Open Season on Girlfriends!
.
Ah yes, this would have been at the 'tail' end of 1989 when, after having worked with the late Lloyd Lester on a seismic contract in the aptly named Morehead district of PNG, he dragged me out of the 5 star hotel I was staying at somewhere in downtown Sydney (insisting I stay with him and invest my earnings elsewhere) but .. not before trotting across the road to an apparently well-known pub where, I readily admit, the Aussie lasses displayed their congeniality in lavish measure.
Lloyd and I, with our new-found companions, retreated back to the hotel where .. well, that's another story. What I can say is that I was immensely impressed by the enthusiasm with which those indigenous to the continent embraced their visitors. Great memories - indeed still capable of putting a smile on my face to this day!
Even Savoia (I think i read somewhere 
) has met a few, in Kings bloody Cross ..

Brian----Love the poem---I may need to copy it out.... Kinda beats mine that I wrote for her:
SAS...
One did buy a new shirt, AND flew the fair maiden cross country and took her to the beach the other day, (during my 3 days off in the middle of a 27 day stint---oh the glamor of fire fighting)...
The "wheels are in motion" for an event in the near future.... She reads this thread, therefore details will be sketchy, but one will update the thread once said deed is done.....
I like your style
I love your class
But most of all
I love your ass...

Logger Jeans, Timber Beast braces, and cork boots are not the kind of attire you are in need of in the near future.

"Sure Honey Buns.....Take a few days off from work...I'll send ya a ticket! I'll put ya up in my Tent....the fishing is great....you'll get used to the bugs....oh...and don't fuss about your hair as the humidity is near a hundred percent....with a wet bulb of a hundred and six. I'll stock up on Hotdogs, Vienna Sausage, Saltines and Beer! Look for me in the fuel truck at the airport when you get in!"
Gordy Lad....you keep this up and I just might have more a chance than you think! I would have had her off to Barbados or some place in a five star resort.....forked up for her all day Spa visit and provided a chauffered limo for her shopping trip courtesy of my credit card.
We know about you Fire Pilots.....eating out is when you take home the MRE's and the closest you come to a shower is perhaps if you get a good rain shower....which in fire season is not often enough.

Not quacking for long me thinks. don't think I'll ask for a double on this round. lines from Casablanca jump into my head
So I took SAS's advice, bought a new shirt, took out many mortgages and put a ring on her finger.

your fairy tale is over
A Male Fairy Tale:
Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess, "Will you marry me?"
The Princess said, "No!!!"
And the Prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and banged skinny long-legged big-tittied broads and hunted and fished and raced cars and went to naked bars and dated women half his age and drank whiskey, beer and Captain Morgan and never heard bitching and never paid child support or alimony and banged cheerleaders and kept his house and guns and ate spam and potato chips and beans and blew enormous farts and never got cheated on while he was at work and all his friends and family thought he was frikin' cool as hell and he had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up.
The end.

Congrats Gordy. I am sure it will help with your multi tasking, you'll no doubt learn soon enough.
Don't worry about Rivet, he's spent too long in Darwin. spare a though for me, now I'll have to slip down the road and tell'im that chungwun that she bin miss outagin. Make sure you give that central Australia a miss when you hear about the big bushfires that are predicted there this year.

I can't stop chuckling after reading that.
Deed is done with wedding cake to prove it....
Some may recognize the cake from some rocks I stacked a few years back while working a fire..... Clearly stacking rocks is important to us....
For those who really want to waste 10 minutes of your lives, (video may or may not embed correctly but will play on youtube):
