TIME TO MOVE ON

Robert Bruce · January 30, 2008, 06:24:55 PM

Here is the $64m question - should I come to the reunion?

To help me decide, I want to know:

1. Who can I write a message to on the sickbag on the plane to OM?

2. Who will pass it to the person I address it to?

3. Can Bev 'n me bomb you lot from the big diving board?

Robert - you may address that letter to me and hand it to me yourself when you get there - just as long as you are there. I don't care - you can even hand me two letters (

), but be there.

Yes, you may bomb us, but from what I have read here, the big diving board is no longer there, so you can climb onto the roof of the keepers/watchers office and make your bombs from there!

So - what have you decided? Are you going to be there? Ok, just 1milj dollars will also help a little with all our expences for the weekend, so bring that with - the rest you will need for your recovery program after the weekend!

Hi All, Just reading this posting for the first time and all I can say is, Koos you obviously have never shared or experienced what the rest of us have and we're all the richer for it!!

Robert, You really are going to town with those Smiley's that you're throwing around!

My final words on " moving on " and the proposed reunion in November ..
I have been giving this a lot of thought .. I in fact wanted to sneak into town ala Patricia Lotte style when I turned 50 .. do my little scout around and then quietly dissapear .. this was all changed for me in that suddenly a lot of O'mund came to me .. making contact after all these years .. I found that I was ready to meet again and share of my lifes journey and experiences .. so I abandoned that plan ..
Now I am looking forward at November .. what am I going to achieve ??
I got this in the quiet hours of the morning ... dreamstate
" You have travelled some distance on lifes journey , its time to take a step back and look at how you have done on this journey ... by going back to where you were born and raised and connecting with places , although maybe changed with time , you have that inner memory it will be enough . You will be able to ground yourself again and then move forward refreshed and with new energy "
I look forward to it...

Sandy, I'd love to have dinner with you, you sound like a deep thinker, who really enjoys life.

Barbara, you really know the way to a man's heart. I have not heard this line since...well, errr I can't recall.

Having met Sandy when he was still in nappies and I was wearing my first pair of junior Y-fronts, I think Mr B has had cause to think deep during his short and exceptionallly eventful life.

I too want dinner with the dickhead to tell him something I thought of when he arrived home after his night on the tiles with a troupe of baboons and was carried from the ambulance into the B's home at 2nd Avenue........

So maybe we 3 plus more can do so at the reunion?

Robert, okay and everyone else is invited -I wasn't flirting with Sandy.

The only trouble is I probably won't make the reunion -

Bev Coates (Now Walker) · February 03, 2008, 04:55:03 PM

I had mentioned the baboon story to all the old friends who were invited to Sandy's while i was over in C/T last year.....everyone laughed and said it wasnt true....and that Sandy made the story up himself.....i disagreed and said i knew it was true as i rememebr my mum telling me all about it.........anyway ay Sandy's that night i was dyin to ask him about it....anyway to cut the story short (something am not very good at ) Sandy has still got the new's paper reporting his mishap with the baboons....with full story .....

.Sandy...take it the reunion with you............

Bev,

We lived diagonally across the road from the Buchanans so I was outside the house when Sandy was brought home.

And it is true.

SandyB · February 04, 2008, 07:24:42 AM

Stories out .. yes but Mr Bruce must still do his creative writing thing on this . I will not say more on my night out on the tiles .. it was his story to write ..

I guess I must do it so that the ladies can swoon all over you!

SandyB · February 04, 2008, 01:35:23 PM

No Robert ,,no swooning necessary .. maybe they will be swooning at your creative story writing style .. glad to see you joining in a bit again .. remember a bit of break from the grind is good for you ... helps unload the mind ease BP .. etc etc .. blah blah you have heard it all ........
