  1. Mayday, life was at risk.
  2. ..........but Grot wasn't frightened; he always carried a stick under his sabre-tooth bear skin to jam the crocodilian's mouth open - then what could it do. Eventually one day as he ran round a corner, there was a crocodilian smiling at him ........
  3. Grot would run like a Pterodactyl drinking. If Throg's mum had been born a few million years later, she could have been an Olympic runner. Grot never learned his lesson, so she caught him again and again, and pretended to feed him to the .........................
  4. ......one day ergot bull had a piece of bison jammed between hid teeth, shaved the end of a "Red Head match" and the product shot to success as the first tooth cleaner. A few hundred years later Grot was cleaning his teeth and a thought came to him; he flicked his fingers in delight, and heard a ffffssssstttt", and yelled in pain "Og Scrit"! Seeing the flame, it dawned on him.............
  5. .......Great Circle. Of course, since the wheel hadn't been invented yet, none of them were circular like a Thrusters wheels, so the word "circle" was just a name he'd dreamed up. Cook had tried every material. He'd tried cutting off branches off trees, and when his cooking platform was standing on all four logs and he pushed it forward it worked until the logs hit the ground. One day he thought, "I wonder what would happen if I laid them down sideways, and the wheel was born. Cook.........
  6. The Nepalese are very thoughtful people. To qualify for the Army they must be able to take the head off a bull with one hand in one slash. They only use the little ones on children but they can get two at a time, so it's all over quick.

  11. ....started cutting down the trees. Cockies have a hatred of trees; "Each one in a paddock costs us eight bags of grain!" old Harold Shepherd used to say, and Ted wasn't smart enough to realise you couldn't sow wheat in Bayliss St. A few years ago Ted bought a chainsaw from Wagga Wagga Stihl. He brought it back a couple couple of months later and told the Service guys it wasn't cutting well. When he came back three days later the Service Manager said they hadn't found any faults, started it up and put it through a test redgum branch. "What's that noise? asked Ted. Big as the trees were, Ted was felling them with the Leatherman, so
  12. ....how he might explain it at the next meeting of his Commanchero Chapter. By this time Ted had walked out in the street, saw a couple of Harleys too close to his ute and flicked them over his shoulder. This...... Turbo notes the ever so slight misunderstanding, by Cappy and OT, of who is a cocky. This species of farmer is the wheat grower who typically carries a handful of wheat, oats' or barley in a pocket of his suit and can been seen at the pub chewing a grain of wheat (like a cockatoo) to judge this season's harvest. Often in the pubs four of five cockies will wipe the beer off the table and put their grains on it to judge the harvest. The poorest grain might represent a $2.1 million dollar harvest and the best a $3.2 million harvest.....and they keep every dollar. They used to throw full wheat bags at each other but these days they just drive big 4WD tractors, or more correctly the only thing they operate is the Microwave oven because the tractor has gunbarrel straight Autosteer etc. The autodrive headers see low areas of crop ahead and automatically lower the comb to gently cut the heads off, shake them and allow the grains to land gently into the bin, where other grain-friendly equipment gently moves them to lightly land in a B Double driving beside the truck with the driver asleep in his bunk thanks to Wireless.
  13. get too carried away" an innocent and friendly enough suggestion in a wheat town. Looking at the innocent childish face, Ted decided to do the usual SaA thing and pushed Ted in the chest with the words, "Well get..." when wshtttttttt" he was flying backwards through the air at an upward trajectory. Any cockie knows that when you're around 80 kg wheat backs the only way you'r not going to be crippled by nightfall after shifting a few thousand was to use one hand and keep them moving, and the SaA just happend to be a little weedy and 80 kg. Ted went back to his beer and the SaA had flown out and was lying up on top of a caravan, pretty much the same as a wheat bag on a semi trailer. You would think even a patched SaA would know that someone with biceps the sizwe of the fat lady's thighs woulkd have some bite, but no, he rushed straight back in and ............

  18. ......pretend, as he desperately tried to think of someone. It wasn't just that; He'd first been hired by a well known Senator to provide statistics and "on the ground" research on the WA mining industry. The Senator didn't realise he never went further than the pubs, but everyone in WA talked and his "Minute" was said to be one of the best, allowing The Senate Committee to curtail new rail lines anywhere OneTrack had interests and build shopping centres and pubs near his claims. He came to the attention of Albo, and was invited to dinner,and afterwards drinks.

  22. I can remember Bex - r- better saying much the same thing in his frustration with us, and it’s interesting that two giant Chinese retailers already have warehouses and retail outlets in most States of Australia, delivering our internet orders sometimes same day. I have two memories of their abilities. In one case a former boss of mine went to China and set up a plant to make panels which resulted in a very successful business. A Chinese official came to his factory a couple of years later and said “We’re building a free way through here, we’re going to move you there (about 20 km away), what design do you want for your new factory. In Australia this would lead to a digging in 5-year process, trifling compensation etc. They said they were paying for the new factory and all transfer costs, so he accepted the deal, got a newer, bigger, more productive factory and today is worth upwards of $20 million. The other case was when the South Korean cars started chewing into General Motors’ Holden sales in Australia. The Button plan ensured that local manufacturing couldn’t compete, so around 2004 the Director of Finance at Holden was sent to China to set up and build a Carline for Holdens to beat the South Koreans. By the time he had it part built, GM realised the new middle classes of Chinese business owners had started building McMansions to live in and China had become a Car country as against people in blue overalls and riding bikes, and took over the line to build Cadillacs in much bigger volumes than Australia could sell Holdens. This is one of the early promotional activities in Shanghai in 2011 Cadillac Stunt Drivers Shanghai - link GM went into a joint venture with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) They build a factory with 160,000 capacity per year. Cost was $122 billion. It’s the only plant in China to achieve 100% automated welding. It has one line for steel bodies and another line for all-aluminium bodies (with laser brazing). SAIC – GM produced 673,007 Chevrolet/Buick/Cadillac in China in 2024. Since 2017 China has been Cadillac’s biggest market
  23. ......spending a happy happy hour with various Mongol chicks who slavishly follow the hairstyles and dress codes of Melbourne in the sixties. Not many people know that Harry was sent by the Australian government to Mongolia to stop the Domino effect which would have seen Australia a communist country; it was that important. Of course it also stopped the trouble-making, sniping and chick marauding in Canberra too. When the sub landed at Khalkhin the Dominos had reached the town and were being fought off by descendants of Ghenghis Khan and two CIA operratives, Cappy and Turbo, the two leaders shown in the background of the photo. The Dominoes were just about to break through when................
