What if you have a right foot ???

I've been driving outback for 40 years and had a few hits, plenty of 'close ones' and for the last decade I splashed out with 6 bucks at supercheap for a pair of black plastic whistles and my experience is they work. Will they save you from ever hitting a roo again, No, but if they reduce the incidence by my guess 80% well $6 well spent. I've mentioned it to many people and some say BS but others have agreed in a change in the behaviour pattern.

Hmmm.. so much for beliefs, eh? (Of course, I don't pass judgement on people I don't know.. just an observation of human behaviour... )

Same God they believe, same about everything except a few extra words on the end of the 'Our Father'

Funny you should say that, was Catholic but liked his secretary so changed to Anglican and got married. All the time Chaplain in Army so Job didn't really change.

Sent it to my Brother, He's a Priest.

Also fictional movie U571 

The Malay campaign consisted of many heroic battles by retreating Commonwealth forces in a very difficult terrain with heavy tolls and atrocities by advancing Japanese forces including the Parit Sulong Massacre and the Alexandra Hospital Massacre. The fall of Singapore was a disaster, surrendering to a smaller force. I can only imagine the disappointment felt by those who fought only to lay down their arms and endure years of suffering. Also resulting in the subsequent murder of many thousands of Chinese during the Sook Ching Operation

Wiki has a good account and is a good read, jump off into sub headings for more information.

where are you

I usually answer with something male - "thinking about the difference between AC and DC electrical current" usually changes the subject

I think the Shiraz was a good idea.

re Atta Boy. Before the excavator moved in next door to demolish the house, two guys worked on the roof removing and throwing down tiles. No harness, no scaffold, no hard hats, no masks.

 

Thats the way my dad had us boys clean the fibro roof.

He'l have to hang around for help

What could possibly go wrong

Well maybe I'm dumb, maybe it's just me (and every else). I can'y work it out. After a reasonable period of time can you let us know (me) please Red.

May have been posted before, getting to be a long thread -
