Faith in humanity

Sometimes, just sometimes you read something like this and it restores ones faith in the human race;

Good ol' Aussies, they've been very kind to me without even meeting them :) (many of y'all know what I mean, I believe).

Having spent a couple of years Down Under in my youth I have a great affection for the Aussies. Wonderful people in a slightly mad way... probably where I got it from ;D

A very nice gesture... but surely it was intended to spend on beer- how could he risk offending this Australian by just giving it away? :D

Aussies are the nearest "British" Folks we get to meet outside of Great Britain....

...they even speak a version of our "Cockney" language!...;)... ;D...!

We exported most of them to Australia for Sheep stealing, Highway Robbery, Mutiny on the high seas, and various other illegal activities years ago... ;D...!

(I wonder if they still carry out those dubious activities?.....Bring out your chains!)... ::)... ;D...!

I am sure they are lovely Folks, (apart from a few we had on the FSX Forum a while ago, to spoil the illusion).

Cheers, all you Sports and Sheila's... ;D...!

Paul... ;D...!

Shame he gave the money away to "Charity"....Would have been better spent on buying a new Wooly Jumper, with Wool from an Aussie Sheep, to remember him by...;)...!

(That's what tight old Fozz would have done!..)...;)...!

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Thanks for a bright look, Mark.......... 8-)
