    And I thought it was particularly nice of Benny Howlett to welcome you with a superb 164sc. :)

    Obviously Benny has been conditioned to the heat. Good tactics. Just top that up with a little more ice if you don't mind please.

    Not sure if you saw my request in the blog section mate. As you would know, we are scheduled to travel to the Whitsundays for Round 3. We are hoping to stay for about a week either side of the game and wondering if you can put us up in some sort of accommodation? And is there an airstrip nearby for a private jet to get us home at the end of our stay?

    Well, here's the thing. Y'see Jolcon and I had this little wager going on the R1 game. I staked a one-day free charter service with Air Whitsunday against his offer of giving me the Bird. So really, Jolcon already has air travel sown up. However, I am assured the plane could fit both teams with ease. /Portals/0/User%20Images/air%20whitsunday.jpg/Portals/0/User%20Images/hayman.jpg As for accommodation, the cockies are welcome to stay as long as you like. We have flown in extra sunflower seed. We hope Shagger Hurn will be comfortable in the island suite (above). We confess to being a little concerned about Tippett though. He does tend to get up to no good. Let us know well in advance and the Head of our PR Department, Ms. Chelsea Roffey, will meet your flight on arrival and assist with customs and immigration formalities. I assume all the boys have visas. Look forward to it.

    Terry, could you please advise WTF has happened to Tom Campbell. His collective absence even as an emergency for WBD and therefore our ORFFL/ORRFA sides is becoming a serious concern. Please release him from whichever island you have banished him to immediately or there will be trouble. /Portals/0/User%20Images/trouble.jpg

    Misfits v Warriors, 2 point game with 2 each to play, both sides suffering late withdrawals, injuries and assorted dust relatedperformanceissues.
    We hate performance issues.

Further to this, we have got in touch with Kurt Tippett and he has agreed to join the team in the Whitsundays for the time we are there; we believe it will be an excellent opportunity for some team bonding which may go some way to repairing the current relationships between Kurt and his teammates and The Cockatoos organisation in general. We have asked TiB if he thinks he would be able to put us all up for a couple of weeks, but if he is not able to, we may just end up sleeping on the beach somewhere. Furthermore, we hope to hire a private jet for our trip back to Gariwerd in time for Round 4 and we have asked JC to chip in on the cost and we can pick up the Battlers on the way. anthak wrote: TerryinBangkok wrote: Well, here's the thing.

We will be traveling from the Whitsundays in the immediate days preceding our match, so Im wondering if you want us to pick you up on the way? Also hoping you can chip in on the cost, or maybe at least pay for fuel :) No need to pay for a flight home Ant. Since I'm probably flying on the Whitsunday's dime anyway after I won our bet, you may as well hitch a ride! Well, that works out really well! Thanks a lot. We'll make sure we get on the plane that's on it's way to collect you. I can confirm that we managed to get out of Powlett Plains as soon as the game concluded and made it to Whitsundays and are already enjoying our time in the leadup to the game this weekend. <img alt='' width='550' height='413' id='irc_mi' style='margin-top: 109px;' src='https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS6RbvISyg1ysf3lHR0j28i8ntN8xX-t7d9Jtk55h_TKK-7195L[/img] Heres a shot of us leaving Powlett Plains. <img alt='' width='312' height='235' src='http://cdn4.agoda.net/hotelimages/499/49918/49918_0912182345001876820_STD.jpg' id='irc_mi' style='margin-top: 83px;[/img] And this is about the extent of our training this week.

    The Spelunkers are looking forward to our match up this weekend at Hook Island... TiB I hope it is ok if we base ourselves on the North Eastern tip, as it makes me feel far more at home given its dromedarian appearance. /Portals/0/User%20Images/123_medium_camel_island.jpg

    No need to worry about accommodation... we bought our blasting gear from The Pit with us, and we will flatten out a suitable area in no time!

    No worries mate. We have sent all the bats off to stay at their mum-in-laws for the weekend and the cave is all yours. Just remember the mites go up and the tites come down and everyone should be okay.

    Well, we expected something unusual from Charlie's Opening and we weren't disappointed. The Spelunkers supporters just about made Hook Island their home and provided great entertainment for the locals when out shopping, having a cool one in the Tiki Bar, or just visiting the beach. Bear's Lobster Pies proved to be a big hit with the visitors. Here is a gallery of the weekend 'invasion'. /Portals/0/User%20Images/cavemen11.jpg /Portals/0/User%20Images/Cavemen01.JPG/Portals/0/User%20Images/cavemen02.jpg/Portals/0/User%20Images/cavemen07.jpg/Portals/0/User%20Images/cavemen03.jpg/Portals/0/User%20Images/cavemen10.jpg/Portals/0/User%20Images/Cavemen04.jpg/Portals/0/User%20Images/Cavemen05.jpg/Portals/0/User%20Images/Cavemen06.jpg/Portals/0/User%20Images/cavemen09.jpg/Portals/0/User%20Images/cavemen08.jpg
