A Well Deserved Gift - Thank You Ellicat

[sunnydays]

Hey Ellicat, I haven't met you in person yet but by all accounts your efforts towards keeping this site on track are priceless. Hope you get better soon from whatever is ailing you and have a scream on your trip!

regards

Justin

[Dusky]

Get well soon Brian, hope all goes well. I only know too well what it's like been stuck in hospital and it sucks big time. :sick: :sick:

I'll put my hand in my pocket...hhmmmm better make sure it's not the one with the hole in it.!! :woohoo: :woohoo:

Have a great time fishing with the boys on the reef .

Cheers.

[Surfingant]

I have now sent through a small donation, I will look at chipping in some more next pay week

[Snaggers]

Ellicat, I hope everything is coming good for you. I will definately chip in, its not a lot as times are tough for me atm but I really appreciate what you do for the site and although we havent officially met we have talked a number of times and I and understand the importance of what you do for this awesome community.

I hope you have a blast and look forward to reading the report.

Shortie and all of the guys involved in making this happen, well done, the generosity of people on this site blows me away. Its the best forum I have been involved in bar none and Im so glad to be apart of it.

[PlasticFantastic]

Like others have said this is a great site and it only stays that way due to people like Ellicat keeping an eye on things and i'll make a small donation when I get payed next week to ensure he makes it on this trip. Also seeing as though you'll be fishing in an awesome spot you'll need some good gear to handle the fishing so if you're after a heavy duty plastics combo I have a Daiwa Saltiga 76 Game with a Shimano Biomaster 8000PG running 50lb which you would be more than welcome to take if you need it, the offers there so just keep it in mind.

Angus

Figured he might need it otherwise you guys will have him throwing 4lb gear around

As long as it comes back in one piece i'm not worried if it gets a few scratches hear and there as long as it gets used and abused it might even have a Saltiga on it by then.

Cheers

I think Ellicats job as modertor just became a lot harder with all these bribes

huh ? I thought it was a golden handshake

max pwr, A lappy everyday would be good too :whistle:

Brian i think we need a trip to The Cabaret Club .$20 = 4 x 5$ lappys :woohoo:

[Angus]

Ah the Cabaret. ASk Henry how to play stripper wars...

Oh Brian speaking of 4lb... You should def bring your Gunslinger along. We are going to have an informal comp at night who can land the best fish on stupid gear

hehe .in the city shortie ,i don't think there is a strip club in the switch .well i haven't found one yet .

i sent some $ across last night ,will take a few days to clear . its not much (equivalent to 2 pack of smokes for me )but i figure it all adds up.came in to a little extra $ this week as work now pays us a 4 hr min for public holidays ,so why not share it for a good cause and a top bloke .

[shortie]

Thankyou everyone that has supported this.

Many of us are truelly blown away but the amount we raised in such a short time.

Angus will post up a date for the deadline that he needs the $$ collected by.

[Angus]

Hey guys. Deadline will be by the end of May. This is when the monies will be transferred for the trip and flights booked (well flights hopefully before then).

Its been an amazing response with only a small deficit remaining that I don't think will pose any problem.

This has been one of those times I have been absolutely staggered to witness first hand how much people much be invested in this community.

Angus

[rosstralia46]

just donated just goes to show what a wonderful community it is :cheer: well done everyone hope you have a ball brian :woohoo:

[Eug]

rich/gus,

i've sent some cash through, i'll put in again if possible just prior to the cut off date.

Receipt number N051822306081

cheers

eug

p.s. hope you enjoy yourself brian, but go fishing at least

p.p.s. cheers to everyone else for contributing to this. as shortie and gus highlight, it shows the true colours of the community who get together for what is often a thankless task.

It is cheap but most of the girls are fat and toothless. Some punters find that advantageous.

I will flick some money next week.

[ellicat]

Let me know what the deficit is and I'll don a wig and knock over the local scouts' Sausage Sizzle at Bunnings. If the deficit is not too high I'll do it early so at least they can still make some money for the day. That's just the kinda guy I am

[kmcrosby78]

I'll chip some in - will give Shortie a PM. Ellicat you do a bloody good job mate - keep up the great work!!!! I might see if I can contact Tim Sheens and see if he can transform your team and sneak them into the eight to further cheer you up ........

Actually Shortie, seeing as though I delivered on my promise last night, cancel the other half of my pledge. I mean, gee, if I can manage to get the hapless Tigers into the eight, why should the bugger get the fishing trip of a lifetime as well .............

[ellicat]

aaaaarrrrggggghhhhh, I fell asleep before half time last night and have been avoiding all press and news sites until I watched the replay. Thought I was s safe on AFO :pinch: :pinch: :pinch: :S :S :S

Thanks Kelvin :evil:

[Bommie]

[kmcrosby78]

UNGRATEFUL!!!!!!! Sorry mate. Funnily enough - I fell asleep too and only saw the result this morning.

[shortie]

I was to busy watching the real football

[fishingnut]

Not bloody soccer ?

[Angus]

Not bloody soccer ?

I have a new favourite code actually...

Its the Alll Female American Lingerie League. Amazingly not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but these chicks actually smash each other!

Google image the sport for more enjoyment

[Bommie]

then there's the roller derby girls

[ellicat]

It'd be better if the whole games were played in slow motion though ...

[Angus]

Hell yeah. I have friends in the Brisbane based team. One of best live sports

[fishingnut]

Does anything ever fall out ? If so I'm there !!

[Angus]

Does anything ever fall out ? If so I'm there !!

Yes.

Wardrobe malfunctions are replayed as often as points scoring

Angus

[kmcrosby78]

The Lingerie Football League is coming to Bris for an exhibition game at the Convention Centre - Fri June 2 from memory. That's reminded me I'm meant to be organising a few mates to go to it. Hmmmmm ..... AFO Social ....?????

[davopac]

Yes.

Angus

i would be a ref or video ref for free for the Lingerie Football League.

[Jords]

I'm a tight-arse student, so had to think of a creative way to chip in :whistle:

Bought this today

Will watch it in about an hour, give it to Shortie (meaning ant will steal it and watch it first) on monday, meaning if you are lucky it might make its way to you before the trip.... :silly:

you guys are going with Nomad, right...? haha

[shortie]

We are in full swing collecting pledges now

Bank account details on front page of the thread

Thanks

[Do$tylz]

Bommie - you wish the Roller Derby girls were actually that good looking here. Don't be fooled. I was There's maybe 3 or 4 that are even worth looking at in the Brisbane/Gold Coast league.

[kreel]

In all seriousness eCat, I've heard about the operation and I want you to know whatever gender you decide to be is OK with me.

[Eug]

Funny that, first thing I asked him was something along the lines of "How was your trip to Thailand?"
