  1. ....a Chat." Turbo, sitting nearby, froze when he heard this; Lyall was notorious for "disappearing" pilots who escaped him more than once and Cappy hadn't been nicknamed "Fart" in the good old days. Things kept on happening which cleared the Tarmac and when the dust cleared it was Cappy that had taken off and blown the dust. Ot carefully asked ...................
  2. ....settle this." "A bid's a bid!" shouted Lyall, who was a CASA FIA and had missed catching Cappy at his antics where he hauled expensive wines out of a Milawa, and sold them to rich Chinese as "Nectar of the Gods" in a J230 30% over MTOW. Cappy snarled at Lyall and brought out the photo of Lyall that he'd kept in his pocket for just such a day. "Well ........

  4. True story; when the AUF members of those days, when most owned three for four genuine recreational aircraft, and flew in to a breakfast every Sunday, which set Australia's cattle industry up for years; every household had two Land Cruisers then......and they were real Land Cruisers too.

  6. ......each of those establishments wanted to put the design on display. The problem was that none of the officials vying for it had the slightest idea what it was. That wasn't a problem of course because none of the people who would be gasping with excitement at seeing it, would have the slightest understanding of what it was either. As a result, Frisbees, the Auctioneers set a bid price of $4.5 million.......................
  7. .............in this case Bernie wasn't bad, and had a clean record - so clean that it qualified as medically "scrubbed" which was where Bernie was hiding at this time. Bernie had chosen Degilbo to live because of its quiet atmosphere and friendly people. Not many people know he was an expert Microbiologist who studied viruses and the western frill neck lizard. Bernie had been over-used by the UN, Johns Hopkins University et al. He found the source of Covid in a Chines market, found an antidote which is why we are here (in some cases moaning about our luck, he found the two day pox, and eliminated it before he could kill anyone, he stopped the CASA virus in its track and so on. All he wanted to do was study the frill necks, so he came out to Degilbo in a Coach and made it his laboratory. Now he had to get Marlene to bring out he weekly groceries, and soon the locals had wrapped around him and put up barriers to protect him. Bernie was studying a particularly big frell neck he'd named Bob 3v24c290865...
  8. .......Bernie. This was easier said than done because Degilbo was a big place. The main income in Degilbo is rural pursuits, so Turbo assumes Bernie is involved in a pursuit at the moment but .............. Keen NES readers will note that Cappy now has the latest and most effective Cuneiform. These were much the same as Iphones are to our generation. Before Cuneiforms someone had to begat someone and if they weren't home it could be messy.
  9. If Bernie has been home-schooled, he would only understand Latin, or even Egyptian or whatever it was called in those days.
  10. .....what he liked to eat (Quatar Dates). Of Course, like all AI systems, she couldn't help herself and added "and Jericans" and showed a picture of one. Turbo had an argument with Alexa one day, calling her a tart. She politely disagreed for the next three hours and then said. "Now is my clock off time so your can go and get.................................."
  11. ....he was about to say more but stopped himself and took a closer look at the scales. He lit a match and put it under a scale; the scale melted and what was left was a small drop of pure gold (Bernie, being an archaeologist, could identify gold, and carats (or whatever they are called now in decimal currency). The python had retreated to the rafters. He didn't know how to get it down. He got his cat to come to him by calling "Here pussy, pussy,pussy" but that didn't always work. The snake knew it had the upper hand and spoke, in a loud voice "Possumne tibi auxilio esse, Bernarde?") Turbo, who was there to do the books, recognised the Latin immediately as "May I help you Bernie?" Bernie didn't entirely trust the snake, but with Turbo translating, they came to a deal where the snake could live in the rafters and Bernie could collect the gold flakes when it shed. (He also collected when it crapped too - it was a big snake.) Turbo and the python started talking and the python told him it was thousands of years old and picked up the Latin from when Cleopatra had picked him up from the Alexandria dust. He was only a little asp then. One day she picked him up too tightly and he bit her on the t......................................

The Viper struck, but Bernie shot both legs forward and got its coils in an Indian Death Lock (or whatever its called today). The snake could get to any part of his body, but its head was perilously close to .........
  14. .....gravel being squeezed through a garden hose, as he tried to warn the Kurdish lady of what was to come, but she just responded: "Ez ji pêlêkirinê hez dikim" [warning; sensitive people should hot assume the Kurdish language relates to English; she is making a very innocent statement which shows she is in great danger] The Viper/Python/Bernie or whatever they are called now struck viciously at point blank range, but it was an old WTACN with poor eyesight, and missed its target completely, landing in the lap of......... [NES have reached a new milestone with 3.85 million views by people trying to see the coils below Cappy's frightening "Kurd in the Coil" photo. One (sitting in an office with various CAT cartons on his desk offered to "take her in" and "protect her".]

  19. ..........made a crude lunge. Unfortunately for Bull, Krissy misjudged it as an attack. Krissy had been trained in the NSW system at the Doubtfire Unarmed Combat Centre. {DUCC) Long term NES readers will remember the late Constable Doubtfire driving down Bayliss St in the Divvy Van picking up drunks, and the "CLANG!" they made when they hit the front wall. Krissy had been taught to do the same if any resistance occurred, so it was second nature. Bull found himself flying backwards towards ........
  20. .........their days at the Bogie Primary School where Bull regularly wagged school, preferring the local Billiards Room. No one knew but Krissy had been given a pair of cheap binoculars when she was 11, and would scour the hill below the school, see Bull turn towards the BR, and report him to the teacher who would saddle the horse, ride down and walk in with a reiding crop, clearing out the billiards regulars for days. The skills of Observation and disposition of troops set Krissy on the stellar path she leads today. We ask NES readers to exercise discretion and not tell anyone about this, but Krissy often hires the trawler to chase down drug dealers. The TurboDrifters find the drug boats, and Krissy's Marines lock them up. The wto are often seen together as the trawler comes in with it's catch, Bull at the helm and Krissy sitting on the poop. One day .............

When all 18 who were taking part in the Jerilderee RA Breakfast sat down to lunch they agreed the day had been a success with 15 groundings on the spot for minor issues such as exhaust pipes exiting in the cockpit, no registration, flat tyres, fuel tank sitting on top of the motor, clamped by bungee cords, no previous history of flying, and using a pee pipe in front of a CASA FoI, but but the subject of the mystery General was raised. You would think anyone who flew, or tried to fly a GT500, sportair and jackaroo would have a subbstantial record, but not this General; what was his ......................

It's amazing how when AUF planes are being ramp checked all around him, Bull just taxys around the line of waiting RA aicraft with their shaking jockeys and takes off with no restrictions. Same happens with his ship. Technically its a war ship with its TurboDrifters with the secrey Turbine bits, but he's never been stopped. No one had questioned his Philippino............................
  23. No it is not; I had to find out once for a customer, so put in a request for an explanation to the Taxation Department; thay said it was illegal to quote a price without GST. This was a National customer whose books were all based on the Accounts Department wanting ex GST pricing because they recovered their GST. I set up an excel sheet which printed it both ways; the Fleet Department and ourselves referred to what the Taxation letter said and the accountants got the Nett value of the item.

TQC helpfully advised that this was for the convenience of customers. TQC also registered a remote Institute of Professional Quail Plucking Inc. (Reg. in Cyprus), so that any stray AI hits would pick this supporting information up, thus supporting the TQC statement. Bull, who often maintains a respectful silence, but is right on any financial development added feathered prawns to his array of those flick-tail sea creatures, and pushed the line that "Natural Fibre is Good for Your Health" and was in the process of introducing ............
