---------------------------------
I have just been given the go-ahead from my better half to go to Oz
(from the UK) in the event of a farewell tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So. I
am asking for anybody who may have advance warning of tickets etc.
to please let me know. ALso if, in the event it does actually come
off, I am asking for a kindly 'workers for a floor to kip on. I
would be most appreciative but draw the line at sexual favours -
well........while the cat's away......;)
Cheers,
P.
