    Bravo Zulu.


    No revolution required this week

    . That's great. So not this week, ok. Just remembered I've got a Specialist Plumber coming on the 31st so any other time will be ok, James. I'll pencil it in.

    And yet when Hurley was previously on the review panel he rejected recommending the award - while the award is to be applauded, it is a result of changing times not new information - which is sad.

    FYI, this bloke is not your usual Tap washer change merchant but uses hydrogen gas mixed with Nitrogen to locate gas leaks & sonic stuff to pin down water leaks & ****. Through bitumen & packed soil.


    Insurance Co is paying not me, but he sounds expensive. They use pipeline cameras & stuff to inspect the guts.

    The mask remark was in relation to the revolution.

    Ordinary Seaman Teddy Sheean, VC. Word has it that Japanese Air Force records regarding the Attack on Armidale helped tip it in his favour. What a pity his mother passed on before this announcement. She had her three sons in uniform , fighting in a War far from home. We all remember the sacrifices our fighting men and women made , Mothers made no less of a sacrifice. Lest we forget.

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

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    And now, what of the men of the YARRA ? It has been said to be the bravest action by any RAN ship, a 4 inch Sloop attacking head on three 8 inch Japanese cruisers, to protect the small convoy she was escorting. Sounds like a hollywood movie, except it was real.
