Hi. Can anyone help me out into giving my sad story a happy ending? I'm from Belgium and went to the Birdsville races a couple of weeks ago. Yes I know it is cliché, but I met a great guy there . We didn't get the chance to exchange contact info on the last day of the races because my travel companion had to go to the station where she worked. All I've got is a name (and not even written down so it can go all directions). Anyway, if you do not try you've already lost so here we go: his name is Brad Ficca (or Pike or Ficke or ...) and he works on his parents farm (not animal but produce) near Toowoomba, he's 24 years old and has a sister living in Oxford (England). Does anyone know this guy? I would like to leave him a message very much.

I heard that he went to Iraq to fight with ISIS.
JK, sorry can't help, does Facebook have some kind of forum? I don't know, I'm not a FB'er.

You might have better luck posting your story on a forum oriented towards farming or even horse racing. Not too many Seabreezers live around Toowoomba compared to somewhere like Perth or Melbourne.


Maybe a forum like this one will give you better results?

Easy, just phone the local farm suppliers give them the details and job done I used to be pretty good at tracking people, especially if they hadn't paid their account

"I would like to leave him a message very much."
Yikes, come to think of it, that could be taken several ways, Brad might want to be more careful next time,,,,,,,,, if there is one.

Just put an ad in the local paper,.
"Brad,. I've now got the $200 I borrowed off you at the races but I've lost your contact details.
Please send contact details to,... etc etc."

I think that should get you at least half a dozen to choose from and you can pick the best one.

Are we being really helpful here?

No worries Wendy.
i'll just need your Full name, Date of Birth, Current Address, Credit Card details and your mother's maiden name.
Should be able to get back to you soon.

(It's windy now in Maui yeah?)

nice one guy's...If I don't find him, at least I got some funny replies . And some of you may be dissappointed, but it's nothing do to with pregnancy. A male collegue of mine got a message like that via Facebook...freaked him out. Anyway, will try the farmers forum, thanks for the tip Modydisc.
