..... and swamped their kayaks that were made from hemp, coke bottles and used nappies.

 

It was bull's cray boat, so ever the professional skipper, and despite it being against his very nature, bull stopped the boat and picked up the soaked "skid-mark" of Greenies. (A "skid-mark" being the correct and appropriate collective noun for a group of feral Greenies).

 

"Give them a feed Marky" said bull, who had Marky Mark rostered on as his 2nd mate for this trip (many people think that bull does not have any mates, but the normal on-board Cray Boat hierarchy has solved that).

 

Then bull continued "They can kip in the galley, but if Sarah H-Y is one of them, take her to my cabin, tell her to have a tub, and I'll be there soon to .....

Explanatory Note: The use of the term "skid-mark" in the above note does not refer to what Turbo does in the 'Vette each Friday night while cruising Lygon St. It refers to the Greenies that bull so despises, in the context of bull believing that the Greenies are a "skid-mark" on the underpants of Aussie society.

Mavis, at the Bowen RSL had seen to that.

He had treated her with the utmost respect even, when desperate for food after a long day's work he'd be waiting for an hours as gossiped with the washing up ladies who knew every sin committed or alleged to have been committed in the district.

bull had an ever so slight limp, a product of his service to Australia in Afghanistan (he'd tripped over on a rock going to the Khazi as the locals called it.

However, then bull also remembered OT's primary mantra that .......

 

The NES appreciates Turbo's latest contribution seeing as he was just released from Pentridge, after it was discovered that TC&AS (Turbine Caustic and Acidacious Substances NL) were the source of the attacks at the Melbourne protest, after Turdy donated a couple of gallons of acid to the Free Palestine Coalition. "What's the worst that could happen?" he said at the time, as he handed over the pannikin of fuming acid.

Turbo appreciates the concern of NES readers but it all started as he was entering the Exhibition with a cup of steaming coffee. He'd invited Cappy to come with him to see the Turbine Defence's new AI

Eagle UAV Attack Drone which could think for itself, and pick up weapons from the ground, like rocks, if it was out of ammo, and yell taunts if the ground was just grass or sand, and come back if called.

 

Cappy, who wasn't in a suit, just his calf-length shorts couldn't help himself and loudly yelled "THAT LOOKS LIKE ACID!" Fifteen cops shot him with rubber bullets, Gas Cannistered him, Tazed him, belted him and he was bitten by a Police Dog. He didn't tell you all that side of it did he. It was Turbo that had to get HIM out of it.

Now, everyone knows that Cappy has the attention span of a gnat, even in the heat of battle, when his compatriots are relying on Cappy to hold the high ground with his M60 - just the sound of "Greensleeves", and the sight of a Mr Whippy van will make Cappy abandon his position and his M60, to go get a Mr Whippy with Flake.

 

It was during the Dervish attack in the Battle of Omdurman, that Cappy first showed this tendency towards a lack of focus on the job at hand, and when the Mr Whippy van rolled up, right as the Dervishes advanced, Cappy true to form, ...........

..... Sky, Dougie Bader style.

 

But Turbo is a cool operator, once you scrape off all that surface rust, and he remembered his prize-winning joke accent from his days up the Khyber that Peter Sellers had borrowed for his moving pictures, so he activated his PTT and said "Excuse me sir, but oh my goodness, so could you please be flying straight and level for the sake of Shiva and our ancestors?" (Readers will note Turbo's calm demeanor and the fact that he was so focused that he did not have the time to include the essential [avrefs]).

 

The stewed-ant replied, "Oh crikey, you are correct kind sir, and I have levelled off at cruising throttle and at a safe altitude, praise be to the multi-headed elephant god."

 

Turbo de-blanched, recovered his composure, then walked to the ......

 

The Elephant God as referenced by the Stewed-Ant. With the rise of the Indian economy and the increased spending power of many of their citizens, Turbine Idollic Statues PLC has been established in Ranchi, to make such structures. (Just like Alfred Hitchcock used to make cameo appearances in his films, the nipples as depicted on each statue are dead spits of Turbo's own).

Sanjay settled into his new position with an order that no forms would be submitted electronically any more, it was too risky. All forms were to be submitted in quadruplicate, and copies kept of each copy.

 

Furthermore, Turbine Office & Printing Supplies was nominated as the only supplier of all CASA paperwork from henceforth on, and any form that did not have the imprint of a TOPS agency would be rejected.

 

In addition, Turbine Storage and Shelving was to supply a substantial amount of storage equipment, and Turbine Archival Services would be providing the necessary properties and archiving for storing all the filled-in forms.

 

It was just like being back in India, Sanjay reflected with pleasure, as he noted the large increase in CASA employees, all diligently filling in forms and storing them.

 

Then came the day when Sanjay found the............
