Jolly Green,
Bomb porn?
I did hear rumours when I was a very young recruit that the married men used to take home empty Bofors break up projectiles as a present for their next of kin. When I asked why they would want to do that I was told that if filled with warm water they made excellent hot water bottles! How naive I was aged 16!
Goodnight,
navyman.

In northern ireland the locals would pick up the rubber bullets and empty cases and sell them to a japanese company ! who would insert a battery and flog them back over here for 15 each or the telescopic variety was 17.50 i believe!
I always get a Buzz telling that story.

I reckon, if they dug around enough where the projectiles were found, they may just find some D cell batteries by coincidence.

Being english!
What is being English? It most probably means being part Viking (especially if your local town ends with the letters "BY"). It also means part Angel, Saxon, Norman, Roman, and the list could go on. Not to mention that the British Royal Family is German.
What is being Aussie? Being hand picked by Britians best judges and quality controled.
And the Kiwi's? Well just South Pacific Poms.
Cheers All:cheers:

Well said that man! We are all a bit of something, invaders most likely, but where do you draw the line? I think we should all go with where we were born, others will disagree
. To be honest though, who really cares. We are all the same. I only call myself English because it isn't typed on any forms anymore, and changing it makes it look messy, which is good :wink:. I am very sorry to say, and I appologise to anyone I offend (not intentional at all), but sometimes I feel that the old Great Britain has let us down by turning soft, and I doubt very much that we will regain strength. I feel let down
BOUGAINVILLE- Am I right in thinking you still require a criminal record to get into Aussie?
No two countries are more alike (Both part of the British Empire, indigenous black population with white settlers) and yet no two countries pretend to hate each other more! (We got better gun laws though!!)
As an aside there are two basic types of Kiwi's. JAFA's, and the rest of NZ. JAFA stands for "Just another ****** Aucklander. They believe Auckland is the only real part of NZ. In reality its the other way round, they rely on us to much.

The name Great Britain has nothing to do with the population or nation being 'great' or a hangover from the empire.
The name comes from the union of England (& Wales) and Scotland in 1707, thus a greater, or larger, Britannia.
Britannia was the Roman title for what is now England.

Hi Nick,
Yea mate, I think they have got it all mixed up and now if you have one they won't let you in. A bit late as the damage has already been done. Those British judges did an excellent job at quality control.
Never heard of JAFA's before. I'm from south of Blenheim and when I grew up it was "if you cut the Cook Strait Cable the North Island would float away"
Yes I agree, no two counties are more alike, though there is a subtle difference. The immigrant stock in both countries originated from quite different sections of British society. I always think of this as the main explanation for what differences we do have, mind you one also has to take into account environmental considerations.
Being a Kiwi myself I always jovially give it back to the Aussies when they try to take the piss out of me. Even though we have that friendly animosity when it comes to the crunch we are always there to help each other.
Well I had better end it on that note or I will have a lynching mob :viking
n my doorstep.
Cheers,:cheers:

PS. What area of NZ do you hang out in? I presume it's somewhere in the North Island but definately NOT Auckland.
