niemeerhier Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Bit of topic but this reminds me of the last time I've been in Oz. Met someone from one of the South Sea islands (can not remember exactly where he was from) in a curio shop in Sydney. We where talking about immigration and he said that he was not going to be like the rest of his family. "All they do the whole day is sit on the beach and drink beer."But quietly I was thinking to myself - Sitting on a tropical island and drinking beer the whole day vs working in a stuffy old curio shop - what was he thinking!

SANZOZ Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Did you then end up selling that white lounge suite to someone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesb Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I did.I thought you didn't want it anymore. I haven't heard from you since my email on 1 Dec where I've provided you with the links to 5 local storage contractors for quotes as well as asking you for your mobile number so that I can send my bank details to you.

SANZOZ Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Ah I see that now. We have been kinda busy with another international move of our own. No worries. Probably best because Im not sure where we would have fitted it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
