    Gotta watch those damn Magpies.. don't notice many up here but down in the Mainland they were a real pest... used to shoot the fukers (in my younger days) when we didn't care for anything other than girls, bikes and beer. I have growd up now.

    They must still be a hazard

    I'm pleased to advise that John Barnes who unfortunately came to grief on the rocket on the GC is ok and back at work on light duties in between physio sessions.

    He was admitted to Waikato hospital and discharged approximately 3 days later. He is one lucky fellow.

    No word on the status of how the rocket is though. It wasn't looking to crisp in the fence.

    cheers
    Dave

    John is now back at work albeit on light duties inbetween physio sessions.
    Thanks to all those that stopped and gave assistance. It's not the same without the boss around. I wonder if he'll ever forgive me for talking him into it.

    Can anyone put me in touch with Merv? OR let him know to contact me to get his earplugs made (the raffle winner). We will be at Big Boys Toys in a couple of weeks and I think he comes from Auckland........ Cheers Sue

    Not too sure.....

    .... I was told he comes from Auckland and he was one of the first to take off on the GC.

    So you are after a guy named Merv, not a user name Merv?

    In all of my shameless plugging in my post about this year's GC, I forgot all about my Plugz For Lugz. These are fantastic and have served me well both inside my helmet and on long-haul flights to and from the US of A last year.
