Congratulations! 24 years is definately something to celebrate.

Now - EIGHT kids!!!!?!?!?!??!?!@#$%^! What, no one explained things to ya!? A secret wish to NOT go sailing, Shane??

Actually, I am sure your house full of giggles, laughs, and the odd spat, have filled your hearts with wonderful memories. Here's to at least another 24 years of even better ones.

I'm raising my glass. Blessings on you both.

Actually we did have some people explain "things" to us... doctor midwife minister parents friends dog down the road roo up the track you know the usual :rolleyes: But see were got into the practice makes perfect thing and well practicing sure made for perfeckshun... once the Joshy entered the world that was it!! Broke the mould :D

Actually even that almost didnt happen... there was the surgeon all ready washin his hands gown on theres the nurses holdin me down puttin the stay down straps on and theres me... FIGHTIN like the absolute demons of hell were bitin at me gronicles... which with the surgeon smilin and sharpenin his blade they were!... but then the slippery blonde sheila in the nurses uniform slipped past me lashin out leg and jabbed this bloody great horse needle into me bumcheeks and well...

No more hoonberries for us... weve done our Aussie duty an increased the population of true blue Aussies... so our place in Aussies future is assured with the promulgations of our love :cool:

yeah I know its been a trial for the poor wee dear but then shes had her moments too it wasnt all beer an skittles for me neither!! :eek: :D

Still its been great!! Joe mate Im seriously sorry for you Lisa and Tessy seriously... there have been times when no doubt shes wanted to just walk away from me and my manic phases its hard work I guess... probably the hardest thing in the world to be able to give an take and being able to stay sane while your partner goes over the top from time to time takes some doin on her part I guess... but still its been a wonderful life so far and will be just as grand for however long we have left on this earth and beyond... I seriously hope you and Lisa can sort it out for both of you not just Tessy its the greatest thing since sliced bread without a single doubt.

And no Debs the boats been on my horizon for more years than Jos been in my life... unless it was a subconscious thing? :p her highness inserting subliminal messages inside me head when I took me tinfoil hat and jocks of maybe??!!! :eek: :D

Thanks one and all :cool:
