed if she starts posting on here.

Tec.

Tec - yes we have the Northern Territory but not represented on here. We had a niece and her family living in Darwin but they are now in Saudi Arabia on a 3 year working contract. They love it.

Sue, couldn't you nip up to Alice Springs, and Darwin to recruit a couple more posters?

Tec.

Well I could Tec but I really think that as the administrator of this thread and considering that a trip to NT is work related then it should really be all expenses paid. So you may have to do a whip around to finance the trip:-)) Sounds good to me.

Canberra?

Tasmania?

Any offers

Allan

Looks like a scouting trip is in order. Let me know when you've raised the money and I'll start booking:-))

Sue xx

It shouldn't cost that much Sue, I believe they have camels up there, you could take a nice leisurely stroll on a camel. Pitch a tent at night,
fantastic trip.

Tec.

I can contribute 1p from under the sofa cushion

Don't be such a skinflint Linda - I've heard that Yorkshiremen are "careful" with their brass - but really.

Tec.

Nice suggestion Tec and thanks a lot Linda:-)) Looks like I'm on my own.

Sue xx

Well as I'm getting the "look" I'd better get to bed.
Enjoy the day Down Under, Hi to Berona if you look in later,
sleep well Linda, and CC,
~~~~~~~~To Diane who's been in bed for hours,

Goodnight,
Tec.

I am sure Allan will contribute a cent

I am off to bed now, see you all tomorrow

Goodnight Tec - sleep tight.

I must be off too. I need to start my day.

Good night Poms and have a good day Aussies.

~~~~~~~~~~~to Berona, Persey, Dianne and anyone else looking in.

I’m not a smarty pants IT specialist either and used to get all confused with this “right click and go to” etc. So my son, who is an IT person and saves his mother’s stupidity regularly, taught me to highlight the text you want to copy, then hit CTRL C – go the the document where you want to put the text and hit CTRE V and magically the text appears in the new site. Pretty cool. I use it often. (PS That's how I just now put this post in. Very easy)

VCR????? I have one, can’t use it.

DVD???? I have one and still can’t get the hang of it.

BUT our TV carked it the other night with a mighty fizzing sound and a very large smell that took ages to disperse so we’re now looking at buying a new one. We figure at our age we need a bigger screen so it’s more money than we paid for the last one about 16 years ago. (As would be normal) I’d like to get the one with the built in DVD recorder player – OH is hmmmmnng and haaaaaaahhhhhhing about this. It’s a difference of $151 and he seems to think the other DVD will go onto the new TV OK. Maybe so. But it doesn’t record and often there are programmes on that I don’t get to see because we want to watch something else, or I’m at work, or it’s on late at night when I’m abed. So I might just have to put in a few more hours work and provide the extra to get what I want.

Linda; thanks for that information. I have enough trouble getting GR family tree right. And I’m building that one all the time. Such fun. My greatest thrill was to find my grandfathers missing brother’s family in Fiji and meet up with them here in Aust. I’m hoping to save the money to go to Fiji for another family reunion to meet up with the rest of the Fiji connection that couldn’t come to Aust. for the last reunion we had here. Had 2 so far and caught up with cousins that I hadn't seen in over 50 years !!!

I can suggest someone for Canberra. I have a rellie down there. The Aussie resident from the Fiji connection.

Goodnight to all of you people leaving. I’ll have to go soon, too. Got a couple of larrikin lorikeets roaming around my kitchen that I need to round up into their cage and feed. Only babies, but gee, are they a handful !! Then it’s on to the housework list that I have arranged for today.

Oh forgot to mention. Beginning of winter here. Forecast temp for today 21c to 28c. Not bad. Won't need a sweater today. P xx

Please stop talking about all this technology, it's bringing me out in a rash

I expect they're all at a party, why weren't we invited?

There's a good silent movie at my local fleapit, Pearl White, tied to a railway track while the wicked Jaspar looks on grinning.

I'm on the piano.

Tec.

Good evening/morning all

Good evening CC and Tec.

CC it's amazing there are certain things that I can do on the computer (even if it is a bit uncomfortable!!) but one thing I have never mastered is spreadsheets :0((

However, now that I have the time, I will give it a go!

Tec, have you found the missing chord yet?

Allan

Good Morning Allan,

Hope you're in galloping good form this morning.

Found the lost chord underneath the Unfinished Symphony.

Tec.
