Let's just throw another Noch structure on the barbie and call it a day, shall we Mates?

Dave, you Americans should stick to using your own slang - whenever you attempt to use the word "mate" you always bugger it up. :-)

All the best,

Mark, (the one not called Bruce!)

You have me chuckling away to myself, as always I do enjoy your posts! 

Ta!

Comparing your rather complex and large workshop to the diminutive and simple barn seen on Cody's office, the $3.06 price difference in the bog paper, currently known as the USD, makes the structure you are planning on purchasing a bargain!  I think your comparative example further illustrates the poor value of the little barn! 

The funny thing is, I saw one today at a hobby shop* that specialises in all that pricey Euro stuff, and you're right! It is poor value! When I saw how little you actually get for your money, I realised you'd been right all along!

Now at this point I should use some cutting metaphor exquisitely pointed at the Aussie lack of observational skills, but much as I try I simply can't.  It is rather humiliating really and feels a bit like the end of most Ashes series.

You reckon? I always feel relieved when the Ashes ends - there's no more cricket on the telly at work!

however think that the term POM (Prisoner of Mother England) is a bit of a misnomer for someone who has lived in the US for 20 years! 

 

Well, I didn't want to to upset you by lumping you in with the Septics. And anyway, isn't their a saying along the lines of "you can take the man out of England, but..."?

All the best,

Mark.
