listen guys - a little self-censorship here eh?  my wife reads these 
emails.  give me a break please.

Im sure all of you MUCH prefer your wives/partners to your submarine 
projects....

and would MUCH rather buy hair care products rather than a bone for that 
useless mutt that only saved you from a raging torrent twice, phoned the 
cops when the place was being burgled and dragged u from the burning 
building :)

ouch....a little bruised here.  My wife suggests that maybe australia might 
make a nice honeymoon location - we do have subs (not many) including a 
reconstructed wwII japanese mini-sub - destroyed but 1 made out of parts 
from 2.  u can walk around and in between (it is mounted in 3 parts).  of 
course, the reef is the thing for ppl into fish and submarine 
things.  happy to suggest details if this rates as a serious option.

good luck
peter
