:yes: Don't worry Norm, I'm just waiting for 'lenburp' to claim that someone has :type: hijacked his computer again...! :hiding:

please don't apologise. I only come here when I'm bored and lost. last time I mentioned how it's great to illicit a response and in the real world I can get locked up for doing same I had pengally say" oh really, no kidding"


...And last time you got busted for posting drivel, you claimed someone else had posted on your PC when you were out of the room...

Did you invite 'him' back again today, Len, or is the preceeding gibberish and bullshit all your own work this time..? :dontknow:

BTW, :stupid: it's Rick to my friends, Rick Pengilly to those who don't know me, but NEVER 'pengally'... :faaaarrk: :idjit:

Thank God for that, every time he starts posting comments, I shudder.

He is a serial pest, and over the years I've hand multiple e-mails and some times even phone calls from him at odd hours. All because I served a few months with him on Stalwart, never knew him at Nirimba as he was a few terms behind me. :stupid:

Len you are not a friend of mine and never have been, nor have I done anything that you claimed I have done, its all in you mind. :tool: :idiot: :idjit:

Len if you happen to read this, and try to contact me again I will take out a restraining order against you, no matter which state you are in.

Rick, for the sake of everyone please never allow him back on the forum even as a guest, Can your IT guys block all access, Please

Thanks for the info Bruce, we'll keep that in mind. We try to give everyone a fair go on here, but some insist on 'biting the hand' as it were, and losing sight of the fact that it is a privately-owned site. I also feel that Mr. Burp has done his dash........ :pirate:

I was home (safely) from Vietnam 3 years before Mr De Witte would have drafted into Nirimba. I must admit to having mixed emotions about his posts and his attitude - however he developed it - but honestly do not feel any rancour towards him or those of his ilk. I am just so glad, so happy, that my time in the defence of Australia didn't leave me screwed up like ......... .so many I see.

(My saviour couldn't have been the drugs, it was more likely the tax-free whisky, gin, vodka, rum et al)

Hi All,

"Entertaining Vietnam". a documentary about performers who entertained
during the war, can still be viewed for free at an online film festival.

Please pass it on to anyone who may be interested.

Thank you,

Hi Phred, a very sad day indeed!

I was serving on HMAS Ibis when we left the Thai Navy Base Sattahip when we sailed very early in the morning to take part in the exercise. About two hours heading to the area our Skipper informed us a mishap had occurred and the exercise had been cancelled and we were returning to Sattahip.

It wasn't till later that afternoon when we heard of the severity of the incident that it hit home about the loss of all those men.

May they all Rest in Peace.
