Hm-mm; lights are on, but no seems to be home.

I'm round the back.

Ah-ha; it's dark back there.

[Uncle Dog]

5984

Just give me a hand with this wheelbarrow would you?

[deepsand]

5985

Followed by a nip of the good stuff?

[Uncle Dog]

5986

Only if you hold on with both hands.

To what?

I find it encouraging (and more than a little disturbing) to find that this thread is still moving along. Our dear Mr. Castle would be proud, indeed. (or possibly laughing his butt off at how easy it is to keep simpletons like us amused).

I've been long absent, and have missed much. I suppose I'll have to drop by more often... at least to lurk... and see what his Tubbiness is up to.

I keep a very short, highly exclusive list of individuals with whom I would very much like to enjoy a drink while the sun sets on the horizon. Tubby presently heads that list, as he has for some time.

I'm not sure why I think sharing a bottle with him would be so enjoyable or enlightening... I just do. Maybe because he gives a passable impression of being mad as a March hare. Or maybe because he doesn't really give a rip what anyone thinks. Perhaps both.

But for the meantime, he'll stay on the list. And in case (and this appears to be a REALLY big "in case") a certain individual makes good on his promise to deliver a bottle of Bruichladdich from Islay into my humble hands, I may just have to spring for a ticket to Gold Coast Airport and hire a car.

Just in case my will power isn't what it should be, Tubby, you might want to have a bottle of "whatever" on hand. It's a bloody long drive to your place, and I make no promises I'm not sure I can keep.

Carry on, lads!

Better to fly to Mt Isa and hire a 4 wheel drive . . It is not what many would describe as 'comfortable' here.

locals are possibly all mad . Recently a large Gum tree fell on a neighbors house - he merely said "GOOD! I wanted some wood for the barbecue" - funny! It is when you understand he was being totally serious.

The last US visitors here - hired a helicoptor to get out of the place and left the hire car in the street. We do have a one local block owned By an american - he is only in town about two days a year. . But he has Kajabbi listed as his official residence.

We can get many single-malts in the UK that are never exported. You are both on my meet-up list. I can't say it is very short, or highly exclusive. You might be mixing with plumbers, floor-layers, pilots, lawyers, and even journalists. But single-malts can make unlikely friends.
