 Oh no danger of that... I think the Aborigines are far more relaxed these days.

You mean I should have stayed in Toowoomba? Home now.

Besides, they'll aim the missiles at Mr Turnbull! And he lives in Sydney - isn't that the most important location to some Asian people?

Isn't there an Army base near Townsville, it could be a prime target if Julia Bishop isn't gagged soon. Good luck Chief.

All political comments aside because I believe they are unwarranted because all idiots do not need recognition, I am actually gearing up to head south. Tuna at Portland! Tad early, but in three weeks I am going.

Yep. My daughter works there and she lives in a flight path of the RAAF base. Usually every year when I arrive Army and RAAF are playing war games so I am not even thinking about any possible problems.

 Hey Dougwe, I wouldn't worry too much about "Chubby" in NK, at the moment he's having problems getting his missile up and this is obviously having an impact on his little boys syndrome.

Dougwe.

Do the Yanks still send that bloody great thing they call an aeroplaneonce a yr.,

They had to put temp, wing wheel tracks down for it.
And when you stood under it. the sun disappeared.

Biggest bloody "moveable" man made thing I'd ever seen wearing wings.

Mind you.

We get this "Baby" Russian freighter in Rocky on a steady basis.

This one, IS the baby.

Daddy model runs 6 engines.

 

ps Count the wheels on that mother.

Plenty of Mexicans on the Bruce Hwy at the moment so they're not all scared of our weather or that fat grub from NK.

Hope to go North to Darwin

Not really concerned if war breaks out, as I have made plans

Plan A
When the big bang comes, turn off hearing aids, to use them as ear plugs

Plan B
My backup plan
smile Carry own basin, in case we have to become a Who Flung Dung, look-a-like smile
