New Aussie member

Hi, I'm Andy and I'm new to this forum... Looks pretty cool here, think I might stick around.

Sorry I disappeared there for a bit guys. Sure you didn't miss me anyway. What with selling the house, Jodi in Peru for work, sorting out our move and being busy at work and with my magazine, I couldn't commit good time here so didn't log on as I wouldn't get a chance to read all of the new posts...which I've just done.

Welcome to all the new members, hope you're enjoying it here. Now to shut my eyes so they stop working and have a rest!

G'day Andy,

I've been a bit scarce as well while I finish off a training course.

Hopefully, I'll be back on deck later this month.

Cheers to all,

Owen

Welcome back Andy. We missed you.

Hope Jodi brings you back an Inca full if Lima beans!

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
