the only other men ever to get two were medics . Book about him ,"Mark of the Lion " is a good read . A constant thread that runs through it that he thinks he was not brave . He claims that he did things after seeing that the risks were low . Others didn't see it that way including his boss who kept him out of a battle because he thought Upham had what we now know as a death wish .
nah died in '82 , he would have never seen it as brave , they had no choice .Thousands had the same experience . I was lucky to have lived and worked with men just like my Father , I had any number of teachers that had severed as well . All gone now . NZ is much the less for it .
Errrr pull up a bit . A little feeling a deja vu , I would liked to have done a bit of what my brother and my father have done . But more so would liked both to have done or been able to have done what I have . For my brother to have raised a family (he's called dry balls around here)and for my father I wish he had never had to spend time in the POW camps in Europe and the crap that went on in the last months of the war . Other wise shove me screaming into Hugh Hefner's bath robe YES YES YES
I leave for 20 minutes to light the fire and u guys start talking about us . That was a nice thing to say Leanne . I have tried to get other NZ's to take part , gave up in the finish some while back .
real kiwis have along beak , know for putting it in possum traps and needing to reborn . They have a habit of putting their beak where they shouldn't , just like some people .
the one's that have not put their beak in a possum trap have a real sticky beak . So I am told , I have never seen a real one yet but have heard them calling in the bush at night .
jezzzzzzzzz it never stops amazing me how close our countries aren't . I had a contracter this morning here for the next round of possum control .Costs us big money each year . If Aus ever gets low on them you guys can have all yours back .
I never saw the pics of that house but the local QE11 rep and a guy from the regional council sure did ,as we were stomping through my scrub they were talking about it and what could be done . Upshot was replace the trees with less volatile ones . All legal sort off if done slowly . Tree they said would work , Karaka tree . Very fitting name ,however they don't burn .
This has to stop , having people chased out of their houses to watch them burn . If it is legal to build in these areas it must be made legal to clear vegetation with a margin wide enough to protect the housing .Its all very well to have a house in it's own little forest . I enjoy just that . I feel for these people losing their homes but I could kick them for not getting together to make their places safe . It would not be easy , but having said that nothing important ever is .
That's good , I think they might need some new threads on the inters as the last one is from 2009 , hope all the earlier posters are not in retirement homes
boo ya self , happy birthday , could have sworn you had one the other day . Feeling cleaver at the moment , hope you guys play nice tonight as a thread went awol after I hit the sack other night .If Aussie is not under water it's in flames . Never been any different since I was a kid .
what this is a dating site , who said . I had a profile on one and under hobbies I wrote "baiting trolls on connecting singles " not the bird puller I thought it might be , ah well onwards and upwards p.s. I did get asked what baiting trolls on connecting singles meant .
Re: The nation of China have already purchased part or all of the United States with the agreement of the US government. With FEMA Region 3 already being put into play and America's unsolvable debt crisis, this is facts beyond all doubts. Americans should remember that China owns most of America’s debt. Will China step in and ‘save’ Americans from massive massacres? Is this why Chinese troops have been seen in America recently?
Go the wolverines , are you to be on the repoed bit , please move there if you are not . Hope the Chinese don't take your key pad away , might cause a lower level of insanity to reign on this site .
Did you miss the rebuilding bit Ray as our trade routes to the US all went through Afghanistan we needed to have an army team up there building schools , bridges and the like so the nutters have something fresh to blow up when all the western countries pull out . Sometimes the nutters don't even wait .
RE: I have fear
these are the fellas left standing when punk went mainstream who were good . As for all the others , shove em
