We had a wake for him and there were 3 slabs with a note give these to Dick if he shows up. Well being aussie beer we had to turn it upside down and it all ran out, luckily we were able to catch most of it. Thanks for the beer . Mike PS If he only managed to drink 3 slabs more than you he wasn't a "true Australian" |
