Hi Ya Bundy,
At my later years it becomes more fun seeing the "comets" come and go.
Even Eddie Birchley at the Gold Coast had a chuckle or 2 in his old age.
Yeah the alternative is far more drastic - Ho Ho.
Seeing you go back a few years (since you rememember old systems)do you remember "Albert K" who kicked us all off in his day.Originally from SA but moved to Geelong.Used to advertise in Sportsman.Or even "Joe From Ararat" the dog ************.
Ah the good old days.Now they wheel me in to the Brunswick Heads Beer Garden lap top in hand for a stir up.Ho Ho..
Blimey its been fun over the years and even more fun now.
I remember old Mrs Rose M elbowing us in the ribs to give 10 % to the Salvos as we were departing from the track (now there was a woman who bet simply).Gees she reminds me of Bgahwan.
Anyway good luck.Forgive an old blokes remininscing but it does give me great pleasure looking back on the "good old days"

Cheers
