Hope you have a good All Hallow’s Eve tonight, don’t get too scared. I’ve already done Halloween on Saturday at Seng and Rob’s amazing Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror party so I’ll just stay in and hide tonight.

So Brighton is now locked down and there’s lots of armed police around. I even saw a battleship the other day. So I’ll be taking a few Conference photos over the next week and posting them here. The first is kind of for my Dad who was in the forklift truck industry for many a year:

The good folks down at b3ta.com are trying to design a new image for the USA.

I think this should be the new flag (by pecker)

Congratulations to Steve and Louise Esson who have had their first child, the beautiful Freya! Steve had a difficult nine months, having to travel to work with James Morse, but he and baby are doing fine now. Hope all is going according to plan in the Esson household and that Freya is well.

Thank god she wasn’t called Dylis!

Oh, and Guaranteed no more baby posts till next year - its a summer thing.

Gah! It looks like my friends Andy and Lisa are selling their lap dancing pole on eBay! No more pole dancing for me any more. Where am I gonna learn my moves now?

Word is just in that my friend Jon Pearce and his girlfriend Jo have just had a baby. He’s a boy, born at 9AM this morning. Mother and baby are doing well. The baby’s name? Dylan. Hopefully Brighton will be big enough for two Dylans

Congratulations to Tom and Tanya Lodge who have a lovely baby boy called Dylan. He’s a few months old now and doing well. He’ll be a hit with the ladies too I’m sure. They’re all on a summer adventure in California at the moment. Hope they’re having fun!

A big congratulation to Rich and Anna who announced the birth of their first child, Dylan, last month!

The baby and family are looking fine. And what a great place to grow up in, Coogee Bay! Dylan has also become a member of the technorati by having his own website, Dylan’s World.

Good luck guys! Hope the harsh Australian winter isn’t getting you down. And see you when you’re over next, early 2006?

The Fall Cal-Stewart meet honors the memory of John King with a cocktail party on Friday evening in his name. John King was the life of the TTOS SW Division and contributed much to the early success of the Fall event. He loved to be the auctioneer at the annual event and encouraged new young collectors to feel welcome into the hobby of toy train collecting and operating.

Cheers Guys! Have a beer on me!
