Swan Dive into the Deep End

Nearly there huh !!!! Just 10 or so restless nights to go ..... suffer pal [smile] all who have been before you have used various means to get through the nights. Vitamins, Vodka, Viagra, Valium, Voodoo, Vinous Vintages etc etc some used combinations of three or more .... Good luck ..... Together in the open air and sunshine is to the family what diamonds are to the woman. ( Anthony M 2003) Regards Anthony Explore this Great land ... Do it Easy ... Tow a Bushtracker

Hi Griff, Don't worry, I wanted my van on Friday 13th July, but I think Steve may be superstisious and so they made it Thursday 12th. Any day you get your van will be the BEST day!!! enjoy it all, the guys at BT make it a top day. Graham

Hey Griff and Mrs Griff, Hows the sleep factor going? (or should I say lack of) Angie

Griff, How about telling us all what size van and extras that you finally decided on after asking so many questions on this forum. What items did you decide to supply yourself and what Bushtracker items did you go with. Brian

Thanks all. Yep - no sleep here - Mrs Griff has had no voice for a week followed by an all-night cough that just won't quit for the last 5 days. I think its the excitment of the prospect of a three week holiday (something I usually don't let her have) in close proximity to me. Most women find the thought of time alone with me unbearable - being the object of such irrational desire is just a cross I have to carry. Will give a report on the Beast after pick-up. Suffice for now that its a 20 footer with extended A-frame. Back to packing Griff

Griff Enjoy the trip and the BT experience, it's good to have another BT user in the fold. I know it was a great time for Helen and I. I can also understand the bit about "desire" but look forward to seeing Angie's comment. Have a good and safe trip Regards Jeff

Well Jeff, the reality is that you shouldn't mock the afflicted. Everyone knows that BT owners develop personality disorders straight after delivery with similar symptoms to schizophrenia. Vaccilation between delusions of grandeur for owning a BT and feelings of unworthiness for not having enough toys are not uncommon judging by the comments on this forum. I think Griff needs to take his medication regularly to alleviate the symptoms for himself and those around him. Mind you, getting him to stay in one place long enough once delivery has been taken might be another chapter for expansion. Collyn would be more eminently qualified to break the subject up into chapters than I would being an international writer and all. As for women finding the thought of time alone with Griff unbearable, beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder, it is also in the eye of those beholding BT owners. As Griff said, it's a cross he has to carry. One which I am sure he is more than adequately up to. Now in Mrs Griff's case ............. Angie (DrKildaregrin)
