I'm a former Logan Bogan now. I have graduated to the Sunshine Coast. Not sure what the local equivalent is.
I have however noted an awful lot of pony tails on blokes my age up here. Seems to be a thing - retire, grow a pony and do a Big Lap.

Mario has been in WA for about 5 years. Came over on the BOAC with the family and got a job as a logger. He's done well, and after several letters home his mate Luigi comes out with his family.

Mario gets Luigi a job with the logging firm. Luigi gives him a lift to work on Monday, is handed his chainsaw and heads out into the forest with Mario. They are assigned their areas and off they go.

Monday afternoon, Mario and Luigi are packing up.
Luigi : "Hey Mario, how many trees you cutta downa today?"
Mario : "Gee Luigi, I cutta down 5 trees. Dey were biga ones ey."
Luigi : "Jesus Christ, I only cutta down 2 trees!"

They head off home for spaghetti and Marios home made Grappa (don't tell the ATO).

Tuesday they head off to work, pick up their chainsaws and head out into the forest.

Tuesday afternoon, Mario and Luigi are packing up.
Luigi : "Hey Mario, how many trees you cutta downa today?"
Mario : "Gee Luigi, I cutta down 6 trees. Last one was a littlie."
Luigi : "Jesus Christ, I only cutta down 3 trees!"

This repeats until the end of the week.

Luigi : "Hey Mario, how many trees you cutta downa today?"
Mario : "Luigi, I cutta down 4 trees. Lasta one was hooge."
Luigi : "Jesus Christ, I only cutta down 1 tree!"
Mario : "Hey Luigi, maybe therea something wronga with your saw, letta me takea look".

Luigi hands Mario his saw. Mario puts it on the ground, foot on the handle, choke on, pulls the rope and it roars into life.
Luigi shouting over the racket : "HEY MARIO, Watta dat noise?"

8th January 2020, 02:10 PM
One day a man decided to retire...


He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life, that is, until the ship sank.


He soon found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts.


After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore.


In disbelief, he asks, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?"


She replies, "I rowed over from the other side of the island where I landed when my fishing boat sank." "Amazing," he notes. "You were really lucky to have a row boat wash up with you."


"Oh, this ole thing?" explains the woman. " I made the boat out of some raw material I found on the island. The oars were whittled from gum tree branches. I wove the bottom from palm tree branches, and the sides and stern came from an Eucalyptus tree."


"But, where did you get the tools?"


"Oh, that was no problem," replied the woman. " On the south side of the island, a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock is exposed. I found that if I fired it to a certain temperature in a volcanic vent I found just down island, it melted into ductile iron and I used that to make tools and used the tools to make the hardware."


The guy is stunned.


"Let's row over to my place," she says "and I'll give you a tour." So, after a short time of rowing, she soon docks the boat at a small hand built wharf. As the man looks to shore, he nearly falls off the boat. Before him is a long stone walk leading to a cabin and tree house.


While the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp rope, the man can only stare ahead, dumb struck. As they walk into the house, she says casually, It's not much, but I call it home.


Please sit down." "Would you like a drink?"


"No! No thank you," the man blurts out, still dazed. "I can't take another drop of coconut juice."


"Oh, it's not coconut juice," winks the woman. "I have a still. How would you like a Jack Daniels neat?" Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts, and they sit down on her couch to talk. After they exchange their individual survival stories, the woman announces, "I'm going to slip into something more comfortable. Would you like to take a shower and shave? There's a razor in the bathroom cabinet upstairs."


No longer questioning anything, the man goes upstairs into the bathroom. There, in the cabinet is a razor made from a piece of tortoise bone. Two shells honed to a hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside a swivel mechanism.


"This woman is amazing," he muses. "What's next?"


When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but a bandana around her blonde locks and some small flowers on tiny vines, each strategically positioned. She smelled faintly of coconut oil. She then beckons for him to sit down next to her.


"Tell me," she begins suggestively, slithering closer to him, "We've both been out here for many months. You must have been lonely. When was the last time you had a really good ride?"


She stares into his eyes.
He can't believe what he's hearing.


"You mean..." he swallows excitedly as tears start to form in his eyes,
"You've built a Motorcycle?”.....

A drover, who just moved to Queensland from Victoria, walks into a bar and orders three glasses of XXXX. He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, He comes back to the bar and orders three more. The bartender approaches and tells the drover, "You know, a glass goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time."
The cattleman replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One's in Tassie, the other one's a Sandgroper. When we all left our home in Echuca , we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together.So, I'm drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for myself." The bartender admits that this is a nice custom and leaves it there. The drover becomes a regular in the bar and always drinks the same way. He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn. One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss."
The drover looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eyes and he laughs."Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he explains, "It's just that the doctor told me my liver’s shot and I have to quit drinking”"Hasn't affected my brothers though."

There once was a Red Indian who had only one testicle, and whose given name was 'Onestone'.
He hated that name and asked everyone not to call him Onestone.
After years and years of torment, Onestone finally cracked and said,'
If anyone calls me Onestone again I will kill them!'


The word got around and nobody called him that any more.
Then one day a young woman named Blue Bird forgot and said, 'Good morning, Onestone.'
He jumped up, grabbed her and took her deep into the forest where he made love to her all day and all night.
He made love to her all the next day, until Blue Bird died from exhaustion.
The word got around that Onestone meant what he promised he would do.


Years went by and no one dared call him by his given name until a woman named Yellow Bird returned to the village after being away.


Yellow Bird, who was Blue Bird's cousin, was overjoyed when she saw Onestone.
She hugged him and said, 'Good to see you, Onestone.'
Onestone grabbed her, took her deep into the forest, made love to her all day, made love to her all night, made love to her all the next day,
Made love to her all the next night, but Yellow Bird wouldn't die!

At work there was a chap called "wheelbarrow" as one was required to carry his proper name - there was too much of it, and as you said it the sound was like a pile of rubble being poured into a 'barrow.

Another chap a few years earlier, had a given name-surname combination that when said quickly became an approximation of an under-water gas leak.

Can't remember the details but a few years ago there was a guy with a hyphenated surname that was widely recognised and sounded nice. Then he met a lass in a similar situation. But she was using that name professionally as well. They intended children. So the whole shebang was to be so-and-so xxxxx-yyyyy-aaaa-bbbbb.

Queen Elizabeth and Dolly Parton die on the same day, and both go before an Angel to find out if they'll be admitted to Heaven.
Unfortunately, there's only one space left that day.
So the Angel must decide which of them gets in.
The Angel asks Dolly if there's some particular reason why she should go to Heaven.
Dolly takes off her top and says, "Look at these, they're the most perfect breasts God ever created, and I'm sure it will please God to be able to see them every day, for eternity".
The Angel thanks Dolly and asks Her Majesty the same question.
The Queen takes a bottle of Perrier out of her purse, and drinks it down.
Then, pees into a toilet and pulls the lever.
The Angel says, "ok, your Majesty, you may go in."
Dolly is outraged and asked, "What was that all about?
I show you two of God's own perfect creations and you turn me down.
She pees into a toilet and she gets in!
Would you explain that to me?"
"Sorry, Dolly says the Angel, but even in Heaven A Royal Flush Beats a Pair No Matter How Big They Are".

So could you please pack enough clothes for a week and set out my rod & fishing box. We’re leaving from the office so I’ll swing by the house to pick up my things. Oh and please pack my new blue silk pyjamas!”

The wife thinks this sounds a bit fishy, but being a good wife she did exactly as her husband said.

The following weekend the man came home a little tired but looking good. The wife welcomed him and asked if he caught many fish on the trip.


He answered: “Yes, lots of salmon, blue gill & a few swordfish. But why didn’t you pack my blue silk pyjamas?”

The wife scoffed and replied: “I did. They were in your fishing box.”

Having a chat with a bloke over a beer in my local last night. I discovered he was worth around $8 million and he told me the amazing story of how he got so rich. Basically when he left school he had little or no formal qualifications but he was good with his hands and he knew how to sell. He knew he was never going to make it in an office job so it was nose to the grindstone time.
He left school at 15 and bought an old series Land Rover and spent a few weeks fixing it up, he then sold it for profit.
He then used the money to buy another and so on.
He did this a lot over the next 35 years, buying, repairing, selling, buying again.
He eventually moved onto Defenders in the 90's and then onto Range Rovers in the last eight or nine years.
Even during the real bad times he plugged away.
He worked long hours as you do in the Land Rover trade, sometimes not seeing his wife and kids for days in pursuit of his goal.
Then his uncle died and left him $8 million.

The missus bought a Paperback,
down Shepton Mallet way,
I had a look inside her bag;...
T'was "Fifty Shades of Grey".

Well I just left her to it,
And at ten I went to bed.
An hour later she appeared;
The sight filled me with dread.

In her left hand she held a rope;
And in her right a whip!
She threw them down upon the floor,
And then began to strip.

Well fifty years or so ago;
I might have had a peek;
But Mabel hasn't weathered well;
She's eighty four next week!!

Watching Mabel bump and grind;
Could not have been much grimmer.
And things then went from bad to worse;
She toppled off her Zimmer!

She struggled back upon her feet;
A couple minutes later;
She put her teeth back in and said
"I am a dominator!!"

Now if you knew our Mabel,
You'd see just why I spluttered,
I'd spent two months in traction
For the last complaint I'd uttered.

She stood there nude and naked
Bent forward just a bit
I went to hold her, sensual like
and stood on her left tit!

Mabel screamed, her teeth shot out;
My God what had I done!
She moaned and groaned then shouted out:
"Step on the other one!!"

Well readers, I can tell no more;
Of what occurred that day.
Suffice to say my jet black hair,
Turned fifty shades of grey!!

The old man lay in his bed. The Doctors could do nothing more for him. He knew he was dying but he was content, he had lived a long, eventful and happy life. His Children and Grand Children had brought their families from near and far to pay their respects and his mates had all come to see him. He could hear them all in the house, trying to keep their noise down, so as not to disturb him.

His loving Wife was busy baking in the kitchen and all sorts of enticing cooking smells wafted through the house. He smelled his very favourite cake and longed to taste one again. With a huge effort, he dragged himself out of bed and put on a dressing gown. He staggered slowly through the house to the kitchen and with delight, saw his favourite. He lifted his hand to take one, when WHACK, a wooden spoon hit it out of his hand. His Wife said "Don't touch those, they are for the wake after the funeral"

"Late again!" the third-grade teacher sternly said to little Robbie.
"It ain't my fault this time, Miss Russell. You can blame this 'un on my Daddy.The reason I'm three hours late is my Daddy sleeps naked!"
Miss Russell had taught grammar school for 30-some-odd years. Despite her mounting fears, she asked little Robbie what he meant by that.
Full of grins and mischief, and in the flower of his youth, little Robbie and trouble were old friends but he always told the truth.
"You see, Miss Russell, out at the farm we got this here low down fox. The last few nights, he done ate six hens. Last night, when Daddy heard a noise out in the chicken pen, he grabbed his double barreled shot gun and said to my Ma, "That fox is back again... I'm a gonna git him!''
"Stay back," Daddy whispered to all us kids!
"My Daddy was naked as a jaybird -- no boots, no pants, no shirt! To the hen house he crawled, just like an Injun on the snoop. Then, he stuck that double-barrelled 12-gauge shotgun through the window of the coop. As he stared into the darkness, with a fox on his mind, our old hound dog, Rip, had done gone and woke up and comes sneaking up behind Daddy. Then, as we all looked on, plumb helpless, old Rip done went and stuck his cold nose in my Daddy's crack!"
"Miss Russell, we all been pluckin' chickens since three o'clock this mornin!"

A little old lady goes to the doctor and says, "Doctor I have this problem with passing gas, but it really doesn’t bother me too much. It never smells and it’s always silent. As a matter of fact, I’ve passed gas at least 20 times since I’ve been here in your office. You didn’t know I was passing gas because it doesn’t smell and it’s silent.


The doctor says "I see. Take these pills and come back to see me next week."


The next week the lady goes back. "Doctor," she says, "I don’t know what you gave me, but now my passing gas… although still silent, it stinks terribly." "Good", the doctor said, "now that we’ve cleared up your sinuses, we’ll start to work on your hearing."

Divs, I would really like to see what they were photographing & looking at to the right which is actually Port/Red, to you.[biggrin]

I'm not 100% sure the 'modern Navy' would approve. Pussies have equal rights in a diverse environment, and there must be safe spaces aboard warships.

Are they still called hammock liners or is that no longer politically correct? I know it is considered very naughty in the modern army to refer to the female members as groundsheets as in the past.

And he went to Norfolk Island with a different Gypsy Moth. His Gypsy Moth was the first aircraft to land on the island. I recall reading about it when I lived there.

It seems we'd both be wrong.



1889

Specifically, baker Raffaele Esposito from Naples is often given credit for making the first such pizza pie. Historians note, however, that street vendors in Naples sold flatbreads with toppings for many years before then. Legend has it that Italian King Umberto I and Queen Margherita visited Naples in 1889.

A farmer was ploughing his paddock in his airconditioned tractor when over the radio comes an ad for the "worlds biggest tractor fair" coming to Toowoomba.
He was so excited. He'd gone up with tractors all his life. He couldnt believe it was actually coming to his town.
Day after day he kept ploughing the land, hearing the ad and he was pumped up to go.
As the months turned into weeks, he told his family to get ready for the big day. His family knew their dad was a tractor nut and all declined the invitation. It didnt dampen his enthusiasm at all.

Finally the big day arrived. The worlds greatest tractor fair was on. He dressed in his best clothes, jumped in the car and headed off into town.
As he got closer to the fair grounds, he could see there was quite a bit of interest in the tractors. People were everywhere. He parked the car and off he went. His heart was running fast. He could hardly contain his excitement. He paid his entrance fee and in he went.
Wow, he coild not believe his eyes, every tractor he could inagine was there. From the old massey Fergusons right up to the latest john deeres. He walked around the fair for 20 minutes or so and came across a new McCormick tractor. It was beautiful. He walked around the tractor for a few minutes, sizing it up, then jumped on the first step, opened the cab door and he was inside. He turned the engine over and listened to the hum it made. Within a minute, security were onto him and jumped into the tractor and pulled him out. They gave him a stern warning that touching the tractors was off limits.

Not to be discouraged, he continued his walk through the fair. It was long before he came across the top of the range New Holland. He'd seen nothing like it. It was by far the best tractor he had seen. He had a quick walk around it, there was no security in sight so he took a chance. Up he jumped into the cabin, hit the start button and he was off. Imagining ploughing back on the farm. Security heard the commotion and again raced over and removed him from the tractor. " you do yhat again mate and you're out. Final warning."
He continued, a bit disappointed but hey, this was his dream come true and he wasnt about to let those setbacks ruin his day.

As he got about halfway through the exhibition he came across a huge stage, "The Worlds Greatest Tractor". It was a massive John Deere, a true allrounder in agriculture. He couldnt contain his enthusiasm. He had a good look around, no security to be seen. In a secong he was off, up the stage steps, up the steps of the john deere and into the cab.
He locked the doors and slammed the start button. The machine started with a roar. Wow, this was the best thing ever, he turned on the radio, pumped up the air conditioner and closed his eyes and thought of driving this baby at home. He was startled to find the security onto him so quickly. This time they grabbed him by the shirt, reefed him out of the cab and marched him straight to the exit. As they got him outside they threw him into the dirt and told him not to return.
He was devastated. He couldnt believe it. He'd been thrown out. This was the most embarrassing moment of his life.
He stood, dusted himself off and looked around.

Across the road was a pub. Well, why not he thought. This had turned out to be his worst day ever.
He walked into the pub and up to the bar and ordered a beer. The barman could see he was a bit unsettled and asked if everything was ok. Yeah, its ok mate.
At this moment the farmer noticed the barmans eyes were red and a bit watery. Is everything ok with you mate, your eyes look sore.
The barman replied that the smoke from the patrons smoking played with his sinuses sometimes.
The farmer got off his stool, walked into the middle of the room and took his deepest breathe ever. The barman couldnt believe what he was seeing. This farmer had just sucked all the smoke from the room in 1 breath. The farmer walked over to the nearest window and blew it all outside.
He walked back to the bar and the barman said,"that is bloody amazing! How can you do that?"
The farmer looked at him and said, "its easy mate, im an ex tractor fan".

At the local University, there were four students taking chemistry and all of them had an 'A' so far.

These four friends were so confident that, the weekend before finals, they decided to visit some friends and have a big party.

They had a great time but, after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Uni until early Monday morning.
Rather than taking the final then, they decided that after the final they would explain to their professor why they missed it.

They said that they visited friends but on the way back they had a flat tyre and as a result, they missed the final.

The professor agreed they could make up the final the next day . . . The guys were excited and relieved. .. . They studied that night for the exam.

The next day the Professor placed them in separate rooms and gave them a test booklet.

They quickly answered the first problem worth 5 points.

Cool, they thought!

Each one in separate rooms, thinking this was going to be easy. . . .

Then they turned the page.

On the second page was written. . .

For 95 points: Which tyre? _________
