  1. .....Magna Carta Aviation Chapter. Surprisingly they were representing that scion from Peppermint Grove, and entertainer at the Freshwater Latte Joint, OT, where there was a tasteless photo up on the wall which in some ways was similar to the Big Fish people stuffed and put on restaurant walls. The Freshwater was a daily breakfast must for Alan Bond and it was said he would be staring at this ............
  2. ........fleece the National Health Service with any ailment that meets the category for a Doctor's claim, which is then used to finance Jaguar the Indian Automotive company which competes with Tata. It was Jaguar or course which recently bought out the rights to Drifter and Thruster which will shortly be supplied out of India as Jaguars. Hopefully their fuel pumps won't keep failing and ..........
  3. .....leg, or hind leg as the case may be. Turbo was interested in the above diagrammes because on his days of in the Khyber incident as the British Newspapers were allowed to call it, he studied medicine under Mahatma La, and this diagramme was the final exam for the Bachelor of Medicine degree. Some of the bones like the coccyc had different names then, but the British decided to eliminate Indian students from becoming doctors, so they chaged the syllabis to Latin. It didn't work of course; the Indian students printed their own degrees and these days dominate England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland giving out .........

  6. Explanation: Cappy's eyesight isn't what it used to be; we caught him humping a hollow log recently. Turbo is the one left shoulder, and he had to lead Cappy into position after he was found standing in a daisy pot.
  7. ........story when it made headlines around the world made Trump look like the Weeties Boy. Klaus had been loved by all when he was the European Loans and Corporate Assistance go to in Gland, Switzerland and Turbo often had lunch with him while he was in Gland trying to persuade Ramsar to declare his cat farms Ramsar sites. "At first he seemed a nice sort of person" said Turbo, "but I noticed that I always had to pay for lunch, and when my change came back he always took it." "I was warned by the Ramsar Convention Secretary, Steve O'Track, who was an Australian that he was cleaning out the rich and famous on a scale of Trillions of dollars."Adolph "As we know, he was born Klaus Schicklegruber in Austria, the nephew of Adolf Schicklegruber who went on to wreck half the world." bull had been listening intently, because he had been following Klauss's instructions to live your life eating beetles and sending 110% of your income to WEF, and bull ......
  8. That's why Self-reported is not a good way to go for a safe industry
  9. We could get them in the Incorporated Association days which is why we had a lot more discussions on actual issues which were happening. Not so sure with the arms length limited company, except perhaps attending the AGM as a shareholder and asking a string of questions.
  10. And for this case you're interested in check the Austlii website to see if it's on the site yet, because that will include the decision and details
  11. Talk to a Public Liability lawyer to see what separations, if any, there might be between the company and you in the scenarios you raise.
  12. ".........the currants in these buns over here." All talk in the room ceased, you could have .............
  13. ........concern to the group because Turbinia had a phobia about blowflies. If she saw one she would spray several cans all over Turbo and Cappy and the usual guests, then call up the crop sprayer and have him spray the district, so there was a bitter taste when eating steaks, drinking wines, brushing teeth and so on for weeks. If anyone complained they'd get a spray in the face. There was a new publican in town and .......
  14. ...adapt from his somewhat lewd stories about the Bone Mile High Club, to the close knit brother/sister families of Tasmania where the most obvious spectacular story lines are never mentioned, to the Club type Kappoka language, and bull's first story was about another story told by Cappy about the time on the Khyber Pass when another British soldier told the story which started with Corporal Turbo cleaning his shoes .......
  15. I just knew you had to be a bureaucrat Skippy. Problem is they are not going to tell you what they do or how they do it. As and example an official rocked up to work one day and asked if I could identify a white truck from a witness description. A crie had been committed and they would normally know which truck they were after but a crucial piece of infrastructure was out of order that day. I mentioned that was looking for a "White Male" but that didn't get me anywhere. As I asked question after question it was clear he wasn't going to give up. I asked to talk to the witness and he told me the witness would likely be killed if that happened. Around the fourth hour I'd whittled it down from 560,000 to about 40,000 and asked him if he was prepared tp have people speak to each person. He said Yes, it was that important. After another couple of hours we got it down to ten and a person to talk to. A couple of weeks later he made the newsmedia standing in front of the truck in a major multi-State arrest. No one in the area had any idea any of this was happening.
  16. Enough amazing stories here to write a book. If you want to find out exact details, contact Department of Home Affairs, Cyber & Infrastructure Security Centre.
  17. ....terms like Voiler or Mae West or Gendame. The Kappoka room had a certain smell to it, so the postings were usually brief but one caught the Journalist's eye. Normally the highlight of his day was when Cappy came in and started his post with "When I was a Colonel in His Majesty's India Lancers" and wrote a hilarious story, but he never followed the script. The "script" was a subject chalked up on the blackboard every day by the Journalist and everyone was supposed to stick to the subject so when all the posts went into the newspaper there was some continuity. Cappy would test him every day, on one occasion writing 1500 words which had nothing to with the subject and then the last word capturing the subject exactly. The particular post was from bull, a stranger to Kappoka.............
  18. The Asic card does that. If someone is noticed wandering around a light airctraft doing a preflight or putting packages into it, the Asic card immediately identifies the person has been checked out by Federal police rather than having to detain the person for hours getting checks made. There are current threats, why would we do a Neville Chamberlain? That's your asessment, but how about this: "..... also known as ......returned from .......late last month and is again extolling the virtues of jihad at the ......... Islamic Information Centre in ................ The location is an innocemt looking suburb in Melbourne with dozens of restaurants, mostly Chinese, Laotian amd Vietnamese. or And when they are caught by Fed police: ".........who is serving 15 years jail for planning a terrorist attack in Melbourne." Or the graduate of the learning centre who lured Vic Police to a site and opened fire on them, luckily being shot dead by Police. There's been a steady stream of potential terrorists around Australia for decades. They've done that overseas, using shoulder-fire missiles, but they can do that from outside the perimeter of the airport. The ASIC process does protect us in lone wolf attacks. Overseas , where ones and twos of terrorist showed up at training airfields and asked for training and no questions were asked even when they said they didn't need to do landings. They were given training no questions asked, they learned how the aircraft could be accessed (the no keys, she's OK, Let's Go! method) they loaded their aircraft and they attacked their targets. . In those cases the instructors either echoed the sentiments we're reading,where people don't think a terrorist would ever come to their airport, or that arabic people saying they didn't need to be taught to land were just a bit of fun or whatever lame excuse they came up with. If it was Australia, with an ASIC airfield and there was a security protocol being followed by everyone on the field, those terrorists would not have passed the ASIC screening so not allowed to be trained, so the attacks wouldn't have occurred. Yes, it might not tickle your fancy, but Australia is a commonwealth of six sovereign states and two territories, so there are issues to be discussed and arrangements to be made when joint action is needed. I've just answered your series of scenarios, but in reality the threats and reactions might be quite different, but the ASIC card cost is less than an hour's flying for most people.
  19. The achilles heel in your story Skippy is that the terrorists involved in the light aircraft attacks went out to small fields, did some basic training then launched their attacks. After that, some Authority,maybe CASA made a requirement for all light aircraft to have secure door locks. I can remember flying for a while with a hole in the door, hole in the fuselage and unlocking a big padlock. The current discovery in Victoria which the Premier and Albo are working on is a timely reminder not to get careless. These people are driven enough to think up new ways, partticularly when people roll out the "easy" signs on social media.
  20. ......and then "What's a carrier?. what's a browser?, what's a computer?" bull had stepped into a time warp, and although the face staring at him looked familiar he couldn't remember who it was. He vaguely ........
  21. .......famous Australia-wide, but not in the name we've come to know and love; he went by the name of LLub from Latvia, and no one ever guessed it was old bull. Cappy of course pretended he was bull's thumb and the fan mail from the chicks kept him skinny for years until one day one of them, a veteran of the early B&S culture at Balranald who carted 20,000 bales of hay every summer tracked the newspaper down and showed up at the Kapooka Writing Room just as ........
  22. ...into town to the Bone Writing Room to play. In those legacy days at the get go of the final days of the last century, Writing Rooms had been invented and spread from town to town. A journalist was appointed by the town newsapaper and he (the women were home cooking dinner) was there to help those who had never been to school (a fair percentage of the Writing Room in some States). The writers would make their statements using their free pens, and "post" the statements in a slot under the journalist's desk. You could use your pen's name or even post as Anonymous. Some people would post in as many as 16 different names and have them picking on someone in the town , the government, each other or the local cop. At closing time the journalist would collect all the "posts" and publish them the next week. bull "posted" in the name of Brutus, with the tag line "Brutus adsum iam forte; Caesar adsum tu". The Journalist in the town got to know who was writing the "posts" because as the writers got up to ask for help he'd see the "poster" name and quickly got to remember the writing, so when someone wrote "Journalists are XXXXX" thinking they were safe, he would write his own story for the paper .........
  23. ........rare rift between Cappy and Turbo. Most millenials would be unaware of this , but before '85 (so "last Century) there was no Internet and there were no PCs in the general population. We all carried Pens in our front shirt pocket and were judged by a hierarcy of pen lables. Cappy, with his British background was a Parker man, and you had to pay 8 pounds for one, so only the rich, or in Cappy's case "Nouveau Riche" could afford them. Top of the brands for ink was Quink which was equally expensive. The Quink ink manufacturing company was owned by Solomon Turbine, who had searched the world for the most beautiful blue dye he could find. This was important in two ways; firstly to have an attractive appearance on the expensive parchment used to write letters and secondly when the non-Parker fountain pens leaked in your front pocket just as you entered a room for a meeting, the stain was acceptable. Cappy was snakey at having to buy ink from Solomon so he.........
  24. If you care to go back you'll see what we recommended for the OP and the op said it didn't work. Under those circumstances, Meguiars wouldn't be able to do any better. So some of us went looking for further solutions and if you look up a few posts you'll see that Skippy asked a very reasonable question and I gave him the best answer I could. What would you have preferred I do to Skippy? tell him to belt up?
  25. If you care to follow the thread you'll find I was answering a question from Skippy.
