[07:03] Back with all your limbs intact John? [07:03] yep, got through the holiday relatively unscathed [07:04] Goodo [07:04] Lots of padding to fall on? ;0) [07:04] only had one bad incident. I wore snow pants that were held up with buckles that went over the shoulders... [07:04] snow scooper? [07:04] (Whee, Brassed Off is on :0) [07:05] during a skiing lesson, the buckles undone. The female Austrian skiing instructor called out to me "John, your pants are falling down" [07:05] not my best moment on the slopes [07:05] Haha! [07:05] numbers... wow, not seen you in a while 2468 :D [07:05] haha [07:05] lol [07:05] Austrian? No kangeroos? [07:05] I'm sure Wendy had a good laugh about that [07:05] she laughed for about half an hour, then commented "it could only happen to you" (I seem to hear that phrase a lot) [07:05] John - whoops... [07:05] * Numbers waves to Miguel [07:06] I'm guessing Gaby had the time of her life? [07:06] she loved skiing - by the end, she was going down the slopes faster than me [07:06] halfway through the holiday, she flicked from fearful skier to adrenaline junkie [07:06] Aww [07:06] Has she stopped talking about it yet? [07:07] yes, she's moved onto the next thing - the Ekka (a big show we have in Brisbane each year). We're going on Monday so she's been planning all the different showbags she's gonna buy [07:08] 6-year-olds huh [07:08] life is basically one big carnival when you're a kid [07:08] (I say that as if I've ever known any :0P ) [07:08] btw, Emma, when I said I was doing the judging session this morning, Gaby asked "is my friend gonna be there?" [07:09] lol [07:09] don't indulge her, John [07:09] Aww [07:09] *Is touched* [07:09] (I've never had a friend before, what do I do with one?)

[07:10] Has she learnt to get her priorities straight at last? [07:11] I turned up dinner in good company at a great chef's house so I could attend this session [07:11] (And I don't really fancy running it. Some teutonic efficiency perhaps?) [07:11] your dinner was almost the same ;) [07:11] no thanks, i'm way too tired [07:12] I had frozen pizza :0P [07:12] Emma: you really turned down dinner for the JS? [07:12] i know :P [07:12] John - what do I get if I say yes? [07:12] umm, more pizza? [07:12] honourable mention on the news page? ;) [07:12] a shake of the head? [07:12] a postcard from Gaby? :-) [07:13] I don't particularly like pizza ;0) [07:14] maybe we should start - Nemi can join in halfway [07:14] she's FINALLY responded [07:14] I'm gonna give up one of these days... [07:14] Start the session, worry to hold it up [07:14] Mmm, Ewan McGregor is yummy :0) [07:14] sorry* not worry [07:15] last chance to volunteer to run the JS? :-) [07:15] *Steps BACKwards* not me [07:15] http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=875 familiar to anyone? ;) [07:16] 07*steps back to* Never been to a JS so no thank's.
