..... I am convinced that it will generate greater returns, and it is simpler, if I publish each and every Humpy hubcap, rather than just polishing them. Many people don't realise that every one of those hub caps is individually numbered and each therefore has a unique history that I think your average Skippy would be very interested in, particularly number 9,642, which was part of the .....

..... they received hub cap # 10147 from Bill Wilson , the Dealer Principal at Gympie Holden.

As an interesting trivia item, it was hub cap #10147 that was presented to Her Madge & Phil the Greek during one of their visits and which got Bobby Menzies one of his gongs.

To save on excess baggage charges, Her Madge had offloaded this precious item to the one wharfy that was working, cleaning the Royal Yacht in ......

As we all know, Turdy will boast and opinionate about anything if he thinks he can get away with it, yet what had happened was so egregious that he had to ......

 

All NESers should note that both Capt bull and Cappy are staying totally loyal to our mate & compatriot, Turbo, as we are not dobbing him in, no matter what, even if he had proven via this episode on the island, to be a bit of an opportunist, a cad and a dispicable bounder. Such is the loyalty that Turdy engenders in all who come in contact with him.

........think back through all Cappy's nefarious acts and finally admit that he'd beaten even Cappy.

All we can say it it involved six grains of wheat.

It's good to see the NES being graced by the Big Prawn Ship Captain. Not many people know that for the last month bull had been engaged in an epic battle trying to land a giant white prawn.

It had simply eaten through his nets, so he tried shooting it, running over it in his tinny and even tying a cable around it and dragging it backwards towards shaw but each time it just gave a flick of that giant tail and ....................

As Turbo well knows, the trick is to always count them prior to insertion, then reconcile the count after removal.

bull smiled as he thought; "its dive rate is faster than any XXXXXXX prawn too!"

Like Captain Ahab, he regularly spoke to Methusla on high.

He always got an answer because he started with "Hi Meth, rivets come out of the Thruster yet?"

On this occasion he was more reverent and Methusla wished him well for the coming battle.

He saw the HUGE outline of the big white praen ahead of him in the murky water; in the distance was a sunken ship ...................
