    Default He follered me home ma, can we keep him??

    Here's a picture of our pet Canadian, straight from his ordeal with the rubber-gloved customs officials, (which probably explains why he's so happy looking!)

    Yes folks, MathewA has NO MORE SLEEPS to go!

    Pic taken midday, Brisbane International Airport.

    Can you find Mat's Muji now??

    Cheers,

    P (throwing down the "Welcome, Mat")

    His face looks familiar!

    Please welcome him in the true blue traditional way to see if he passes the test. Let's know the results

    May I suggest a half blind secret dovetail cutting competition about 1.30 a.m., just to see if he can handle himself with proper decorum and all.



    Welcome, Mat......... that's funny.

    Being Half Blind is the secret of course.

    I notice he hasn't changed his Avatar yet - what's he been doing?

    Welcome Mathew.

    Should I wait a day or two till he's over the jetlag, or get into it during drinks in the middle of the first session of the first Test on Thursday night??

    Cheers,

    Bitingmidge - just make sure that you worm him regularly, check him for ticks and all his vaccinations are up to date.

    Yeap, and judging by the guy in the background, I can guess where you had it hidden too.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    Sounds like a well oiled routine, obviously this is what happens to Squizz.

    Midge,

    Remind him that, when he wishes to use the preposition 'about', he should pronounce it like when you say 'a bout' [of 'flu, or whatever], not as though he is referring to an article of Mounties' footwear, as Canadians are prone to do

    Anyway, didn't you mention you might have an Open Day sometime soon? Seems like a good time to let us meet him; he certainly looks as though he might be dinky di in a year or two

    Sadly, due to my hectic travel schedule , I've had to delay the open day till latish September, I'll set the date shortly eh?

    He's been quite well behaved so far!

    Midge, don't let him near any power tools until you've explained that electricity runs the other way in the southern hemisphere. He may hurt himself. :eek:
    Drill bits rotate counter clockwise to drill a hole, clockwise to unscrew, and saw blades run the other way which is why we have the teeth on the back. I'll bet he doesn't know any of that
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.
