Peter from 42⁰ South

Welcome, Peter. Enjoy your time here. Among other things, we drink lots of coffee


AND have a rockin' good time...


DBF!

Welcome to the site!
Great jokes you posted--keep them coming.

Welcome Peter!

Glad to see you back - and the poem about the dunny is a cracker.

Thought this would tickle your funny bone!

PLEASE DIG DEEP PEOPLE

Torrential rain hit Queanbeyan in the early hours of Wednesday 8th December 2010.

Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, flannies soaked, woollen trackies sagging, muttering ‘Faaackinell’.

Flood waters devastated the area causing approximately $30 worth of damage, $10 of that at Karabar alone.

Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their Centrelink cheques arrived.

The Queanbeyan Age reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Queanbeyan .

One resident – Tracy Maree Sharon Britney Madonna Smith, a 15-year-old Mother of 5 said ‘It was such a shock, my little daughter Chardonnay-Mercedes came running in to my bedroom crying. My youngest two
Joachim and River slept through it all.’

Apparently, looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal with a 95.7 % saturation rate .

The Australian Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Bacardi-Breezers to the area to help the stricken locals particularly those at Jerrabomberra also known as Lower Tralee or East Machonachie.

Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including Health Care Cards, Jewellery from Kmart and Bone China from Big W.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster.

Clothing is most sought after – items most needed include: flannelette Shirts, tight blue jeans or spandex, singlets (blue & white) white sport socks, Ugg boots and any other items usually sold in Priceline or The Reject Shop.

Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.

Required foodstuffs urgently needed include: Microwave meals, Baked Beans, Ice cream, Chips, Fizzy drinks.

Donations of $15.00 will be taken to buy a packet of winny blue

Wishing You A Merry Christmas And A Very Happy New Year 2011.

Hi Peter,
I just wanted to send season's greetings to you and all your loved ones. I know you celebrate Christmas, so I hope you enjoy the season and have a wonderful time, and my best wishes for a happy new year as well. Take care, enjoy, have fun and know you have friends out there thinking of you. Cheers!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Hi Peter, Just a quick "Hello", BTW: "Angus" may, very well, be wise beyond his years.

Wishing You and Yours a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

Just for the record I'm at 46° 29.765' North – Hey! I’m over half way from the equator to the north pole…

Hi Peter, Wishing your mum well. That is a tough break. No pun intended. My dad suffered through an upper arm break some years back. Not a fun experience...

Oh, Peter, I am so sorry for your mother's broken arm. I hope it can be fixed without too much fuss. When Starr broke her arm near her shoulder it had to be positioned and pinned while under an anesthetic, and she couldn't have a cast, just a sling. It was miserable to try to keep the shoulder and arm still all the time for about 5 weeks. I'm really hoping things go better for your mum.

Peter, just read about your mother's fall. Please pass on my best wishes for her recovery. I hope the transition into aged care is a smooth one.

Sorry to hear about your Mum. Best wishes for her recovery.
Hope your search for a High Care Facility is not too difficult, and your mother is happy enough to go into one.

Peter, at the risk of being a "me too", sorry to hear about your mother. My dad broke his arm, just below the shoulder. He was NOT happy about having to move to an assisted living facility. All one can do is the best they can...

Happy birthday Peter. Have a wonderful day and enjoy a few cold tinnies! Cheers!

, Peter! We Aquarians are a pretty cool bunch, aren't we? That, however, does not look like a glass of water you are carrying around ... XO

A very to you, Peter.
I hope you have a really great day and do all the things you want to do, but still behave yourself.

Best wishes &
Anne

Hi Peter, Don't know if I sent you this or not.

Ah ooooo, It's me, again. Guess I must have had a case of "cranial rectumitus". You are the one who sent me that link.

Happy Birthday to the Mrs.!

A very to Mrs P.
I hope she has a great day as I'm sure she will.

Best wishes,

Congratulations to you and your family, Peter. I'm glad all is well with Sienna and Mum.

Peter I hope you had as good a day as I did with family and friends. Have a beer on me.

Peter - Sienna is absolutely gorgeous. She obviously doesn't take after her Great Grandad.
Thanks for sharing the photos with us.

Great pix, Peter.

A very to your Mum on her 95th birthday, Peter. May she have a wonderful day with the family.

Loved your story about assisting in the cow birth! That reminds me - I should go check on the mother bear!

Hope your Mum had a wonderful celebration!!!
May all of her birthday wishes come true!

Well, bugger me, you're having a birthday today.
A very to you.
Have a great day with your family, Peter.

Best wishes,
Anne

I firmly believe birthdays are nature's way of telling us to eat more cake.

Enjoy!!

Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it, but what the hell.....
Happy birthday Peter! Enjoy this one and many, many more in the coming years!

Peter, I hope you have a wonderful day with lots of love, fun, laughter, family and friends. Best wishes for the coming year - may it be the best one yet!

Peter hope you have a great one.Cheers mate,
