    THE NEXT YEAR THREAD Jan 1st 2010

    Rags - I'm sorta going to keep out of this one because it's likely to turn political and that isn't good. Your first comment: I guess this is classed as a 'domestic' and would be of no interest to India's media and/or government. Your excerpt re Garg - there have been quite a few ugly attacks on Indian students/taxi drivers of late so I can understand India's reaction. We'd do the same if the situation was reversed.

    So let me just say - eating in a Greek restaurant in 1984 qualifies you, unreservedly, to be an honorary Greek of the highest order.

      I have been to Athens, Naxos and Corfu.
      And I think the greeks have the BEST pizza.
      Does this count?

      PS- I cannot comment on any Indian story as I have no information nor have I been there or eaten any Indian food recently- although I like it very much.

        I've been to Greece and eaten Greek.
        I have been to India and eaten Indian.
        Never been to Melbourne or even Victoria.
        Does this make me unAustralian enough to be Greek ?

            Isn't it funny how you get these little happy clappy moments when you're a sober girlie ? (or blokey)
            I just realised I've watched entire shows, and indeed series, recently.....and remembered the lot....first time in forever........

                  Sorry if I sound like a wanker.
                  Just had a nice little trip down memory lane. Lots of warm fuzzies.
                  I'm sure there's people with greater travel experiences.

                    Yep Bridge, those little happy clappy moment's are nice, aren't they. I appreciate lot's of the 'little' things these day's. Such a pleasure. Soooo much beauty around. There are NO negatives in being sober. It's just totally all great.

                        Customer Rick and Phil headed offshore last weekend of search of a mako before the banning kicks in. The boys began their berley trail in 64 meters of water before hooking and landing a 70kg mako shark. It was Phil?s 1st.

                        SILVER LEAVES:

On one trip his clients managed to catch and release over 50 Snapper. Silver whiting and scad proved to be the most productive baits used.
                        Barry has also found similar success while fishing in 17-20m of water. Last weekend, Barry managed 3 Snapper ranging 3-4kg?s. He found silver whiting and trevally fillets worked well.
