[Leica] OT Hoppy test post

[tedgrant at shaw.ca (Ted Grant)]

Hey guys what's with the Martinis, Margaritas ???????? And no invitation for 
the crew to join in? ;-)

Jeeeeesh you lads are invited here for single malt, lot's of that kicking 
around during the winter months, if we can do a visit to the side of the 
planet where people walk up side down! ;-)

So Hoppy, is it OK when I win the lottery next week! ;-) Yeah right! ;-) I 
just pop down yer way and you serve up one of those smashing great 
Margaritas and we'll celebrate mate! :-)  Aussie style! :-)

What's interesting throughout my life I've had some of the most incredible 
fun while mixed up with Aussie photographer mates! Why do I always have the 
greatest amount of fun with you lads from down under?  Damn fine folks 
indeed. :-)

Remind me some day to tell you a couple of stories about being involved with 
Aussies and cops in Montreal !  1967! :-) Damn it was great! :-) We, 
Aussie-Canadians won! :-)

Then the black tie event party! :-) Where we, again Aussie-Canadians threw 
the formal clothed ladies into the swimming pool? Unreal! :-) Never mind the 
phoney Hollywood crap on TV, we set the standard! ;-) This was real time 
life of Canadians and Aussies doing it right! :-) Ok so the guys thought so 
at the time! :-) Well at the moment it seemed right! :-) The ladies? Oh well 
what the hell we all paid for it later. ;-)

But damn it was great fun at the time! :-) I suppose it was more fun once 
the guys let the ladies start pushing us into the pool. :-) Then it got wild 
cause a few started to take their formal attire off! No we wont explain that 
part! ;-) Any of you guys been in a swimming pool still dressed black tie 
formal clothes? ;-)

Another side in the life of a photojournalist! ;-) Truth is always better 
than fiction! ;-)
