Did he Mr Chris?
Why that also sounds like a remarkably swift 'asend' time (teeheehee, waving at you madly Mr kuu!), for him too, by all accounts.

This also means that Derek my M10 love, and I, have been pipped at the post by that hard aiding scoundrel* yet again, but I am a bit suspecting of your report Mr Chris, as us Aussie aiding fraternity are quite possessive of our home spun grading system, and it does not sound at all fair dinkum if Mr IdratherbeclimbingM9 has allegedly graded it as A3.
I must tell Derek that we are still in with a chance of garnering the much prized first aid asend!

(*No offence Mr M9, we say in a spirit of freindly rivalry, as all is fair amongst bretheren is it not?)
