Happy Anniversary to me and Ange ... Happy Anniversary to me and Ange ...

Well ... following on from my 29th birthday on the 24th of Oct - same day as Wayne Rooney, only 10 years earlier! it is my wedding anniversary today!

9 YEARS!!!

I can hear your brains ticking over now - come on, maths was never your specialty was it?

I am really quite proud (obviously, I'm posting on a website open to the world!!) because SO many people we know haven't even lasted 5 years let alone the 9 that we have. And given that by now you will have done the maths (hopefully) and figured how old I was when I got married, considering how young I was!!!

And I've had a lot of rum, and beer ... and some wine over dinner with Ange .. but ... YAY YAY YAY ..!!!!

Cheers mate - very gracious of you.

Can I come and stay at your place when I want to go skiing after I go home ??

I'll offer reciprocal house sharing rights in my acreage home in the Gold Coast hinterland but I don't own that yet ... I do own a house 5km's from the city centre in Brisbane though.

No worries mate. When are you thinking of moving back to Oz. My wife and I were living in London from Nov2001-Jan 2004. It's nice to be back home where I can afford to insure and ride the Duc.

I tried in vein to secure insurance for a 998 when I was in London and I think most companies declined or wanted about 1800 quid. Ahhhh...

The house share sound bloody good

I don't know when I'll be home yet - not for a few years yet though.

Insurance for my 996 has really come down this year but it's kind of a moot point since I've decided to take it off the road.

Parked on the road in Twickenham it was £1400 and thats with 7 years no claims! But it's less than half that now in a concrete/brick garage and being a bit more aggressive! (£680)

You play rugby?

[sbwells]

No I don't play. But the wife used to play for Southland. Bloody scary ha. She's retired to life of old Rugby injuries and stories

[TP]

I had all the cartilage ripped off the bone in my shoulder in Jan this year in a tackle. I play second five. I've had it all screwed back on but it's still a mess and 4 permanent ti screws in there now!

But we would love to see NZ (got four kids mate, you up for that?) I'll even give you reciprocal Ducati rights!!

[sbwells]

Four Kids!!!


Arrrr.. I've got two spare rooms with a single and double bed.....

The wife has problems with her shoulder as well. She played as a Lock and can't bind properly in a scrum any more, so hasn't been playing

[TP]

Shite - your wife is harder than me!

Mate, you're always welcome at my place in queensland in either Brisbane or on the Gold Coast.

Just let me know, tony_perrin@hotmail.com or on tony.perrin@gmail.com - either one will get me anywhere.

Congrats TP

Roll on the next 10 years
