In view of the rantings, ravings and terrorising by one unnameable individual of the rest of the contributors to these pages, I feel that reference should be made to:

Ducky you need to be careful, the chinese had a special use for "old ducks"

If an old male duck is cooked so as to melt in the mouth, it has the same positive effect as ginseng. For this reason, eunuchs like to eat the kidneys of male ducks.
As the eunuchs sexual physiology was altered and destroyed, they paid special attention to eating foods that invigorated their kidneys and stimulated their male virility.

There you go........................who said you were useless?

Oh No!! My goose is cooked................so to speak. Thanks a lot guys!! Terrorising?? hmmph..............I have not yet begun to terrorise.............unless I lose my kidneys first!! Gonna be tough without them!! I am hurt..............you have cut me to the quick...................now I have to spend my life with a cut quick!! Thanks Rolly!! No need to smile and pretend you aren't enjoying this Gary!!!

After some consideration and a great deal of thought........I don't know why I ever liked you two guys anyway??

Peter in the Navy he was Known as "The Tongue".For a very good reason I may add.Cheers.Ibbo.

Basil is busy googling eunichs...

Basil as long as you were Googling not gargaling,Yeah I know Chris "grubby".so sorry ,please forgive me..Cheers.Ibbo.

I thought you liked to "google" bimbo's Basil and yet here we find you chasing eunuch's you are using a euphemism aren't you or are you indeed researching eunuchs!

I'm still trying to get the image of the duck tongue out of my mind. Eeewww!

I am still gob smacked that you are all taking The Duck's name in vain, shame on all of you. He is a fine upstanding member of this community and should be worshipped and followed by all and sundry.

Firefly,if ducky sees you in that gown he will turn into a Gander and try to Goose you.Yes you are right he should be followed,dont let him get behind you as he has been known to pull faces and do Funny walks,even when sober.I saw him at a night club in downtown Shanghi doing the sailors Hornpipe on a table,trouble was that he was standing on his hands and wearing a kilt.Talk about pole dancing.Better go,Bromide time again.Cheers.Ibbo.Ps put a padlock on your garter.

I near wet myself laughing then Ib, still think you take his name in vain though. 

Firefly.................You sweet gorgeous lady!! It's just you and me until forever!!

Thank for looking after me!!


P.S.     YES!!!   Love the gown!!    But alas ........I fear Ibbo is right!!  When you look like that......my actions are not to be trusted!!




Hey Ibbo......was Shanghai that I did that little dance?   I thought it was in Hong Kong during the hailstorm when the hailstones kept hitting my.......................ohh never mind!!

Batting practice maybe.No Honkers was the time you and the lady with ping pong balls distributor played chopsticks on the Grand Piano during the Captains dinner party.I did say on the piano.I just loved the look on your face when the piano lid closed on your.........Manhood.Memories.Cheers.Ibbo.

You two sound like you go waaaaay back, how good is it to stay in contact.

Aaah YES!! Honkers Ibbo................Gawd what a place. I remeber very well the night you did the dance of "the flamers" and fell off the table....right into that old ladies lap and then set fire to her wig!! I haven't laughed so much in years. The best part was you standing there trying to apologise, with the newspaper still in there, and her thinking you were shaking hands with here and she was trying to shake your............... Top night!! We never did catch up with that Marine again did we??

Yes Firefly.......the Grey Nomad Forum has done this for us!!  Or to us!!

With all these exotic dances and piano playing, when did you have time to go off and save the world boys? 

With a vivid imagination and at tot or two of your fave bevvy, you can be anyone you want to be on Nomads. And some of us have a more vivid imagination than others, and then they put it in writing..... Mmmmm..........

If I didn't know you better Granny.......I would be very tempted to think that there was just the slightest hint of scepticism there. Tell me I'm not right in my assumption?? We saved the world in between, Firefly...it was only when we had a spare five minutes off that Ibbo would lead everyone astray. One day I will tell you about Ibbo and the gay Geisha in tokyo

Oh no,not Gherkin Jerkin Nanky Poo.i thought that we had sworn on the sacred oath of Despectable Druids that that story would never see the light of day.Talk about love being a many spledoured thing I had no idea the she was a he.Last time I ever play strip poker with a Geisha girl with a moustache.I still remember sipping Saki from his/her left shoe,I think it was a shoe.Anyway Disco thank you for dropping me in the mire again.Better not talk about Les Girls at the Cross.Very revealing story wasn't it mate.Cheers.Ibbo.

I was never at Les Girls and you can't prove it was me. There may have been similiarities and maybe a reasonably strong resemblance but...................!! Mate.....she was gorgeous though wasn't he?? Thanks for dragging me out before I proposed!! I don't know why you are so uptight about Japan.........I haven't spilt the beans......a sacred oath is a sacred oath Brother!! And you know me......I can oath as good as the rest of them!!

Yes disco,remember the little bar we were relaxing in at Hiroshima?You standing on the bar and yelling"In coming aircraft"Cheers.Ibbo.

Well that was taken the wrong way too. I didn't know that big mongrel could fight like that. Hit me everywhere but the soles of my feet and the roof of my mouth. I still get the shivers when I see one of them walking around. I reckon it took me half an hour and six bottles of saki to get over that. LOL But hey....good fun though!! And you standing there try to sing.......funniest thing ever!!

Will you two ever "let up "???? LOL

I hope not Dell.  

Mr Terro..................I regret to inform you that Ibbo was the senior man and cause of much of my miseducation. If anyone could ever lead anyone down the wrong path ....it was one Martin "Ibbo" Ibbetson. It wasn't just me..........I may have on the odd occassion encouraged him a little........but there were several that he took under his wing (probably thought he had to do that as he was in the Fleet Air Arm). So much so that he was transferred to a very lonely base (I haven't told you this) in the North Atlantic for 6 months. We did everything we could to go and visit but never made it.

Alas Ducky the truth has to be told.I developed a severe allergy to avgas and avtur,as you are aware that both avgas and avtur are Aircraft fuels.As the Fleet Air Arm did not fly gliders.,I was retrained as a Diver......now I know just what you are thinking,that's ok just keep on thinking.The North Atlantic is the coldest place on Earth.It was during my time in Iceland that I took up the sport of Seal shearing,seal wool was fetching a high price on the Bombay market at the time.The allergy cleared up and I returned to my former Naval Air Station at Lossiemouth.That is where I came across my future Aussie mates.The Nowra Buccaneers,Pirate,sBush Rangers,Crims,piss Pots, in fact the greatest bunch ofdisrespectful,authority knockers ever.I fitted in well this bunch of renegades and decided that as my parents lived in Australia I should join them.Applied ,transferred 12 months later.A story for another time.Cheers.Ibbo.Do Muffs ring a bell Ducky?
