Brooke do you intend to run this on Sept 7 evening time in Australia like last year. Sept 8th is my birthday and I don't intend to be stuck in front of a computer.

Yep -- September 7 at 9 pm Melbourne time.

Thats my Bday, but i usually get kicked out of all the pubs by 8pm on my Bday as its starts 12 hours prior so if i can be delivered and proped up in the den i hope to make it but i wont remember play it on the 8th and the 8th is my wife's Bday and i am glad its not then as the wife ack would be 10inch flak if i suggested we come home early so i can play the game.
Is this a walk on event?

It is an event open to all players, no registration needed. Also, people can show up late -- I don't close the doors at start time.

hahaha wow...must be a slow day for you on the BBS huh hahahaha

Forkits punctuation usually consists of swear words, probably better he doesn't punctuate. :cheers:

I thought this was gonna be about sheep.

Yep – it’s on again.
Brooke did a fantastic job of this last year and altered the time zone to suit - what a legend!
We were all “Bluey Truscotts” last time around as the evil foe tried to invade a small country that we invaded before them.
Am I in?
Does the pope wear a hat?
Are the Kennedy’s gun shy?
Do the Hemmingway’s get sad?
Does Tongs wear mint sauce as aftershave?
Des – why don’t you fly allies? – You can be like Fuji from McCales Navy (Google and Youtube that one mate).
And I hope the No.1 ranked squad will make it. They may wing up well but they don’t know what a “King Brown” or a “Winnie Blue” is.
Thanks again Brooke

I am not your friend or i would pull your head out of your ass!
When we get perks points for spelling or punctuation i would maybe care but for now its a bbs not a published novel.
