Seance....

[Eddy Matthews]

I suggest we all hold a seance..... Is there anybody there??

My god it's been quiet on here recently, did everyone leave without telling me?

[bogstandard]

I agree with you Eddie,
I call in about four or five times a day. Its been like a mortuary.
Even the Aussies are quiet, which is unusual for them.
That should stir them up.

Hellooooooow,
Still here just feel half dead. Haven't been able to do much work on the models lately.
Regards,

:hmmm ...I thought the land line must have been   near the equator or something...but as our colleague Bogstandard knows I have been    :ohno   away & working on Decoy's new engine mounting.....

The two X two holes as seen in the new frame were actually from a MELT down... :arrow:  :wink:

In OZ, today is Sunday & tomorrow is a  :yeah   public holiday so hope to spend a few hours on the new frame & a   or two

:ohno PD's.....going through my dear   mothers family tree & what do I find ...looks like Bogstandard & I may be RELLOS :sob

Records from the Mitchell Library in Sydney confirm a certain 14 year old John Moore [farm labourer from Ireland] arrived in OZ on 30.11.1887 onboard the vessel "The Duke of Buccleuch"

 :gather &      :vacat....enjoying the sunshine John :?:  :roll:

OK PD's...... :nah ... even though our current daily postings  :computer are a little low  


In total 159 users have visited this site today :: 18 Registered, 1 Hidden and 140 Guests , 8 of them within the last hour.

So if we have any "statistical" type members  :nose.......could offer comment...... beyond 5 fingers & 5 toes.....on each side I am lost after 21 :roll:  :wink:  :  :idea:  :arrow:

Got you there Derek.
My ancestor was called Percival John Moore and did a runner around 1913, never to be seen again. I suppose he could have gone to Oz and got eaten by the natives (not the aborigines).
BTW this one can get to 22.

:hmph PD's...according to the Constabularily  :computer records....most of those Irish free settlers....... Mores/Moores/Moreaz...that journed to our beautiful  :vacat shores in OZ all those years ago ended up in Gole/Jail/Jale here in OZ ...........

At least we convicts  :yeah knew our place in society & kept our Monolopy "Get out of Jail" cards for handy reference....whilst working on the hulls of paddle wheelers in OZ as opposed to rotting in the HULKS   :rant on that river Thames .....................................  :music

Does Seance happen to translate into: lack of Sean...

Sorry I've been incredibly busy with school and other hobbies, haven't been to Echuca in a looooooooong time, and haven't even laid eyes on Grebe either, let alone the forum.

I have managed to stage a stage show and film a short webseries parodying shows like The Sopranos amongst other things in my leave.

However, now school is almost over, which gives me some time (well after exams) and then I shall 'launch' back into some paddler stuff again, including Grebe.

Meanwhile, I have to post some slightly more updated posts of a model I made and our private 'wharf'.

Looking forward to being back on deck.

Sean
