being a southerner these tick things scare me a bit. Do they anethetise the bite area so you don't feel it?

Wayne, the ticks start at Bairnsdale..... That's reasonably south. .... I'm more concerned about the black Staffy

G seems ok today no ill effects so far, I on the other hand stayed in bed all day, got up to see Kay & Bruce off ,had a shower then the spinning head etc started so that was the end of me for today. No tv here Wayne just the good old dvd

Sounds like you better get someone that has a VAST setup to help you tune it in Dot?
You never told us all how the search for more ticks went? I'll tell you a story one day about one that attacked a scrotum........ 10 days in hospital .......

So Bruce, what's the difference between a tick and a scratch?

[bagmaker]

Dot you haven't gone weak /dizzy since the undergrowth clearing incident?
Could be a female Sampson type thing..........

So Bruce, what's the difference between a tick and a scratch?

Well .... A tick is what I put on my census form and a scratch is what you do to try winning, ....well...., a scratchy!!!
Getting closer to takeoff day Jon?

What is a tick on a census form. Could not get a form or register so gave it a miss. Sent emails and did the phone but they were tooooo busy and so am I.
Got a lot going on so why waste time with them.

Yes Bruce, slowly making progress. Maybe the itch will still be there by the time I finish.
