Told my people the story and by and large they were pretty good about it.
Thankfully they know me well enough to know it wasn't my idea, or...

I'm not going to lie to my Crew - never intended to.

I can't even begin to imagine how sacary it must have been for the poor buggers.
Our kids now days have no real idea of what the last generation had to go thru.

LEST WE FORGET.

Ivan In Oz.
We don't welcome snakes around here. Unfortunately we mainly get Tiger Snakes here and they're mean buggers. We've had 6 dogs killed in the area in the past couple of months alone. I...

As for the plastic snakes Tonto. We also have a problem with swallows trying to nest all along our front verandah. The little buggers even started...

Thanks Wood Butcher - I'll try that one. I've done the whaet bait bit, but I've gotta be careful with a new pup around.

The Parrot

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad

You're absolutley right Sebastiaan56. If the general population of Japan knew how much we loath whaling, they might actually put pressure on the government to stop it.

Great post Gooner.:2tsup:

Cheers.....obee.
