Once a year, we would lose our uniforms at work and do something for charity. The Uniform Free Day raised alot of $ for the Princess Margaret Hospital for Kids here in Perth. In '95, thats where the Superman outfit came from :) In '96, I figured the only character that was gonna beat the dag-in-tights, was 'Death'..hence, the Grim Reaper :) And incredibly...the kids LOVED it..I won! In '97, was a little down tempo, and i had regrown my hair, and then some, so... for UFD '97, out came Eric the Parrot with his pet pirate ;) (I am the pirate!!!)

As for why I shaved off my mo' for this little event, and why I wanted to wear female underwear around the streets of Perth...read on. :)

This year, 1998, on March 18,we did it alllll again, and I finally thought of a character...and if you have seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show...... ;)This year was pretty good, as you will see soon in the pikkies. I'm not Tim Curry, but I gave it a pretty good shake :)) and, since it was the very last UFD that I, and many hundreds of my workmates will be involved with, wellll....had to go with a bang rather than a wimper. :) ...by the way, we raised AUST$43,484.87. The best part is, thats what the cheque had written on it. We take NOTHING for raising the $..its ALL for the kids :))

Why is it the lasy UFD did I hear you ask?? :) well.....

In a nutshell, our employer, the State Governemt of West Oz are effectively GIVING the Perth Public Transport system to private operators. In the humble opinion of this individual, the system will fail. It may take a few years, and West Australian taxpayers will not hear of it until well after the event, but it will fail, and IT WILL cost so much more than Metrobus EVER did. Sadly, Metrobus ceased to exist as of July 4, 1998.

Hmmmmm...reminds me of a movie, hehehe
