My "mate", John from Munruben sent me this message
last night.
Quote: "You are not going to believe this, (I'm having
trouble myself), but I've won a trip to Hamilton Island
courtest of Radio Station Triple J.
Five nights, all expenses paid and $1,000 spending
money ... and the best bit, I can take five friends
with me.
I know it's short notice and quite a distance to travel,
but if you are free on 29th March, is there any chance
you could pop around and put my bin out?"
Reading the first paragraph I commented, "Good
on you John - well done you lucky lad".
During paragraph two I got quite excited
... is John choosing me as one of five friends?
Paragraph three asks if I am free on 29th March
- too right I am mate. I just packed my pyjamas,
grabbed a toothbrush, cancelled my mail
deliveries and rang a few relatives to let them
know I would not be home for a while.
Then I read the final sentence.
What a letdown ... thanks "MATE":2tsup:
