Thanks cecc, here is the link to a short video I have on YouTube. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9CQ3M6t0wU&feature=youtu.be> I don't have any of me using it in a waterway as yet as almost invariably I go bush on my own. The video you will see is as a result of strapping my phone to a deck...

Backcreek, full marks. Neil Brian Davis, combat cameraman 1934 - 1985. In Bangkok on Monday 9 September 1985 yet another military coup d'tat, relatively bloodless affairs in Thailand, ironically delivered Neil Davis to his appointment with a visceral, brutal death. As Davis, Bill Latch...

Sorry Reefer, not Pat Bugess but you are very much on the right track. More clues; On the 29th January 1977, after being a confirmed notorious ladies man and leading a free-wheeling life style my whole life, I was married in Taiwan to Taiwanese woman. We did not have any children and without...

I think you got enough response there '76 so I wont add to it. But it reminds me of a place I was deployed to in 2007/8. I shared digs with this crazy Romanian who was a conspiracy theorist who's theories became more and more mental the shittier this place became. We were surrounded by rice...

After the fall of South Vietnam to the communist North, I stayed on in Saigon for about a month but with the Communist Government now controlled what journalists were permitted to report, I decided it was time to leave. I then moved to Bangkok, Thailand where I could keep an eye on the...

Newcastle foreshore is rather nice these days, a lot of history and archaeology along the harbour and river front. I could move back to Newie any day! The Peacekeeper.

Dave(from the)NT presumably, I am one St. Barbara's children from the Gun Line. Karen, glad to have given you a giggle, I will consider it my good deed for that day. Now I just need to make up for yesterday because most of it I spent skulking on the lounge with my brain in an odd-elliptical...

Evening greencheeks, I too have developed an effective crevicing device and have posted it here on the forum a few months back. As most people have appreciated, the valves are the thing you have to get right and take a lot of work to be effective and reliable. Also the cost of the materials...

Sunday dinners, such a simple thing that is so rewarding sharing and spending time with our families. Reminds me of the wisdom of, "There is no present like the time". I'm baching it tonight but I did have a very good rib-eye on the bone with some simple steamed fresh vegies. And on vegies, I...

I don't know what it was......the noise of his postie bike...or, him trying to get away. I've always wanted to bite the bugger anyway, he rips the junk mail outa the letter box and flings it all over the place. Oh ****!
