Re: For anyone that will be near Jandakot...
What was the quote being used on my course..."Go to Bunnings get some timber, build a bridge and get over it" haha they're wanting a gift card purchased but i don't see the point of buying the card yourself and then using it. But seriously, if I'd attempted that I'd have crashed and burned on landing...if I'd gotten that far!Nafenn wrote:Aside from the horrible landing :-pTyranus wrote:haha...yeah well done Nathan, good to see Doug captured it all there for your 21st not very embarrassing but still.
