Yet another stooopid rule that took a regular donator off the list! And they're in the middle of a "blood drought." That's what they call it. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Boringsahm: We love our burley and it's a d'lite, which is a fancy one, but we bought ours on craigslist.com for cheap cheap. As we were looking for one, my aussie husband remarked that this is the kind of thing that would cost a billion dollars in oz.

I want to buy a bicycle trailer and to get a Burley here in Australia is as easy as finding a non-venomous snake.

There is a US <A HREF="http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Burley-Bee-bike-trailer-Child-Trailer-Two-Seat-NEW_W0QQitemZ120142242096QQihZ002QQcategoryZ64648QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" REL="nofollow">eBayer</A> who is selling one with very decent shipping to OZ, but it's a big decision without seeing one. I'm off tomorrow to see the <A HREF="http://www.croozer.com.au/" REL="nofollow">OZ equivalent</A> but it's price is still $150US more then the Burley on offer.

Stupid - she doesn't have it and they lost a very good source of blood!<BR/>My favorite story of hers is about Mr. Drayna - old PE teacher. He gave blood, stood up and completely passed out. So much for macho guys!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
