*Geoffrey's brain slowly thaws out upon finding this amusing post ...*
"Around" Brisbane?!?!?! If you can call a location near Cairns, Far North
Queensland "around" Brisbane, yeah sure I'll drop by ... ("NOT!!" Say my
finances - they've got other plans ...) Will cost *someone* (me) a bit of a
travel, though!! :-( Crikey, where do I get money for that then? I'm
physically located in Mareeba, which is on the Tablelands near Cairns, about
1500 or so feet above sea level. :o)
And it does get cold up here of a morning, and late at night!! Past three
days have been 7-9 degrees Celsius ... Although, if anyone would be a good
enough samaritan to take a friend on a *very* long journey (hah, who would
that be I wonder?) I might be able to make it down, or if I can find my
train tickets (DSP Pension - long story, and I *do* mind people asking.) I
may be able to make it down - I'll need somewhere to stay, and a few months
of advance notice ... *sighs*
OK, I'm done now ... My brain's refrozen ... You can leave now!! :-)))))
But before anyone does, I'm not much of a train freak, atm - I'm just in the
closing stages of completing a trade deal for my old train and technic LEGO
... Can't do much but get rid of it due to an extreme lack of storage
space, plus lots of dust - but if someone wanted some old town sets off me,
I *might* be able to trade for those ... I should dig out a list from
somewhere - have some old Pirate stuff somewhere too - if I can find it all
that is ...
Cheers ...
