SPRATTY SAYS 1st December 2007
Summer has officially arrived along with heightened levels of Cricket, non-contact and quasi-contact footy, visitors, insects, mowing and aquatic themed activities. Our more senior students have pretty much finished for the year and may be seen practising the art of indolence at a beach, loungeroom, hotel or kitchen near you. The balance of our student population are right up their exhaust pipe, just about academically cooked for the year and ready to put their intellectual development on hold for a month or two.
At long last it is safe to turn the TV on without being told by both sides of politics that the sky will fall in if the other is elected. While Universal Bovine Suffrage appears to be on the back burner for the time being, the sky hasn't fallen and all political protagonists will have noticed that it is swinging voters who in fact hold the real balance of power across our fair land. Viva democracy! Commiserations to the losers,
and congratulations to the winners. but what about a @#$%^& bridge!
On the home front, in addition to sloth, absence and ineptitude I am pleased to announce that I have added a new string to my bow, tardiness. If the job cannot be avoided, passes OH &S and the gear is available, in exchange for suffering at the receiving end of a few strident tut tuts, there is always the chance the job many be reallocated to some unsuspecting trades type person due to an extended timeframe on the job. Gentlemen this is a card that must be played prudently as overuse may result in unforseen restrictions in more preferred activities.
Graham's groin is on the mend, a little tender after pre-season training last week. Aussie rules in Grafton continues to hang off Graham's groin. Being a big fella he is ripping through the anti-inflammatories, creams and other medications necessary to recovery, so anyone looking to sponsor Graham's groin should contact Graham direct here at Mighty River. A great opportunity offering plenty of exposure.
On the workfront we took delivery during the week of yet another novel product, this time from Ford. I know sexy is a word overused in relation to cars, but the Focus Cabriolet convertible oozes it. Ask Tom the hard questions on this one as he has only had a few moments to himself since it arrived. With hyper economical diesels and an ever growing commercial range from both Ford and Hyundai, some great runout specials Rob and Tom have plenty to talk about in Fitzroy Street.
Meanwhile at the Spring Street Autoplex I can't keep up with the constantly changing pageant of, well everything on wheels, the quality,variety and value just continues to amaze us going off 7 days a week.
Finally don't forget to get your car a little love at our Victoria Street service centre. An investment in the maintenance of your car will reap a dividend in economy and reliability. In particular $69.00 will get you
started with a brake fluid flush and a 26 point safety inspection, not a bad offer.
Happy motoring.
