Wot! You think I need tips on how to spend a Million? Yeah roight.

I reckon I could make a bloody good hole in it before running out of ideas. Wouldn't you?


As some one said, I'd spend it on Expensive women, Booze, some new cars, & I'd squander the rest.

Naaaaaaah, you can't take it with you even if they ordered a 40' shipping container for a Coffin & some bastard Mortuary Assistant(s) would have it all away before getting planted.


Of course you'd be in for 20 grand as well as that other Fridgie bloke that calls in here now & then. What is his name Mick, ***** ah yes Rick.

"Loose lips sink ships?" In my day we could break down with out the entire world knowing Actually in my day Adelaide was also FFG (Frigate) not a partly submersible hospital equipped humongous helicopter dock I would have loved to have a swan dive off the flight deck from when I got a tour

It wouldn't be the only ship of any type that had Pod power problems. Friends going the short hop to Fremantle on one of the Queens a few years ago & flying back were stuck in our Outer Harbour for over a day. The said "Watch the video from the bridge" So like a trusting fool I did & was still watching the same Seascape the next day. Outer Harbour Container port in the distance.



I'm not sure a reliable Pod is even made but our experts would have assessed this, right?

A Spanish built vessel.

Defence confirmed back-up power had been activated and civilians were being sent to assess problems on the ship.

Civvies?? You would think the Navy "Chappies" could have got it going after all they have had yonks to practice on it.



WW3. "Hello Garden Island after hours Service? Adelaide here in the Baltic Sea' Have you got someone handy there who knows about the beer fridge? Wossat you'll send someone up pronto will you?

They'd have to check that Tombie was sober.
He could always flick pass it to the old fella from the Hills, he's supposed to be handy around a frige.
