The Reunion - What a Blast
Hi guys, Just wanted to drop a line and say what a fantastic time I had at the reunion. Catching up with old friends and making new ones, hearing names (and terms) I haven't heard in 20 years and seeing faces I haven't seen in just as long. Thanks to all the old salts who took the time to pass on their fond memories of time served with dad, as I said at the time, I was just a pup when he paid off and therefor didn't know much about his time served or those he worked with. My sincere apologies to anyone I may have offended whilst performing on Saturday night. I have always thought the world of my time as a pussers cook and of anyone else who was, so I hope the comedy didn't ruin anyones weekend. Thanks also to everyone who let me know how much they enjoyed the show. A big WELL DONE to the organisers and to Tiger for putting his hand up and giving us somewhere to do it all again in 18 months. If I dont see you before, I will definately see you all in Perth in 2010. Cheers & Beers, Chris

hi chris, yes what a blast the reunion was and thanks mate for a top show i enjoyed everyword. and if any one was offended which i dont think any one was that was their bad luck. i spoke to you on the smokers balcony on friday afternoon with my mate Jim Carey, hope to see you in perth for the next one :wink: .take care and smooth sailing, johnno

I look forward to it Cliff and thanks mate. I haven't been nervous like that before a gig for a very long time. The show was personally one of the most important I've done and therefor got into my head a bit more than it should have just before I hit the stage. I've let Tiger know I have an enormous amount of entertainment contacts in the west but I think he's pretty organised already. It should be another great time over there. Cheers & Beers, Chris

Enjoyed the show! Could have done with a bit more profanity, LOL Sexist, racist, politically incorrect, but funny as buggery!!!

Yes Chris You gave every one fair warning and I didnt see any one get up and leave .I think you are up there with the best of them mate and your signed video is on Ebay as i write no not really Just taking the piss mate .My kids and all their oppos cant get over the fact that i know you . All bullshitting aside your dvd will get a hammering over the next few days and will take pride of place with all the rodney rudes and kevin Bloody Wilson tapes to say i love comedy would be an understatement . I cant help wondering what your old man would have thought of his boy putting on a top show in perhaps one of the toughest audiences He would have been so proud of you mate as all of your fellow cooks are Keep well mate and Bravo Zulu

I might have to get a look at one of your shows on Maggie Island. I was sitting across from a lady who kept silent. I just made more noise. I loved that song you sang aswell. What a genius.

Chris, It was a great show I don't think anyone was offended. Good to catch up and have a few beers (most i have had in many years) keep in touch. Cheers Michael

Hi All, I'd just like to add my appreciation to the organisers of the latest reunion at Caloundra.It was obviously not an easy task but you guys did it well and although there were some minor hiccups it went over a treat. It was great to catch up with old known members of the white mafia and to anyone who I missed through not recognising or just not catching up with I apologize and will make a more determined effort in Perth.Also how good was Chris Franklin.I'll never look at the Bali 9 in the same light again.Cheers
