ho f'ing ho

[Ken Gargett]

good mate of mine and his wife have flown over from perth (those not from here - about a 5-6 hour flight) for a week or two at noosa (one of our favourite coastal resort towns). 

brought over plenty of wine to enjoy. 

from the jetstar/qantas carousel, this arrives. very, very not happy jan!!! 

as if this wasn't a disaster of biblical proportions (he has a very good cellar and there are some serious bottles in that mess, which he submitted very carefully boxed and wrapped as he travels with wine regularly), he then went into atrial fibrillation and so would not have been able to drink anyway - although i would argue this brought it on. so a couple of weeks sitting in the humidity, not drinking, not happy. 

ho ho ho, indeed!

Deepest condolences - that is Ho-rrendous!

(I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself.)

Sorry to hear all this Ken. By the way, for those of you not familiar with the phrase, "Not happy, Jan!" it comes from an Australian advertisement circa 25 years ago about a company employee forgetting to submit their company listing for the Business Yellow Pages. It has since become a colloquialism that means that one is particularly annoyed about something that they should obviously not be annoyed about!

it was one of the great ads and took on a life of its own. in those days, it was near business suicide not to be in the yellow pages.
