Well fellas, another year has has come and almost gone with 2008 on the horizon.
I thought it might be time to see if I could start the largest MLU post yet, with my invitation for all the MLU community to chime in during the Christmas and New Years season and especially extend Thanks and Best Wishes towards our Moderator , GWB. Consider this as an on forum Christmas card if you will; As all of you are aware, Geoff spends a great deal of money and time to make our community possible. We all enjoy each others wealth of knowledge, good hearted jabs, jokes and other shinanigans... Merry Christmas and a Happy New Geoff from the MLU family!

Merry Christmas!
From Jessie, Brigitte and all of the girls of Gracies over the past year! They missed your charm, wit and odd hat.
All the best from the Hammond Trio: Bob (The Duke of Hammond) Carriere, Grant (The human CMP Encyclopaedia), and Rob (HUP Meister wannabe) Clarke. Here's to continued success with MLU in the New Year!

Robert, you the man! You're the first one who's said anything that makes sense in this thread... now where can I pick up my prezzie?
To the rest of you: Merry Christmas to you too! I'd call you all on Christmas morning, but thanks to our good mate Robert, I'm afraid I may be a trifle.. er... distracted...

Operation Sunray
‘Twas not that long ago
Just a matter of months you know That nought I knew of you Or of this thing called MLU! Then one day When helping a friend I chanced upon this site Canuck And thought “With this I’ll have some truck” Little I thought when I broke the seal Of the wonders it would reveal Trucks and tanks, all manner of things And the memories it all brings When I'm feeling sad and down Sitting here all afrown I give this mouse a little wiggle And sure enough I’ll find a giggle Not here is there web decorum Just an extremely cheerful Forum No subject seems taboo And most spammers don’t get through Looking further, on inspection It seems no subject deems rejection Everyone works to a common end In support, research, and help to mend To bring a final sadder note And no poet will I quote Let us remember those before For whom Christmas is no more So to all of you in this MLU May it see more years through? To all of you, too many to mention Wishing you well is my intention Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to one and all Paul |

WOW Paul ... what a wonderful MLU poem that says it all and so much more!!! I'm totally impressed at how greatly you expressed yourself about it all, and in a poem too! Once again WOW
I do find myself thinking lots lately about one of us missing ... our Art Johnson. Who loves you baby ... Merry Christmas Art, you're still with us in MLU ... |

Excellent poem, Paul!
Here's a fractured tune for a MLU sing-along - I think you'll guess the melody:
You Are Our Sunray Our only Sunray. You make us happy When skies are grey. You'll never know, mate, How much we love you (in a platonic way). Please don't take our Sunray away And since that nite, mate, As I was browsing I saw this website called MLU. So full of good stuff, I read and read And kept on browsing 'till the break of day. You Are Our Sunray Our only Sunray. You make us happy When skies are grey. You'll never know, mate, How much we owe you. Please don't take our Sunray away Some call them Blitzes, Or Puddle Jumpers But to our troops mate, They were their friends, You'll never know mate, how much we owe them They kept on going and still they save the day. So keep it up, Jif Our only sunray. You keep us going Keeping spammers at bay, You'll never know, mate, How much we respect you, And never take our MLU away.

I'm Ill.....
Keith...
I'm ill... Couldn't you just say thanks...??? Your singing is akin to gagging sounds on a CMP gas siphoning expedition... But I guess its the thought that counts..Any more to the tune of "Waltzing Matilda" would be more appropriate.. Merry Christmas..

from Yass
Merry christmas to all from the Hedges family also Taz, Ollie , Major and Happy (for all those that miiss her)we hope all your wishes come true.
The way things are going here we may have a green Christmas, having had 5 inches of rain during November and more since, with the chance of more to come. We have our turkey from Bairnsdale ready to be baked, they are highly recommended but you have to put your order in well in advance. We'll be heading to my sisters for Christmas dinner this year. |

Chrissie!
The Holgates would like to wish all MLU'ers all the best for Christmas. Have quality time with your families and stay safe!
Let's use this thread to post photos of our place on Christmas morning... I bet no two are the same around this globe of ours!

Max..
When you said... We have our turkey from Bairnsdale ready to be baked, they are highly recommended but you have to put your order in well in advance. Reminds me of the time I decided I would cook up a sandhill crane I shot,for Christmas.. And I ,like you,started my cooking on that old crane ,about this far in advance of Christmas too... Come Christmas that old crane was still so tough I threw him out and ate the pot for Christmas dinner.. Hope your turkey is tender enough to eat by Christmas...If not ,run over it a few times with the CMP and then try it... Merry Christmas to you and yours..

Max
Max is getting that way he has to put his glasses on to see what he's eating and as he is missing a few teeth I hope the turkey is tender as he won't be able to chew the pot, his hearing seems to be going and his back is gone, besides all his normal complaints would anyone like to take him to their place for respite care so his family can have a break for a while and recover.

[..but would you like a bunch more just like him to move in to keep him company...?? NOOOOOOOOO one at a time is definitely enough and it must be an afflicition that goes with this interest as other people I know aren't like this at all. I asked the local nursing home where his father is and they said no as one Hedges at a time was enough, it must be getting close as Max and his cousin were asked to stay for lunch the other day, so maybe sometime soon they will take him for sure.

Huge thank you
Sunray...with this MLU Forum, you've come a long way since "Bridge Class 5".
Thanks Geoff for helping me plan my day so that I reserve time to browse, frown, laugh, get educated and, perhaps, help another member gain knowledge. To all the rest of the MLU gang...Merry Christmas and sod the buggers who want to call it Seasons Greetings!
