Have you been affected by the floods at all? I have no idea where Ballina is. |
 You've probably seen tv showing Northern Rivers of NSW is flooded, IE : Lismore, Kyogle, Coraki, Casino, Murwillumbah, etc etc, well we are up that way, but we are on the coast at the mouth of the Richmond River, so all there water has to pass by us to reach the ocean,
we are 1 hour south of Tweed Heads, 20 mins south of Byron Bay..
BALLINA |
Good luck for later then
I may be heading up your way around the time of Euro 2008. A couple of mates and I are thinking of spending a week up north for a week or so.

A really good friend of ours (Janet we'll call her, not her real name), who lives in Rothwell, was out shopping one day when she hit a car on the way out of the shopping centre. She couldn't find the owner so she left her details.
She got home and told her husband (who is a builder and an all round daft bastard, john we'll call him, not his real name) what had happened. He said she was daft for leaving the details, but she said he would have hated it had someone else did it to him. He agreed and carried on with painting the living room ceiling.
A while later her friend called to say she had seen what had happened and mentioned that the car belonged to one of the hardest men in Rothwell, a real life nasty piece of work. Imagine the look on Johns face, inbetween calling her all the daft cows etc..
A while later still, John was still painting the living room ceiling when a knock on the door, janet answered to see this man mountain at the door. She invited him in and explained what had happened. He stood there all silent listening to the explanation. just as Janet was ending her description, John got down from his ladder and said to Janet " Right love, this is all I can do today, I'll call back round first thing in the morning and finish the job." With that he picked up all his gear put it all in the back of his van and drove off, leaving Janet, gob wide open and chin on floor, with this monster of a bloke.
Bloke said he could get the damage sorted for 50 quid. she gave him the money and all sorted. However, she didn't have a decent thing to say to John when he got back in. Guess who was in the dog house for weeks for that stunt? 
Now that I would have paid to watch.. |

Sorry mate, but it really was our close friends, not me. Unfortunately, I can never seem to think that fast!! |
