RE: Brisbane floods (SZC)

[Zeppelin Mad <zeppelinmad@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Les,

Glad you're all OK and the vinyl is safe.  Don't know what's happening this 
year down under - I've been down here 8 years now and Victoria has been, like 
the rest of the place, in drought - to the point that the state burnt pretty 
badly a couple of years ago as you know - and then this year it's not stopped 
pissing it down since June...

I can't believe they've declared 75% of Qld a disaster zone - now I'm not a 
geograpy teacher but that must be about the size of France and Spain put 
together !!!!

The weather is reminding me too much of the first 36 years of my life which I 
spent in England and Belgium....

If it carries on like this kids won't be born naked over here - they'll come 
with a rain coat attached...

If you see the ark make sure you turf out the wildlife to make space for the 
vinyl...

Cheers and stay safe
Andy

Being an athiest, at least I'll know if I'm wrong.
