NEW YEAR ----- Let's make it great!!!

Post by Danny_Alvarez »

Hi people, I would like to say hello to everyone.... i came back from the holidays break today, back to the daily grind. I wanted to extend to everyone the best of wishes for the new year. I hope you all have a fantastic new year and that all your wishes come true.

I would also like to see us argue less and co-operate more. Being different is part of the beauty of the world but just because we are different it doesn't mean we have to belittle each other.

So once again I raise my glass (queensland rum + coke , if u must know) and i wish you a great 2011.

cheers,

Danny,

Where do you live in Queensland?

I gather you haven't been involved with the floods?

Happy New Year!

John.

John I am 24 kilometres south from the centre of Brisbane city. Brisbane is the capital of Queensland and the third largest australian city. I live in a fairly high area and thank god we have been spared but 60% of the state is under water :(

How's the weather up there? i had an acquantaince trapped in heathrow for 5 days, but they made it home for xmas so it's all good in the end.

I hope u have a great new year John :)

cheers

Danny,

Weather mixed here. We had to cancel a meeting last night because of snow. Today it is raining.

Send me your house address and I'll send you a Lancashire Checkers Newsletter.

John you will not believe this .... it is very spooky , but i received your newsletter yesterday. It was in an a4 size envelope with 3 stamps of HRH Queen Elizabeth, and a computer printed label with my name and addy. I am still reading it, and i am very grateful. :D

I will still message you my address but find out because if you havent sent it.... this is spooky :shock:

Danny,

This is certainly spooky. I can't understand why I have no record of your address.

Anyway, hope you like the newsletter!

John.
