Dai, we're third cousins twice removed (and many times just plain thrown out) on both sides.
Grandpa was a travellin' man an' grandma was a sportin' woman, so me an' Trinity are related to dang near everybody...one way or another. Couldn't find any Eskimos or Texans, an' only one Chinese guy, but sure a bunch of others.
Not all are as nice as me an' Trinity, though.
Cousins Idi, Che, an' Benito gave us all a bad name, so we disowned 'em.
We'd love to have you come for a visit. Bring food an' money.
So now you have found the missing Kiwi member of the family.
Before entering into discussion with you all I read this thread from start to finish and I must say that it was a delight.
There reverance and fear you honour our dear lady friend Annie Lee with is an inspiration.
I take it she is a wizz with the skillet and judging by the hushed tones you speak of it, she has proven her dexterity on numerous occasions.
You must bear with me for the time being. I have only really started posting recently though I have lurked in the shadows for a while.
I need to get in syncronization with the thread. I have this wonderful habit of jumping in with both feet and ending up offending someone.
We here in NZ have a very different sense of homour than you my new found cousins. Sarcasm is am art form here, we love nothing better than taking the p@ss out of someone that in all reality were care about. I jumped in at the deep end on TFS before the crash and finished up distressing another person. Unintentional and therefore distressing to myself also. I hope I rectified the mater to that persons satisfaction when i publically appologised.
Now to give you some ammo with which to found your future p@ss taking of me. I'm 49, going very bald, have a funny Welsh accent, shoot like there is no tomorrow, love the Dark Side, weigh about 180lbs and reach 5'10" tall (bet you didnt know that it could be stacked that high, the bull**it that is).
Goodness this is too serious. The sun is definitely over the yard arm so I deserve a shot or two of the Grouse.
I'll be watching and jumping in occasionally.
Dai.
