Hi all,

as I'm heading away on Wed afternoon to campsit, I thought I'd send you all Christmas wishes now. We are lucky enough to be spending Christmas & New Year camping with some fantastic mates and we are looking forward to the "break" and I"m sure there'll be many laughs, late nights and star gazing.

So, to those of you I won't be seeing have a very happy Christmas and a very safe and happy new year , to those of you who have had some sadness and heartbreak in your life this year, here's hoping that Christmas provides you with some happiness and the new year ahead is a brighter one.

and finally to those of you who we were lucky enough to meet this year, it was great putting faces to names and forming friendships and we are hoping that in 2006 we will be able to meet some more forumites.

take care everyone, have a great Christmas & New Year

Lyn

Happy Yuletide greeting to you and yours too Mrs Al, we went out for lunch yesterday and Paul was given a motorbike, WOOHOO he was marginally stoked. Imogen learned to ride the rideon mower and then took to it like a penguin to cod.

What a year eh, next year and those to come will no doubt be different and better one hopes.

Hope your campsitting works a treat, now go, swim and be merry for the Hindenberg is but a blimple on the memories of flight

Have fun all........

We are more thsan screen names........

We are family

I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up ev'rybody and sing

Ev'ryone can see we're together
As we walk on by
(FLY!) and we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie
(ALL!) all of the people around us they say
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're giving love in a family dose

(CHORUS x2)

Living life is fun and we've just begun
To get our share of the world's delights
(HIGH!) high hopes we have for the future
And our goal's in sight
(WE!) no we don't get depressed
Here's what we call our golden rule
Have faith in you and the things you do
You won't go wrong
This is our family Jewel

All I can taste is champagne
When it hits the brain like cocaine
Spinning around and around
I can't get up without your help
I'm falling down

All I can taste is champagne
Another day down the drain
Sleeping around and around
I can't wake up without your help
It's over now

You want it
You need it
You can't explain
You fight it
You feed it
You can and I can live without you
Moving on without you

Love is like Novocain
And it leaves a little stain
The beauty in all this pain is I can't get away from you
So pull me down and don't make a sound

You want it
You need it
You can't explain
You fight it
You feed it
You can and I can live without you
Moving on without you

All I can taste is champagne
Dancing away down my veins
Spinning around and around
I can't get up without your help
I'm on the ground

Somebody help me
I'm loosing everything when I'm without you
Doing it without you

All I can taste is champagne
Another day down the drain
All I can taste is champagne

All I can taste is champagne

IN A PLATE hahahahahahhahahahah

The last wombat in Mecca. Take 1.

There's some things I can't find
Some are better left alone
There are few things I won't find
Some are better left alone
Like that bulldog in the bathroom
Like that wombat on the phone

As I float in my leer jet
Without a sling shot or a shield
As I hang in my leer jet
Without a shotgun or a shield
Hey, a flying saucer wobbled past
With a bulldog at the wheel
Yeah

Can you give us a description
Said the air force on the phone
Can you certify you've seen this
Said the air force on the phone
No, but here's his passport
And his teeth mark's on the phone

If I take a long vacation
And nail my bulldog to a wall
If I leave this smoggy nation
And nail my bulldog to a wall
If my bulldog keeps his mouth shut
Will you remember me at all

and my FAV EVER

Fat and docile, big and dumb
They look so stupid, they aren't much fun
Cows aren't fun

They eat to grow, grow to die
Die to be et at the hamburger fry
Cows well done

Nobody thunk it, nobody knew
No one imagined the great cow guru
Cows are one

He hid in the forest, read books with great zeal
He loved Che Guevera, a revolutionary veal
Cow Tse Tongue

He spoke about justice, but nobody stirred
He felt like an outcast, alone in the herd
Cow doldrums

He mooed we must fight, escape or we'll die
Cows gathered around, cause the steaks were so high
Bad cow pun

But then he was captured, stuffed into a crate
Loaded onto a truck, where he rode to his fate
Cows are bummed

He was a scrawny calf, who looked rather woozy
No one suspected he was packing an Uzi
Cows with guns

They came with a needle to stick in his thigh
He kicked for the groin, he bleep in their eye
Cow well hung

Knocked over a tractor and ran for the door
Six gallons of gas flowed out on the floor
Run cows run!

He picked up a bullhorn and jumped up on the hay
We are free roving bovines, we run free today

We will fight for bovine freedom
And hold our large heads high
We will Frun free with the Buffalo, or die
Cows with guns

They crashed the gate in a great stampede
Tipped over a milk truck, torched all the feed
Cows have fun

Sixty police cars were piled in a heap
Covered in cow pies, covered up deep
Much cow dung

Black smoke rising, darkening the day
Twelve burning McDonalds, have it your way

We will fight for bovine freedom
And hold our large heads high
We will run free with the Buffalo, or die
Cows with guns

The President said "enough is enough

These uppity cattle, its time to get tough"
Cow dung flung

The newspapers gloated, folks sighed with relief
Tomorrow at noon, they would all be ground beef
Cows on buns

The cows were surrounded, they waited and prayed
They mooed their last moos,
they chewed their last hay
Cows out gunned

The order was given to turn cows to whoppers
Enforced by the might of ten thousand coppers
But on the horizon surrounding the shoppers

Came the deafening roar of chickens in choppers

We will fight for bovine freedom
And hold our large heads high
We will run free with the Buffalo, or die
Cows with guns

Dana you legend

Hope you (and everyone else) has a great Christmas and lots of joy in the New Year.

It was good to meet some of the "famous names" on EO during the year and I'm looking forward to catching up in more exotic locations next year (not to say that 4WD shows and picnic areas aren't fun but.....)

All the best
