You've been such a great mate...G'day Kerri<br /><br />You've been such a great mate recently, but I was more than a bit disappointed to read your list. I mean I was going to invite you over for some beer and a slice of pav. I was even going to fold down my Hills Hoist so that we could sit out in the backyard, in our tracky dacks, and watch re-runs of Home and Away. Then, when we got really pissed (hey, maybe that's why they call it "getting on the piss"??), I thought we could re-enact that roof-top dance scene from Strictly Ballroom.<br /><br />What can I say. I'm shattered.
