message to all crow-eating Benz owners

Folks:

I shall be visiting the Sodom of the South (city of pubs, churches, and unsolved gay murders) to attend a conference and a Government House soirĂ©e on Wed-Thu October 17-18.  I shall stay over until the Monday in hope of (a) catching up with the city I've not seen since I left it in 1984, and (b) meeting some SA forum members.

As I'll be flying down there (my host's choice - I'd rather drive and have the car when I'm there) I'll be relying on public transport to get around, but I don't recall that ever being a hassle in Queen City.

If any readers would like to meet with me, let me know and I'll make all possible efforts.  It's good to personalise these connections, I find; it gets us past the virtual to the real connections.

Cheers

Gordon / OzBenzHead

Sheesh, Gordon - I honestly thought you were going to Cape Town....
"You've bought another bloody car?!? We should have you committed!" he shrieked, storming out of the room

Woops!

Do my description and sobriquets for Adelaide also describe Cape Town?    :o

I'm afraid that the Zud Afrika trip is a little further off than next month (regrettably).

Well, so much for the proposed Adelaide trip.

Within moments of receiving my snailmail invitation for a chinwag with the Governor, I received an e-mail from the conference organisers cancelling the conference!

Something odd happening there - they've been (supposedly) organising this thing all year (it was to be a 25th anniversary bash, so potentially big), but now cancelled owing to a lack of registrations (read: 'enthusiasm'?).

Oh well.

I'll just have to make my own way to Queen City at another time.  Damn - was looking forward to it, to meeting some forum folk, and to catching up with old friends.
