LOL. I'll be in Melbourne in from Friday night 3rd to Tuesday morning
7th of October. Should I bring it with me? Would you be likely to be
able to swap a few orange OHG springs and an X-450 to squarebore adapter
for it? Oh, and maybe an 88EA (adjustable restriction elbow) or 2? :-)

I believe that the Monday is not a public holiday in VIC even though it
is one in NSW. Would you like to take a trip to their bookshop if I
bring my membership card along? After all, if I'm going to dispose of
the 4th edition, I'll have to buy a newer one to replace it...

Is there going to be a BBQ? :-)

I'd like to try to track down an APA E160 as well but I suspect that I
might struggle to squeeze it into the car with the other stuff that I'll
have along. :-)

Hmm. Just remembered that I've gotta confirm the house sitter for while
I'm away.

I think that he was talking about my 4th edition. Already answered his
post...

Yep, I can't leave DisCo alone, neither can I Crime Investigation.

I think through a strange but complicated set of events I have free
Foxtel satellite.

My boxes can't transmit back and I think they dropped of their
list. Makes it a bit difficult to order Foxtel box office though.

Don't worry.

Once they discover that you're still getting the service you'll get a lovely
backdated bill

Apparently they don't know of the two boxen - they would have asked
for
them back.

If their microchip card has an expiry date, then all bets are off. My
boxen
cannot talk to them, it would not be possible using the dish I have,
they can
talk to me to disable my cards though (if that is a feature they
thought of).

Good luck explaining that theory to them. I'm sure they'll happily accept it
an move on

Maddingley Park in Bacchus Marsh is a possible location on the Sunday
afternoon 5/10/08 for lunch or maybe in a more central location nearer
to Melb?
Any other suggestions?

A bit like saying 'lewis hamilton made that corner in the mclaren at
180km/h, it's no big deal if someone else repeats the effort in a tarago
