I was talking to an old digger in Forbes about when he was fighting in New Guinea , " Stinking Jap $%@* killed me two brothers , & shot me in the leg." He then pulled up his trouser leg to reveal half the back of his leg missing. I asked him how old was he when he went up there. He said " Nearly seventeen..." I said " So you were 16?" He replied " Nearly !" & just gave me a grin. My late great Auntie was one of the Nurses that were on the the Medical ship torpedoed by the Japs leaving Singapore.She survived & spent 3 years as a POW . Matron,as we used to call her, was under the command of Vivienne Bulwinkle , she was one of the nurses who survived being marched into the sea & machined gunned in the back , by laying face down in the water pretending to be dead . Now we have troops in Iraq protecting Japanese Engineers.

good to hear the patronisn,Had a grandfather serve in France,on the Somme in the 5th division and an uncle in guinea, he was in the party that went in to collect and identiy the remains of the 300 men beheaded by the japenese,.It was very dissapointing to see the mess left beind after the service at Gallipolliboundry rider

Yep, I'm extreme when it come to patrioism, I still stand when I hear God save the Queen and heaven help anyone who is disrespectfull to our flag. I would have gladly served in Veitnam or wherever else my country orded me to go

.I believe both girls and boys should have to do some time in National service.My Pop served in France in the 66th AIF. re the beheading, a fellow who worked here one time served in Guinea and he used to talk about the fuzzy wuzzys I think who used to go out at night in the pitch black and collect Japenese ears so it happened on both sides. Yeah, I heard that there was an awfull mess left behind at Gallipoli which is extremely disapointing.Cetainly shows lack of respect in my eyes to the people they were supposed to be honouring and the Turks who give us access to the site.I was disappointed when I heard it was more like a 'woodstock' and they were playing Bee Gees etc. What next ??I get narked off when I see cans and rubbish that people throw out of their cars onto the side of the road here.

If the drought would ever f@*% off we could get bio-deisel again. Made from Canola oil ,theres a plant in Moama. Fearnes coaches in Wagga used to run 40 buses on it,reckoned it was great. I know a gearjammer who was using it in his KW B-double,half a gear better up hills, less smoke, better economy etc. Only problem was , he reckoned it smelt like a fish shop.

[asra]

I'll bring some over latter on in the year for you Birdy only a $1.02 for unleaded, $1.10 dieselMark
