The Temple of Grockle

[easo]

Three Sargent Majors, American, British and Aussie are talking about who has the toughest soldiers,

The American says "we have the toughest by far" and calls a young Private over orders him to put his kit on and jump out of a tree. The privates without question grabs his gear climbs up the tree and jumps, breaking both legs. The American says " now that's tough!".

The British Sargent Major laughs saying "that's not tough, this is tough" and calls over one of his privates. "Sir". He orders the private to get his full pack, kit and a machine gun, run 11 miles and jump off a building. So the private grabs his stuff legs it off on the run comes back and makes the jump. Breaking nearly every bone in his body with some internal bleeding! The British Sargent Major scoffs "now that's tough!"

The Aussie Sargent Major looks at them both and calls a digger over. "hey mate" he calls. He orders the digger to grab all his gear, run 15 miles, do 100 push-ups and jump off a 2 storey building. The digger looks at him, looks at his gear, looks at the building then looks back at the Sargent Major..................... He raises an eyebrow and bellows, "GET ***KED!, I'm going to the boozer" and walks off. The Aussie Sargent Major looks at the other two and says "now that's tough!, I'm going to the boozer".

[HBWC]

night andy and hi admeral

[HBWC]

have i got the mv hohar to my self this early in the night

[Grockle]

aye up Jono,for those wondering why it took several hours to boil the egg it was because it was still in the customer from hell's pocket and he kept trying to get out of the pan(you know the sort eh Coopes)

[HBWC]

lol ok hopefully a easy day from now on then

[Pedro_The_Swift]

so that makes it a HARD egg,, right Mr G?

do they taste better than over easy types?

[dmdigital]

so that makes it a HARD egg,, right Mr G?

do they taste better than over easy types?

Why would Grockle want American style eggs:confused:

7 minutes for a hard boiled egg. Don't know if having it in a customer's pocket may change that:confused:

[Pedro_The_Swift]

He's special our Mr G,,
7 minutes for a hard one,,:Thump:

I'd walk out of his "kitchen" without my shirt!!:p

[The ho har's]

There is another thread that speaks of using Chat room I have never been able to open that has anybody tried to open it successfully????


Mrs hh:angel:

PS sorry for being serious there for a moment:(

[Sleepy]

Yes Mrs HH, I had a good chat with hiline and B92BNW (or whatever his user name is :D) and a few others one night.

It could never replace the skulls/temple/stars thread either. (only cause I'm not quick enough with my smart alec replies :angel:)

[The ho har's]

It was turned off for quite a while because of the resources it took up I think, but I could never get it to work for me :( It always told me i didn't exist :( I must be a figment of my own imagination :D

yep was just there and sure enough it wouldn't recognise me either so is there something we are not doing right sleepy??


Mrs hh:angel:

[Sleepy]

Yes Mrs HH I can get it to work.
It is a java applet (I think that is some kind of small fruit from Indonesia:angel:)

What we need INC to do is have a little indicator of how many in the CHAT

ie CHAT (2 online) or similar - then you could pop in for a look.

Then again, there are plenty other spots on the WWW for live chatting. INC probably doesn't need the hassle or drain on resources.

[Sleepy]

I want to see a deep water crossing in Pogg:cool::twisted:

[LandyAndy]

Fair size eggs Groc.
We only have the 4 hens,Rhode Island Reds,no rooster so its quite ok to leave the eggs out there for a week.No nasties inside.
They have just finished their clucky cycle.3 hens stacked on a couple of eggs in the middle of summer,silly girls.

Most FOXES do have a soft spot for a chook.

This is what I want. That exact cab. Its a fair trade if the my wife wants more kids, I get a bigger truck!

Hey Grock! Seen any of theis up your way?

[DeanoH]

WOW you bought an oka...must not let ho har see this...that has to be the next best thing to a Landy...congradulations well done the best touring machine there is IMHO


Mrs hh:angel:

Yep! We wanted something that could do some serious off road touring and this fits the bill perfectly. 4 litre turbo Perkins, 2X105 litre tanks, 80 litre water tank, Spicer gearbox, Dana axle assemblys, 12000lb WARN winch and 305/70R19.5 wheels. And most of that's standard. Have got LSD's to fit front and rear so that I can now get bogged really properly. And the best bit..............................only two electronic devices in the whole vehicle, the radio and the speedo.:)

Deano

[Sleepy]

sweeeet deano :cool:-

cool! an OKA
you could call it quokka,
it's nearly as big as a fokker,
must have big shockers,
does it have diff lockers?
think I'm speakin a crock a..
I better calm down and have a beta blocker

[HBWC]

has that oka got the perkins or the cummins

[easo]

Seen this yet Deano? OKA Owners Group : OKA Owners Group (http://www.okaownersgroup.info/tiki-index.php)

Easo

[LandyAndy]

They were made in Perth.Perkins turbo diesel and Dana running gear.Originally ran 9.00x16 tyres,but went to a larger diameter rim later when the 9.00 tyres became hard to buy in WA.
They were popular with mining exploration companies,minesite transport and off-road tourist coaches.The bodies were all modular,ranged from single cab,dual cab,triple cab,bus and ambulance bodies.
Shame they are not still made.
Very tough,biggest problem was they were a tad overweight.
Andrew

andy their was a few special ordered with a cummings motor as a few mates that worked their (brothers)where peed that they had to fit them

[easo]

Did they export any?

I like the look of this too, http://www.diskdrive.co.za/new_launches/nl2001/land_rover_defender_147.html

[Grockle]

This is what I want. That exact cab. Its a fair trade if the my wife wants more kids, I get a bigger truck!

Hey Grock! Seen any of theis up your way?

It looks abit like a Blackpool built Podmore Grumpy 1.2 ltr 4x4 convertable unit,which in five minutes can be converted from a fish and chip van to a moblie toilet block or caravan and even a mobile cinema other options in there broshure are easi clean wheels, AM/LW radio cassette with one speaker which doubles as a PA system when being used as a nosey parker gov snooper vehicle,sealed beam torch and belt hook.

[Sleepy]

I thought they were finished too. That's great.

[LandyAndy]

Good to hear.
The factory in Bibra Lake sat empty for years.Good to see somebody bought them out.
Andrew

[DeanoH]

Seen this yet Deano? OKA Owners Group : OKA Owners Group (http://www.okaownersgroup.info/tiki-index.php)

Easo

Yep. We're members and all.
The new NT model has a V8 Cummins which meets the current Euro 3 standards with an Allison auto on the back. OKA had a bit of trouble with the upgraded axles the sourced from Europe somewhere. Dunno why they didn't keep the Dana's. The version we have is called a multi-cab, double bed fits in lengthways in the cab. Also come in tray, single cab and bus variants. You should see the transfer case, no kidding its bigger than a VW engine and is made by a Vickers offshoot for an armoured car. Certainly one tough 4WD.

deano

[Grockle]

[QUOTE=easo;1176162]Did they export any?

yes Dan, two Podmore Grumpy's were exported one as an indoor market in Doncaster, South Yorkshire and the other went to a OAP home in Lincoln as a play bus.

Pretty right but they are still being made. Tare weight varies with configuration, anything from 3.5 tonne up, I think, with a GVM of 5500.
Drove ours back from Sydney VFL Grand Final weekend, rotten weather and got 13.5l/100Km which I didn't think was too bad. 100Km/hr is about 2100rpm in 5th gear.
Mine cost under $30K, had no off road work and has done 160,000Km only.

a/g coxn (killick) deano

very true Deano,have you seen Ken Loach's film, The wind that shakes the barley ?

[DeanoH]

Mind you...I like a Black Velvet :D

Mr Midshipman deano esq.

[Grockle]

Jacket? Curtain? Leotard? or Tongue?:D

Poggs roof ? :D

[Sleepy]

Evening all :) Howzit.

[DeanoH]

very true Deano,have you seen Ken Loach's film, The wind that shakes the barley ?

No I havn't. A sad part of history, 1917 the Post Office and all. One of the "miscreants' actually had the VC he'd won in WW1 stripped from him. I think he was hanged.

deano

[Grockle]

na then sleepy, what ya been doin today then

[Grockle]

I've arranged a peat cutting display when we get to Molls Gap on the Ring of Kerry,Kevin O'Driscal is the Fastest peat cutter in Ireland and has lost all his toes in the process(so don't mention his size 3 shoes as he's over 6' tall)of this feet:o:Deaso if you do another one your travelling on the roof;)

[LandyAndy]

Hope you are saving a day or 3 for the Guinness factory tour Groc.
Love Guinness in winter,brew a couple of Guinnes style homebrews when its cold here.Loves a long slow brew.
Andrew

[DeanoH]

Thats sounds a bit sad but I think I'd like to see it being interested in WW1 & WW2 and all that ( the social history that is not the military tactics or lack of);)

Better be careful about being to serious here :D

Oi Deano...how come you get so many promotions in one sitting?

Point taken my Lady

Us ex-midshipman are but a young and carefree breed learning the ways of their betters and are having a rare repast of roast rat and porter in the middys hutch this evening if you'd care to join ?
One of the benefits of being left in charge by Cap'n Grock is the ability to self promote.......................in a humble way of course.

From Mr Cooper (is that Finemore?)...................My comment would be.......I think you should dare:D, never figured out how to multi quote, must have to open a second window or something....hmmm.
Us officers are far to gentlemanly to stoop this low, that is without financial or other reward.

a/g sub-lieutenant Deano kcmg etc

[Grockle]

thats right Vixen,Kevin is bog standard no options fitted at all,next stop Kilarney were we have some musical entertainment by the group Natural Gas who will sing there 2002 Irish No1 'He's a langer', sing or hum along

[DeanoH]

Did Easo do the sound effects in "The Wind That Shakes The Barley" and special effects?:angel: And was it in smellorama?

Aaah! is that why the Guiness is so flavoursome? A bit like Colonel sanders special herbs etc, special flavouring of the barley. dam fiendish these Irish.

Lt Cmdr Deano

[LandyAndy]

[Grockle]

evenin all,I bet you two weren't out in a Grindle Gaddabout MK3 from the small secret car co., built in a box room in Watford Hertfordshire,most were painted either emulsion white or cream depending on which room in the house had just been decorated,powered by a Mobelette 49cc moped engine(Mr Grindle,'Perce' to close friends and customers of long standing)had a shed full of these from when he worked at Granby Motors who were the sole importers,(and paid him sometimes in these engines)he told me about the deluxe model were he left the pedals on for driver comfort.

Perce(as he said I could call him)once drove Mrs Grindle to High Wycombe and back in one week in the early 50's,quite a feat as he could'nt drive and Mrs Grindle was terrified of swift travel of any sort,preferring to hop(not on a bus but just to hop about) when going about her household duties this included collecting 5 gal drums of Castrol R30 from Luton.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Hmmmm,,, R30:cool:

[HBWC]

[Grockle]

[HBWC]

[The ho har's]

[Grockle]

I certainly hope you are referring to your footwear kind sir.


No sir! This is a footwear over sweaty feet preferred kind of joint:DWe don't have a spa and bar:( But we do have a bucket and sponge and an esky;)

Sponge baths and ice boxes. This sounds like a hospital I attended when I got my elective surgery. I had the fat of the king of rock strategically injected into my body. I am a very attractive man and my wife would get jealous when female strangers asked for my number. One woman even tried to hump my leg in Sydney's Flemington Markets. I felt used and dirty. My wife and saviour hit her wife a dodgy Kebab, my attacker ran through the crowd squealing and yelping like a scorned banshy.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

dont we have a keyless push button thingy?

can you nick one from work Mr G??

[HBWC]

na grok its a micro chip so you dont need keys just like a d4

[dobbo]

FO ho har:angel:

Of course

I Appologise (is that the aussie way of spelling Apologize, everyone seems to use it)

Of course I was referring to

Second Hand IT equipment.

[dobbo]

I think that was my mother,she was famous for doing that,and was eventually banned from there(you know how that feels) She now is a bit old and just likes fondling those chrome rope holders that you get in bank queues;)


your the son of a chrome ballard humper. The storm has just passed and the pieces have all landed in the right spot

[HBWC]

hay grock when are we going to the pub

[Grockle]

[DeanoH]

Of course

I Appologise (is that the aussie way of spelling Apologize, everyone seems to use it) .....................

Apologising's all the go these days, very Prime Ministerial. Replaced crying as the national sport amongst cricket captains, national leaders and the such.

Hi Cap'n Grock, abdab Deano reporting for duty in the crows nest my Captain.
