As a bonus I'll send some Vegemite to the next person.

I LOVE VEGEMITE!

hehe, I guess I live near the capital of Gastronomic Delights in this country, boasting the most Mitchellin-starred restaurants and the best food festival in England, perhaps I could send a local delicacy onto whoever's next on the list?

Colin S, Dave White, are you in also?Sam Price39107.7564351852

And What I will do once it's back to me is try and scan the pages and than email them to all the participants, so everyone can see all the added comments after it's long journey around the world.

That's great Rod . Hey I'm first folks ! I look forward to reading it.
Very good of you to organize all this Rod ( and Sergio ). Particularly good idea to scan the comments to send to all the readers.

Smart move to send it to Australia first .   (fast readers )

Rod, you are amazing bro, must have taken you a bit of time with that roadmap, i suspect that you had to put your study books aside a bit eh?

proud to be your friend!

Serge

Happy for you Craig buddy, i look forward to read yours and everyone's comment before me!

Sam, feel free to send home made sugar pie with the book, can't digest vedgemite!

Looking forward to the book odyssey around the globe. I was just thinking...32 readers x 2 weeks average time with each reader = 64 weeks until Rod publishes the comments.

By that time, I make the following predictions:
...Rod will have finished 2 graduate degrees
...Hesh will have completed 15 more guitars
...Serge will have achieved "Fossilized Walrus Ivory" status with 25,000 posts
...Colin will have cornered the world market on Mahogany
...Zootman will buy out the houses on each side next to him and turned them into Zoot caves.
...The Don will come out of retirement and resume building guitars
...Anthony will have completed his next Archtop
...Alain will have been cited by the Canadian government for generating too much dust from his new drum sander.
...OLF will have 3000 members and a library!
...The OLF #1 & #2 guitars will finally be completed!
...And finally...Allen St. John will release his followup book, "Clapton's Guitar's Neck Re-Set"

Any other predictions?

hey Serge, I'll send ya something British, but I don't think sugar pie will survive the long haul flight, and troglodite postal carriers throwing packages around!!!

I'm with you, too many chances that the pie would be eaten before it would leave the airport anyways!




Looking forward to what you'll send over Sam, how about a pic of you and your first guitar with Sweetie and the kids?

JJ, you forgot one thing, the edition of your book called " The predictions of JJnamus Tome 2"!

Ok, I'll get a pic done! my Sweetie is photogenic (Cameras break when I stand in front of the lens )....


Nah, I'll try and arrange one. We haven't done a family portrait for ages. Oh gosh, this'll be a challenge...



Sam Price39108.5079050926

How long can we keep the book for, before passing it on? I have a nasty habit of liking books a little too much....and I need a time limit!! Sam Price39108.5088425926

Sam, I'd say that if you devoure that book like i'm gonna do, you'll be done in no time! You'll just have to put sweetie in charge of sending it forward as soon as you're done reading IMVHO   

Looking forward to see your family portrait sis!

Cheers

Serge
