The Never Ending Story

He would do a quick reconnoitre, take a few shots of the lines with his Brownie, always managing to get those lifts which allowed him to land higher up. Turbo infiltrated the lines lower down and told the Khybers stories of a ghost ship from God piloted by a Debil Debil, and that helped to hold the lines down.

.... when they all fell into a boredom induced slumber and Turbo, ever the opportunist, went to visit their womenfolk.

and measured, before becoming a folk hero for centuries. It wasn't until Turbo was in Jerilderee one day looking for a hard to get Facel Lite MkII powered by a Bluehead that he stopped off at the Kelly Museum and read the Jerideree Letter,

 

He then realised the real truth of the Ned Kelly Legend, which little Jimmy Chalmers copied this week. Ned should have started with a Cat Farm, but history got in the way, and horses couldn't.........

 

True Story:

Turbo had been at the Brisbane Truck Show which started on a Thursday with serious Industry entrepreneurs coming through looking for deals on 600 trucks for their project and finishing  on a Saturday night where most of the action was keeping four year olds from falling out of Kenworth Cabs. About 9 pm on the Saturday night when Turbo's legs ached from days of standing on concrete, a man with a beard walked up, smartly dressed and introduced himself as Rob Kelly. Smartass as he was, Turbo couldn't stop himself  saying "Are you one of the NED Kellys?"

 

The man stepped back his eyes opened wide and he said "Yes", how did you know?"  

 

Turbo admitted to being a smartass and Rob said "did you know the story?" and spent the next hour explaining how at the seige of Glenrowan, they managed to get Ned away, and one of his brothers stepped into the armour and the rest is history. Ned rode up through NSW and finished up settling at Ipswich where he married and lived out his life and is buried in the Ipswich Cemetery, under a different name of course.    They finished their business pricing up a truck for the dealer and Rob went on his way.   

"Truck Shows" Turbo thought, and forgot about this unlikely story.

 

Some years later Turbo was reading the Saturday Newspaper, and there was the story; a team of investigators had traced Ned at various locations heading north and were researching the graves in the Ipswich cmetery.

And so Dear Readers. How can someone of Crappy's limited composition skills follow that. Crappy is overwhelmed.

 

Turdboy wins the NES story development skill quest and at the same time kills off the NES as Crappy feels inadequate and will now go back into his box, ...................... some say good.

 

Prior to his retirement Cappy can however attest that Rob's story is correct as Cappy's bushranger rello, Thunderbox, always reckoned that Ned made a cameo showing at the annual B&S Ball (Bushrangers and Sinners Ball) where he was inducted into the Bushranger's Hall of Fame.
