G'day Tom,
sorry mate had a busy Christmas and only just on here now. I agree with all you have said and can honestly say during all my difficulties in life over last few years the friends on here have really helped to keep me moving on and to rebuild my life.
So here is a glass raised to all of you.
Merry Christmas to all, Happy New Year and here is to good mates no matter where they may live.
cheers
me
