Aren't you glad you came Muddy? It's called a baptism of fire.

Seriously, once the "troppo" season up here-- you know, T20 cricket cyclones heat snakes sunburn hail storms Christmas mosquitos bushfires and tourists getting into strife in the surf -- once all that is out of the way we seem to settle down and for the most part we're quite nice.

Just keep feeding us morsels of your build from time to time and we'll be happy. We're pretty much over being in front of the fan that the **** just hit, a little spotty, it's true, but nevertheless looking forward to the new year and seeing a goodly number of new Cobras emerging into the light.

Merry Christmas.
