"In 1986, HMAS Perth visited Hobart as part of celebrations for the 75th anniversary of the Australian navy's foundation. On arriving in Hobart, the destroyer accidentally rammed a wharf damaging her bow and the two-storey CH Smith chandlers building, while narrowly missing a "Welcome" sign"
Life is all about perspective. Two lads on the wharf on the other side of this picture were rolling around laughing at this. All the Crew and Officers on Perth looked far more serious. The Captain may have spent the rest of his career safely on a shore base[bigwhistle]
Chatting with a mate about this yesterday. We had been Northern Hemisphere each winter for a few years. Hobart even in Spring in Summer uniform with Snow on Mt Wellington had some knocking knees as we sailed up to Hobart[biggrin]

The Coronavirus Is Airborne Indoors. Why Are We Still Scrubbing Surfaces?
Scientists who initially warned about contaminated surfaces now say that the virus spreads primarily through inhaled droplets, and that there is little to no evidence that deep cleaning mitigates the threat indoors. Link
Wash your hands still gents[biggrin]

I hear some people even remove their clothes & shove them in the Washing Machine.

etc etc etc.
Just because the guy on the Wharf yelled "Come In Number 38 your time is up" he didn't really expect it to come in that quick.
Not one of Australia's finest in action was it?
International studies have proven that trying to fit into modern washing machines with your clothes ON can be detrimental to your health. [bigrolf]Quote:
