So what was it again that Darryl Kerrigan said? ............... Oh that's right - 'Tell'em they're dreamin'" - Jerry Seinfeld Tickets

I saw the guy about 20yrs and I loved the tv show but felt he wasnt very funny or interesting so I cant imagine its worth the money

Selecting a seat as a Platinum: "Alright, what nut head took 4C leaving me with row 5?"

Selecting a seat as a Bronze: [after the umpteenth time trying in a day] "Whew! Finally, an aisle seat opened up. Take it.... and, yes! Relief!"

I love the Seinfeld TV series - I have all 9 complete seasons on disc - would not give 2 bob to watch his solo stand up show.

Shock horror !!. You have a school reunion every year?

Well, all the schools I attended (USA) have reunions every year, but your class only gets a formal invite every five. And special invites at 25 and 50. And I suspect 60, though it is only recently that life expectancy made that last one "worthwhile". And of course, it has only been in the last 15 years or so that internet communications has made publicizing reunions "timely" for those outside the country.

And yes earlier on in my stay in Australia I attended a 32nd reunion since it tied in with a trip to the "old country". A couple of my classmates had spouses in that class so it wasn't totally wasted.

Happy wandering

Fred

Anything before row 15 elicits joy.

Yes, because I am the organiser of it.
We even do "away"events for those that are willing to travel (i.e last year a group of us travelled up to Brisbane, then Skype with those still at the Sydney venue.
We also do Race Days at Rosehill once a year. (that's not my gig)

Adele is coming to Australia.

Brain Lara has brought his daughter Sydney to Australia who was named after his double ton in Sydney.

Like the best sledges, the best commentary one-liners tend to be claimed by and attributed to anyone who happened to be walking past the media centre on the day they were uttered. And so, it is hard to work out exactly who came up with the following gem on Brian Lara's epic 277 at Sydney in 1992-93, an innings so good that he named his daughter after the venue. "It's a good thing the game was not in Lahore," quipped either Michael Holding in his treacle-thick Jamaican tones, Tony Greig in his Aussie-Anglo-Afrikaaner hybrid, or Greg Ritchie in ... well, whatever twang Greg Ritchies talk in.

MrP currently in Auckland for work. His first night was last night. Didn't have a great nights sleep as he felt like someone was trying to break into the room or was actually in it. Then wondered if there were rats or something rattling in the cupboard.

Nope. Turned out it was multiple aftershocks!

My mum and dad are off to Christchurch within the next couple of weeks, my mum is having major reservations about the trip. Hopefully they still decide to go.

I feel so sad about Christchurch, it was such a beautiful part of the world.

Shoulda called 'Specsavers' - try 5 Thursdays, 5 Fridays and 5 Saturdays. October had 5 Saturdays, 5 Sundays and 5 Mondays.

Got my first one via Sony Store. I eagerly went to the camera I'm thinking of buying ... and found it was the exact same price as before.

'click Frenzy' already in the spam filter rule book. :evil:

Our class of '82 had a reunion in 1999. None since that I recall.
