    Thanks big fella sarcasm noted. I saw it on the news link and I checked A&I before posting for some reason the thread didn't appear before I posted. I'm not an ambulance chaser so don't tend to check that forum too much. I though others might be the same, and be interested in the sad news.

    Mate I know you post a lot but I'd think it politer on a thread like this to keep your sarcastic thoughts to yourself. Just my opinion. All the best

    Sounds like these buddy teams in Australia are tight knit.
