Congratulations for your 1000 posts.
It can only means that you merites a good price.
Andy, Sweder, SP, Anlu and the other should invite you to go to Almería (in 5 stars hotel, of course!)

Thanks Ana, it would be great to get over to Spain one year - as you can see, Antonio is anticipating my appearance at Almeria next year, but it looks like we'll need a significant easing of exchange rates before that can actually happen (currently the Australian dollar is only worth 0.6 Euros ).

Happily however, that means that you can all come over here relatively cheaply and sample Australia. Just as several thousand mad English cricket fans are currently doing - escaping the English winter and basking in the sunshine here, watching their team get completely, utterly and undeniably thrashed by a vastly superior team. But they're having fun anyway

Of course there are already a large contingent of Spaniards here too, following Rafael Nadal (seeded #2!) to the Australian Open tennis in just 4 days time (yea!)... SP should be here for that one - he's a great tennis fan, apparently. He keeps going on about it anyhow Tommy Robredo could do well here too this year I think. Anyway, the draw is announced tomorrow, so we'll get a better idea of who's going to knock Federer off his perch this year

Ciao
