well we sure hope that pete is spoiling you with lots of "pashes" which probably isn't too much of a stretch for him to do=)
I have something to add! This is directly quoted from our local "Coffee News" k? "In Australia, the men and women who deliver the mail are called 'posties,' and there is a rule about how much you can weigh. Up until recently , no postie could exceed 90 kg (198 pounds) because their mode of transportation -Honda 110cc motorcycles- could only take 130kg (286 pounds). So, posties at this weight could who carry 40kg (88 pounds) of letters to stay within the allowable weight for the motorcycle. Recently however, Australia Post raised the allowable weight for posties to 105 kgs (231 pounds) because the motorcycle maker said it was okay. There was a reduction in the weight of the mail the posties carry to compensate." PAHAHA, ok i find this so amusing=) Did you know this??!!
