    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    Well, after a great Anzac Day, wkith our daughter telling us she is with child, for our second grandchild, well we need another chanty. When over in England for the Queens Jubilee, 1977, on HMAS Brisbane, we spent time at Portsmouth. Up till that point I had no idea what English were like, because all I had was poms whinging at home. What a lesson. We found a great mob of people, who accepted us and looked after us. I'd be prepared to fight for them, if it came to that.

    Of course they are bob, mind you some of the "whingeing Poms" had a lot to whinge about back then, new country, crap housing they were given despite promises & expectations from Australia House London. Jobs. etc.

    My F i L WO2 (MBE) was REME British Army, transferred to RAEME (WO1) in Aust. & he was buggerised about with promised housing as the person would not move out of the Army digs although she was a civilian left over from when the adjoining premises were taken over, while paying out big dosh (no reimbursement) per week for crap accommodation for his 5 family members at Elder Park Hostel while others came & went from their cardboard walled, one light bulb digs.

    He was awarded his MBE while stationed in Mogadishu post war, for his service in keeping the Guns & Vehicles up to scratch at Normandy & Northern France under very difficult conditions. He had also been at Dunkirk.


    Oh yes there were some right whingers but if they didn't have the good olde English sense of humour they wouldn't have survived the ordeal.

    Well, another Anzac day done and dusted. My brain hurts. Here is a nautical song for all those who may be feeling a little dusty this morning. Where's the berocca?

    A little song that embodies what days like Anzac Day , for sailors at least, are about.
