I probably won't have a lot of time over the next few days, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy christmas, and all the best for a prosperous new year...

Hello all, don't get me started on the karaoke Christmas songs    I'll take over the microphone and bore you all to tears  :shock:  Wishing each and everyone of you a very Merry Christmas and may I also join Eddy in wishing you all a very Guid Hogmanay. Make the most of the festivities for they only come but once a year.

An Impassioned Plea here folks :  Please also remember not to drink and drive (you'll only spill it) and make everyone heed the message.

cheers

Jim

Yep same here lads........Merry Christmas.......  T.J.

aLL THE VERY BEST TO YOU ALL, MAY IT BE A GOOD BREAK. REMEMBER THE OLD NORTHUMBRIAN SAYING-   MAY YOUR FLOATS NEVER CLOG AND ALL YOUR WAKES BE TWINS. Merry Christmas, Walter.

The same to you, Walter, and all Paddleducks.   Oldie

Whatever your religion, may your celebrations be happy
and your new year be prosperous.

Wishing you all a hot and steamy Christmas...(no not that kind  :wink: )...one full of paddlers and presents, family and friends!

May joy be brought to you wherever you may be found in the world and may you bring joy to others in this festive season!

Merry Christmas from a place where it doesn't snow at Christmas, where instead of a 'white Christmas' we're wishing for a 'wet Christmas' to create a good river for next years River Run and to break the drought.

Merry Christmas to all!

Hope everyone one has a very merry christmas with their family and friends. We'll be enjoying our lunch and dinner in the blistering australian sun.
Best wishes to all

In just the few months since I joined, I have enjoyed sharing with, and learning from, other Paddleduckers.  Particular thanks to the friendly and helpful moderators.
I do hope to meet  many paddleboat enthusiasts through 2007: possibly in Europe, hopefully on Lena River, and even more hopefully on Australia's Murray River.

Today: Christmas dinner in the beautiful dining room of PS Marion, moored for 3 hours so that the engineers could join the passengers.  Notice the permanent decoration (photos of Marion through the years), and the Christmas display.  (Roderick Smith)

Also, in the couple of months I have been involved with PD's I have learnt so much and appreciate it!!
I would like to wish everyone and their families a very Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy 2007!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS...

(Although they have forecasted SNOW in the high country of Vic, Aus over Christmas this year!!)

A very Merry,      Happy,    and Blesed     Holiday to you all.

Hi PD's,

Well here we are at the end of 8-9 weeks of hectic activity at ACS...just managed to get everything out on schedule.

Also had some further computer issues to deal with during this period...WARNING...be very suspicious of 'WINDOWS' upgrade with the latest blanket security fix for 'Outlook Express' I installed this, as with most other official upgrades, however, this one crashed my e-mail system...which took 12 hours to recover from....even with a full backup system,.... to the status it was in prior to installing the upgrade, it is now fully functional again.

I won't even think of the new 'Internet Explorer Version 7' this has more holes in than a sieve......

ACS are now shutting down until 8th January 2007......I need the break....Ah! sob!      :vacat

It only remains to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and busy (paddler building) New Year.

More soon.

Best Regards to all.

Sandy.          :computer      :vacat

Best Wishes from all at EMBC

Hi all.  I echo all of the above and offer the old Scottihsh greeting "Lang May your Lums Reek"
