Lemons are bit on the dear side at the moment anyway, but don't worry, i'm sure you'll be over the moon when they arrive.
Accept the fact there there may be a few points that you'd have liked to have been a bit better, but if this is the case, you'll sort it out for sure, much to the envy of many of us here.
Keep us posted, we're all very interested.
Kind Regards

An attorney arrived home late, after a very tough day trying to get a stay of execution for a client who was due to be hanged for murder at midnight.
His last minute plea for clemency to the governor had failed and he was feeling worn out and depressed.
As soon as he walked through the door at home, his wife started on him about, 'What time of night to be getting home is this? Where have you been?' 'Dinner is cold and I'm not reheating it'. And on and on and on. Too shattered to play his usual role in this familiar ritual, he went and poured himself a shot of whiskey and headed off for a long hot soak in the bathtub, pursued by the predictable sarcastic remarks as he dragged himself up the stairs.
While he was in the bath, the phone rang. The wife answered and was told that her husband's client, James Wright, had been granted a stay of execution after all. Wright would not be hanged tonight. Finally realizing what a terrible day he must have had, she decided to go upstairs and give him the good news.
As she opened the bathroom door, she was greeted by the sight of her husband, bent over naked, drying his legs and feet.
"They're not hanging Wright tonight," she said.
To which he whirled around and screamed, "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WOMAN, DON'T YOU EVER STOP?"

In the days when you couldn’t count on a public toilet facility, an English woman was planning a trip to India. She was registered to stay in a small guest house owned by the local schoolmaster. She was concerned as to whether the guest house contained a WC. In England, a bathroom is commonly called a WC which stands for “Water Closet”.
She wrote to the schoolmaster inquiring of the facilities about the WC. The school master, not fluent in English, asked the local priest if he knew the meaning of WC. Together they pondered possible meanings of the letters and concluded that the lady wanted to know if there was a “Wayside Chapel” near the house . . . a bathroom never entered their minds.
So the schoolmaster wrote the following reply:
Dear Madam,
I take great pleasure in informing you that the WC is located 9 miles from the house. It is located in the middle of a grove of pine trees, surrounded by lovely grounds. It is capable of holding 229 people and is open on Sundays and Thursdays. As there are many people expected in the summer months, I suggest you arrive early. There is, however, plenty of standing room. This is an unfortunate situation especially if you are in the habit of going regularly.
It may be of some interest to you that my daughter was married in the WC as it was there that she met her husband. It was a wonderful event. There were 10 people in every seat. It was wonderful to see the expressions on their faces. We can take photos in different angle.
My wife, sadly, has been ill and unable to go recently. It has been almost! a year since she went last, which pains her greatly. You will be pleased to know that many people bring their lunch and make a day of it. Others prefer to wait till the last minute and arrive just in time. I would recommend your ladyship plan to go on a Thursday as there is an organ accompaniment. The acoustics are excellent and even the most delicate sounds can be heard everywhere.
The newest addition is a bell which rings every time a person enters. We are holding a bazaar to provide plush seats for all since many feel it is long needed. I look forward to escorting you there myself and seating you in a place where you can be seen by all.
With deepest regards,
The Schoolmaster
The Woman fainted reading the reply…….. and she cancelled her trip to India!!!! -
Hi Frank,
I love this one too. It's just so similar to The Smiths I posted 18/10/10:laugh:
Gee, that photographer is a busy man!
I'm envious of him, he seems to have all the luck, but he seems to be panting harder this time. Must be all that jogging :confused:
Maybe we also need a pre-post check list, but these things happen:clap:
Enjoy your weekend.
Regards

The Captain whose battery was running a bit low and could'nt hear right, responded,
"Yea come to think of it I have two S-neakers and they can get pretty high this time of year".
Nanna replied, "He said Seneaca's dear, your just not listening".
"Mine did'nt come cheap, i'll have you know, I'm a man of means and they have a Reebok label on them".
Making allowances for his advancing years, she simply smiled diplomatically and said "Just go and have a fly in your Jabiru, or, was it a BoxKite"?
"You can come too, he said. No strings attached, This Time"----------so

This man's dream and efforts are to be admired.
For all of us who have aviation in our hearts, we would have to have feelings for a poor man with such determination.
I sincerely that one day he safely fulfills his goal.

Congratulations Sloper, you must be feeling on a high.
The hard part is coming to a decision in the first place.
Gary Morgans offerings look top shelf, and if my pockets were deeper, it would give me a lot of pleasure to make a post like yours.
Keep us posted, but don't burn too much midnight oil during construction..

All around Bankstown Airport the green bits seem to be being replaced with concrete and "for lease" signs, having driven many organisations out through financial greed.
I understand that any private organisation has to keep the "bean counters" happy, but it sure seems to come at a pretty high price to many who have been operating there successfully for many decades.
You only need to have a chat with the likes of Ray Clamback or many others affected by their grab for land to turn into extra $$$. The way many have been treated by BAL is beyond reproach.
The roadway on the western side near the golf course has been closed for quite a long time now, and I understand the official reason given, was that the road needed maintenance. I specifically checked the road only yesterday, and it looked as good as it's ever been. However, there's a lot of work going on the green bit behind it, which is being dug up probably for more concrete strutures, unless i'm wrong.
It's really sad to see vital infrastructure for a supposedly modern city bastardised in this way.
If they recognise that they could have done things better, good on them, it's about bloody time. Hopefully they can retrieve the situation before all is lost.
Before too long, anyone wanting to come to Sydney, will have to come by road, or boat.
Would'nt it be great if we had a government who had the balls and forsight to stipulate that what few airports we have left, be restricted to orgaisations involved in aviation related activities, instead of carpets, hammers and nails, and dancing schools etc?.

Though they like to keep it a bit hush hush, many on here have one, but tuck it in the bushes out of sight behind the hangar :gerg::gerg::gerg:.

You make some very good points there Nev (as usual)TBO's have to be earned not just stated by a hopeful manufacturer, to be valid. NevThe engines in my sons cars never seem to last like mine do (hopefully he'll figure it out one day). despite telling him so much depents on the nut behing the throttle.

and added that "I suppose thats only to be expected, because most were getting on a bit".....................whatever she meant by that?

A little boy and his grandfather are raking leaves in the yard. The little
boy finds an earthworm trying to get back into its hole. He says, "Grandpa,
I bet I can put that worm back in that hole."
The grandfather replies, "I'll bet you five dollars you can't. It's too
wiggly and limp to put back in that little hole."
The little boy runs into the house and comes back out with a can of hair
spray. He sprays the worm until it is straight and stiff as a board. Then
he puts the worm back into the hole.
The grandfather hands the little boy five dollars, grabs the hair spray, and
runs into the house. Thirty minutes later the grandfather comes back out and
hands the little boy another five dollars.
The little boy says, "Grandpa, you already gave me five dollars."
The grandfather replies, "I know. That's from your grandma."

The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate
father to start their family. On the day the surrogate father was to
arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and said, "I'm off. The man should be
here soon" Half an hour later, just by chance a door-to-door baby
photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale.
"Good morning, madam. I've come to...."
"Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you," Mrs. Smith cut in.
"Really?" the photographer asked. "Well, good. I've made a speciality of
babies"
"That's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat"
After a moment, she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"
"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the
couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is
fun too; you can really spread out!"
"Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work for Harry and me"
"Well, madam, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But, if we
try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven different
angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results"
"My, that's a lot of....." gasped Mrs. Smith.
"Madam, in my line of work, a man must take his time. I'd love to be in
and out in five minutes, but you'd be disappointed with that, I'm sure"
"Don't I know it," Mrs. Smith said quietly.
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his
baby pictures.
"This was done on the top of an open top tourist bus in Sydney"
"Oh my God!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed, tugging at her handkerchief.
"And these twins turned out exceptionally well, when you consider their
mother was so difficult to work with"
"She was difficult?" asked Mrs. Smith.
"Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to Centenial Park to get the job
done right. People were crowding around four and five deep, pushing to get
a good look"
"Four and five deep?" asked Mrs. Smith, eyes widened in amazement.
"Yes," the photographer said, "And for more than three hours too. The
mother was constantly squealing and yelling. I could hardly concentrate.
Then darkness approached and I began to rush my shots. Finally, when the
mosquitoes began nibbling on my equipment, I just packed it all in."
Mrs. Smith leaned forward. "You mean mosquitos actually chewed on your,
um......equipment?"
"That's right. Well, madam, if you're ready, I'll set up my tripod so we
can get to work."
"Tripod?????"
"Oh yes, I have to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big for
me to hold for very long. Madam? Madam? ....... Good Lord, she's
fainted!!"

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. This is your very own Captain Assif welcoming both seated and standing passengers on board.
We apologize for the two-day delay in taking off, which was caused by the current severe cyclonic conditions, and partly due to the search for a missing tyre and delay in getting stock-feed from the catering section for the annimals on board.Tissues in the seat pocket can be used to wipe any rain leaking through the windows, and you can use these with our complimentrys.
This is flight 717 to Mumbai. Landing there is not guaranteed, but we will end up somewhere in India. And, if luck is in our favour, we may even be landing on your very own village!
The company has an excellent safety-record. In fact, our safety standards are so high, that even terrorists are afraid to fly with us! It is with much pleasure,I announce that, starting this year, over 30% of our passengers have reached their destination.
If our engines are too noisy for you, on passenger request, we can arrange to turn them off. To make your free fall to earth pleasant and memorable, we serve Complimentary DHARU and Wada pavw. For our not-so-religious passengers, we are the only airline who can help you find out if there really is a God!
We regret to inform you, that today's in-flight movie will not be shown as we forgot to record it from the television. However, for our movie buffs, we will be flying right next to British Airways, where their movie will be visible from the right side of the cabin windows.
There is no smoking allowed in this airplane. Any smoke you see in the cabin is only the early warning system on the engines telling us to slow down, and the oil leaks are making a natural progression!
In order to catch important landmarks, we try to fly as close as possible.
For the best view, if however, we go a little too close, do let us know. Our
enthusiastic co-pilot sometimes flies right through the landmark!
Kindly be seated, keep your seat in an upright position for take-off and fasten your seat-belt. For those of you who can't find a seat-belt, kindly fasten your own belt to the arm of your seat. And, for those of you who can't find a seat, do not hesitate to get in touch with a stewardess who will explain how to fasten yourself to the excess baggage, pet goats, or familly bullock located in the aisles.
Please now be holding your Bible, Copy of Koran, or, lucky 50 Rupees Grand Lottery ticket in your right hand, as we prepare for take-off
