  1. ...the victimisation of Stock Inspectors, particularly at .................................
  2. The fact that his cat has four legs, so it doesn't make an ideal hobble. This reminds Turbo of the time, several years after his hands on phase, when he bought four sheep at the local market. The tradition on the farm when transporting less that five sheep was to bind three legs together with baling twine; of course sheep find it difficult to hop up and run away on one leg, just as we do. People on the land know there's always a knack in every single job and if you know it you can work safely all day long but if you don't you'll look a goose sooner or later and on this occasion, Turbo had forgotten the knack in tying the twine when he'd put the sheep in a low-sided trailer, and looked in the mirror on a particularly busy section of street to see three sheep standing up enjoying the view. VERY carefully, he turned a corner and eased the vehicle to a stop. It was not going to be easy to grab all three at once, but he noticed a helpful Samaritan in a blue boiler suit pull up behind him. It was the local stock Inspector; these are usually recruited from semi-retired CASA FOIs, so he knew he was in for a grilling, but he also knew that practice dictated that he had to catch the third sheep. This was quickly done and with Turbo holding two and the SI holding the big ram and his notebook (there is often loss of face if a sheep gets away from an SI, and they're inclined to forget the offences to get out of the ribbing when they get back to the stockyards.) There was a short discussion on what to do because he was a Millennial and tying sheep was unheard of. The trailer certainly wouldn't hold them and the SI could see that Turbo was about to let his go on the streets and worry about transport if he found them, leaving him the lone offender. The SI became placatory as they tried to work out what to do in this Mexican standoff. He suggested about the only thing Turbo could do was put them in the back of his Company 4WD Wagon. Turbo who was on very shaky ground quickly eased his two into the near new car, then put the seats down and helped the SI lift the big ram in. They parted with a meaningful look; no one was going to talk about this, but of course..................................................
  3. .....the shy and reclusive Turbo does his best to cope with these disabilities, and pushes forward to conquer the many obstacles in life, such as when a solid state hard drive saves your work one night then doesn't wake up the next morning. Or ......
  4. Turbo tried to shut down this unhelpful dialogue by ignoring OT, then Cappy has to go and spread his photo, taken at the Melbourne Art Centre before an unveiling. Turbo had worked on this design for years, arguing with the surgeons until he got the design right. those legs need to be that way to swing behind your ears. OT has also been to the same surgeon on recent months but had to go back for another try because he had too many black parts and that's not good in WA; he's had them replaced with gold to suit his................
  5. .......question when he asked; “Can you do Japan to Cowla one hour?” The other members looked at each other; it was Turbine Investments Inc which had put a limit on speed. Like Henry Ford who had to build the Mustang, a rich man’s Falcon to cover overheads and.....
  6. ........lobbing munitions exactly where they are needed. Pol Pot von Braun had a Jewish mother and when war broke out Werner vB cleverly sent them to Cowra Australia. Here PP as his mother called him, went through Cowra High School under a young Mark Oliphant. A young Japanese engineer who’d worked with the USAF and was on the team sent to examine the crashed spacecraft from Roswell found these things he called “Transistors” and he, Mark and PP designed a rocket which could hit.....
  7. You’re probably listening to someone who flies out of a city airport (8 to 12 in the circuit) and sticks to the formal phrases. There aren’t all that many phrases, so these people can usually pick up a transmission by the syllables if the radio is on the way out. This is why inventing your own phrases and locations are not a good idea if you ever come to the bigger airport. Yes they can and should slow down when they get out to quiet country circuits.
  8. ....jittery; he knew the Americans weren't into Final Solutions and even one life could get you into trouble, and he'd been telling people his parents were Cambodian, hence the accent. He would have to be careful setting up the track, and as he tapped it out on his IBM Golf Ball, he hesitated; was it 245+sqroot*40 or 2 squroot 40*45.............................

  10. ...the Ku Klux Clan German Chapter when he moved to Florida. He said it was for the sun, but as Mar-a Lago Avenue started filing with Shultz, Von Einem, Bleck, and Schatsenbaken families and Schitzels and Pretzels were added to the local pub's menu of gumbo, he began to wonder if he would be noticed, so volunteered his rocket skills to the US Government. NASA didn't say anything but remember that time when one of the rockets went round and round the earth three times before they could get it down, and the Mars rocket that shot past Mars and was last heard heading for ..................
  11. ......Vern was going through one of his Blue periods. As we know the V1 wasn't exactly a roaring success, most of them shooting straight over the top of England and landing out in the Artic Sea. Dolph cracked a joke and said Vern would be better off making pendants and the rest is history,
  12. ....., if the mood was right, start talking about his caves. “There was a small entrance labelled JG” he started, but it was huge inside. Asylum entered there was a sign saying ,’Das Alle Metin, JOE Gobles” - typical of course, no PR man could ever spell. In there were.....

  18. ....open laughter. Turbo scowled; he had supported these jounalists for years;played cricket with them, dressed them when they'd had too much to drink, and even written their stories for them when they were laying in the back rooms of the Melbourne club paralitic, bet when he started to tell them the story of the 7.62 they were moved to tears. Yes, it was true there were no rifling marks. The senior officers were the first to leave their posts when the edrvishes started ti win. Turo calulated their mathematical advantage at 1.04:1 so the best he could hope for was to die like a herol in 14 months and three days. He had to change that ratio so he started filing the rifling down in the barrel with an old nail file lent to him by Mata Hari who lived down the pass with George Hari her uncle. Night after night he filed until his fingers bled. Night after night he .......
  19. ......Order of Service at the Bungarra scratching World Championships. It was at one of these that OT's animal, which he had trained all year ........... Of Course it has Fixed-it-up (sic) [It's something that goes with Cappy. On the Khyber Firing Line, Turbo had to go night after night being penetrated by huge mosqitos because Cappy was drinking the Mosqito Lotion, but hey, what's a friend for.

  21. Hot, but very prickly and not very attractive in that Bob the Builder fluoro, but she tries not to interfere with Turbo's constant work keeping 253,876 public servants happy which usually means doing the rounds each day patting them on the head and saying "You've all done very well". He had tried doing it on zoom from the Coast, but the camera was never at he best angle, the sound always cut out and the image from the public servant was usually blurred. In one case, since he was passing by, Turbo decided to check in with one and found the camera on the deck pointed at a photo of the PS on a box on the chair. It was only when he threatened to fire the PSers and go AI that there was an effort to lift their game and get a quote before building a new road to Dan's farm. PS. Cappy will have to stand in line since within the family the Vette is more popular than Turbo even though it's constantly wearing out rear tyres.
  22. ....unrealistic in the wake of Cappy's statement that there were no tickets anymore, an emboldened OT shot out with "Where are you going to get tickets, Turbo", and cross his arms. "At the footy!" said Turbo dismissively and OT ....................
  23. Turbo apologises for his abrupt absence but he has been working 18 hours a day on a submission to the Victorian Government to save Turbine Central Mining which was just about to receive a Planning Permit to start blast mining under Ballarat for gold, when the Premier stepped in and had the Department of Mining's Permit replaced by an FOO, an overlay where you couldn't do anything unless the government wanted you to. Turbo had sent in the submission and one of her Advisors (supplied by Turbine Political Advisors) had told the Minister for Development she didn't think it was right that the Minster for Mining had called the Premier a moll just as the Premier was about to sign the FOO. The phone rang, the Premier flew into a rage and left yelling "AM I NOW!" and the advisor was able to quickly add "except for blast mining", the Premier came back and said "Now where was I?" saw the document, signed it, and so Turbo is back on deck.
  24. Had been attending Suntan Clinic twice a day and learning the First Nations language which these days required a lot of “deadly” and “bro” sounds and “mobs” and now said “We abolished tickets years ago and......
  25. Yes relatively rare, but it fits in with the ATSB perameter of return on investment. The State Police investigate RA fatalities and produce confidential reports to the Coroners and sometimes the Coroner Reports are educational in terms of learning how to avoid a repeat. RAA investigates/takes reports from the minor accidents, and we would gain a lot more safety knowledge if RAA upgraded their investigations.
