Good news story for our National Museum which continues to
kick goals.
The Cruise ship Golden Princess will visit Phillip Island in February
and November this year. The cruise tour operator has included
the NVVM on the shore tour program and has offered the cruise
ship 4 tours of up to maximum 45 passengers for both months.
This is a significant break-through for the museum in terms of
attracting tourism. Positive ratings of the museum visit by the
passengers will go a long way to ensuring future visits are
included in the future.

Hello Ray,
I wish to advise that Sapper Peter
James FABIAN (Service No. 3792543)
who served with 17 Const Sqn from
21/5/1968 to 14/5/1969 passed away
suddenly on Saturday 16/1/2016.
Peter’s funeral arrangements are still
being determined.

LEST WE FORGET….
I am hoping that you may be able to point me towards someone who can put me in touch with a retired WO2 from the Australian
Intelligence Corps.
His surname is Nowicki and he served initially in the Parachute Regiment in the early 1970s and then, after about six years in the British
Army, he moved to Australia and joined the Australian Army. I have no idea what his first name is.
I worked with him in East Berlin in 1974, when he was remarkable because he was a multilingual Private soldier. I next saw him in the
waiting area of the British High Commission in Canberra at the end of 1999. Anne and I were there to say farewell to the DA. As we waited,
WO2 Nowicki also entered the waiting area and within a couple of sentences, I realised that he was the PARA Private with whom I had
worked 25 years earlier in Berlin. I think that he was there as part of his retirement process; he was leaving the Australian Intelligence Corps
after a full career. I imagine that he will have stayed on in Australia.
I would be delighted if my contact details could be passed on to Mr Nowicki and if he could be invited to e-mail me, if he'd liked to do so.
If you can give me a leg up on this search, I'd be very grateful
With all best wishes,
Peter

Hello Everyone
It is with great sadness I advise that John
Barker passed away peacefully last night.
As previously advised he was recently
(November 2015) diagnosed with the asbestos
cancer Mesothelioma.
Funeral details are likely to be in the
Melbourne Herald Sun on Saturday. It is
unlikely to be before Friday next week!
We will be away from tomorrow until next
Wednesday Morning. As soon as we return I
will put out a further email with funeral details
as well.
Our thoughts & love is with Nola, Matthew &
his partner Emma.
Unfortunately Nola badly broke her ankle
about two weeks ago and is in Cabrini Hospital
Brighton. At one stage she was in Cabrini
Malvern at the same time as John but on a
different floor. We were able to visit both at the
one time. Nola could be in hospital for another
month. However she will be able to attend
John’s funeral. Nola, Matthew & Emma were
able to spend 4 hours with John yesterday.
Have attached some photos old & new.

There I was is sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large,
trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it
down in one swig.
"Well, whatcha gonna do about it?" he says, menacingly, as I burst into
tears.
"Come on, man," the biker says, "I didn't think you'd CRY. I can`t stand
to see a grown man crying."
"This is the worst day of my life," I say. "I'm a complete failure. I was
late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking
lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don't have any insurance. I
left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my old lady in bed with
the gardener, and then my dog bit me."
"So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all, I
buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit here watching the arsenic
dissolve. Then some jack-ass shows up and drinks the whole thing! But
enough about me, how's your day going?"

Hi Ray,
Some time ago we spoke about using your
vast network to locate a school mate of
mine and I would be grateful if you could
help.
His name is Richard (dick) Tippet, he
attended Lillydale High School in Victoria,
I think he left in 1963, Attended OCS in
1965 or 66 then to Point Cook, for Pilot
training then to Oakey for Chopper
training. He did one tour of Vietnam with
161 Indep Recce Flt in 1968. I think he
served about 15 yrs in the Army retiring
as a Major. I also think he went to
Antarctica as a pilot a couple of times, then
to England to fly Harriers as a test pilot. I
think he is residing in WA, I tried to find
him when I was over there last year, a few
people I spoke to did know of him but
could not locate. my details are:
Brian Melbourne, ex 1RAR 1st tour.

Someone asked the other day, 'What was your favourite 'fast food' when you were
growing up?'
'We didn't have fast food when I was growing up,' I informed him.
'All the food was slow.'
'C'mon, seriously.. Where did you eat?'
'It was a place called 'home,'' I explained. !
'Mum cooked every day and when Dad got home from work, we sat down together at
the dining room table, and if I didn't like what she put on my plate, I
was allowed to sit there until I did like it.
By this time, the lad was laughing so hard I was afraid he was going to suffer serious
internal damage, so I didn't tell him the part about how I had to have permission to
leave the table.
But here are some other things I would have told him about my childhood if I'd
figured his system could have handled it:
Some parents NEVER owned their own house, wore jeans, set foot on a golf course,
travelled out of the country or had a credit card.
My parents never drove me to school... I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50
pounds, and only had one speed (slow).
We didn't have a television in our house until I was 10.
It was, of course, black and white, and the station went off the air at 10 PM, after
playing the national anthem and epilogue; it came back on the air at about 6 am. And
there was usually a locally produced news and farm show on, featuring local people...
Pizzas were not delivered to our home... But milk was.
All newspapers were delivered by boys and all boys delivered newspapers --My
brother delivered a newspaper, seven days a week. He had to get up at 6 every
morning.
Film stars kissed with their mouths shut. At least, they did in the films. There were no
movie ratings because all movies were responsibly produced for everyone to enjoy
viewing, without profanity or violence or almost anything offensive.
If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some
of these memories with your children or grandchildren. Just don't blame me if they bust
a gut laughing.
Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it?

MEMORIES from a friend:
My Dad is cleaning out my grandmother's house (she died recently) and he brought
me an old lemonade bottle.
In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it. I knew immediately what
it was, but my daughter had no idea.
She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something. I knew it as the
bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to 'sprinkle' clothes with because we
didn't have steam irons. Man, I am old.
How many do you remember?
Headlight dip-switches on the floor of the car.
Ignition switches on the dashboard.
Trouser leg clips for bicycles without chain guards.
Soldering irons you heated on a gas burner.
Using hand signals for cars without turn indicators.
Older Than Dirt Quiz:
Count all the ones that you remember, not the ones you were told about. Ratings at
the bottom.
1. Sweet cigarettes
2. Coffee shops with juke boxes
3. Home milk delivery in glass bottles
4. Party lines on the telephone
5. Newsreels before the movie
6. TV test patterns that came on at night after the last show and were there until TV
shows started again in the morning.
(There were only 2 channels [if you were fortunate])
7. Peashooters
8. 33 rpm records
9. 45 RPM records
10. Hi-fi's
11. Metal ice trays with levers
12. Blue flashbulb
13. Cork popguns
14. Wash tub wringers
If you remembered 0-3 = You're still young
If you remembered 3-6 = You are getting older
If you remembered 7-10 = Don't tell your age
If you remembered 11-14 = You're positively ancient!
I must be 'positively ancient' but those memories are some of the best parts of my
life.

All,
Please see attached flyer for a Battle of Long Tan 50th
Anniversary Commemorative Port.
One of our members has asked that I disseminate this to our
Assoc members as it will assist a charity that he helps and
works with.
The cost of the port varies dependant upon the qty ordered
($30 for one bottle to $20 for 12 bottles). Port is from
Horndale Winery in Happy Valley.
In order to keep costs down to our members if anyone is
interested in purchasing bottles I am happy to consolidate
orders in an effort to only order multiples of 12 bottles.
So pls email me your requirements and I will then advise
you of the cost when I order it.
You can view details of the port at www.savcg.org.au which
will also give you info on the charity South Australian Viet
Nam Charity Group Inc (SAVCG).
If I have enough interest I will look at ordering some before
Xmas and then more orders next year.

My wife has these days when she
wants "us to talk about things".
We were discussing aspects of our
future so when it was my turn
I asked her
"What will you do if I die before
you do?"
After some thought, she said that
she'd probably look for a
house-sharing situation with three
other single or widowed women
who might be a little younger than
herself, since she is so
active for her age.
Then she asked me,
"What will you do if I die first?"
I replied, "Probably the same
thing."

OK Go are a pop band originally from Chicago.
They are renowned for having very innovative
videos with their songs. In this one they make use
of what the Americans would call a Rube Goldberg
machine and what we and the British would call a
Heath Robinson machine. If you are familiar with
the work of Australian cartoonist Bruce Petty, he
used to portray the workings of the world’s
economy as this kind of wacky and diabolical
machine.
You may want to watch this more than once; there is simply
way too much activity happening to absorb it all in one
viewing.
Also, you can click on behind the scenes videos to see how it
was done.
JUST IMAGINE WHAT IT TOOK TO SET THIS UP!

We had just arrived in downtown
Saigon and it was absolutely amazing to experience
another culture.
We went to a host of tourist sites and even took in a festival.
Later that afternoon we had walked to a nearby restaurant and saw a
soldier around my age (18-19) lying on the ground with staff from the
restaurant surrounding him.
The soldier was American and was bleeding from the chest. I'm not sure if
he had been shot in the heart but it must have been close because blood
started to flow from his nose.
I had kneeled down to see if I could help when he grabbed my hand and
pulled me towards his head.. everyone kept telling him not to talk as his
face had become very pale.
In a low soft voice he whispered to me.. “tell my Mom that I want her to
know how much I love her and thank her for everything and raising me.
Blood began to come out of his mouth as he talked.
His hand fell to the floor and he died. A staff member placed a shirt over
his face.
That night we heard the news and found out the soldier was 19, had just
been posted here from Texas,USA to serve abroad only to be shot and
robbed.
The thief got away with seven dollars, a watch worth about ten dollars , a
bracelet and ring worth about eight dollars all together. He killed a poor
young soldier for a meer $25.00
He was caught by police whilst we were still in the restaurant and instead of
taking him to jail they shot him in the head and killed him in the street:-
‘people told us they do things differently than in other countries. If you
take a life, especially a young life, you die right then and there. You don't
waste the governments money by sitting in prison. A life for a life.’
Goes without saying.. We didn’t hang around and grabbed the closest
lambretta for the ride back to base…

Upgrade Your Brain: How to Spot a Common Mental Error That Leads to
Misguided Thinking
by James Clear
Human beings have been blaming strange
behavior on the full moon for centuries. In
the Middle Ages, for example, people
claimed that a full moon could turn humans
into werewolves. In the 1700s, it was
common to believe that a full moon could
cause epilepsy or feverish temperatures. We
even changed our language to match our
beliefs. The word lunatic comes from the
Latin root luna, which means moon. [1]
Today, we have (mostly) come to our senses.
While we no longer blame sickness and
disease on the phases of the moon, you will
hear people use it as a casual explanation for
crazy behavior. For example, a common
story in medical circles is that during a
chaotic evening at the hospital one of the
nurses will often say, “Must be a full moon
tonight.”
There is little evidence that a full moon
actually impacts our behaviors. A complete
analysis of more than 30 peer-reviewed
studies found no correlation between a full
moon and hospital admissions, casino
payouts, suicides, traffic accidents, crime
rates, and many other common events. [2]
But here’s the interesting thing: Even
though the research says otherwise, a 2005
study revealed that 7 out of 10 nurses still
believed that “a full moon led to more chaos
and patients that night.” [3]
What’s going on here?
The nurses who swear that a full moon
causes strange behavior aren’t stupid. They
are simply falling victim to a common
mental error that plagues all of us.
Psychologists refer to this little brain
mistake as an “illusory correlation.”
Here’s how it works…
How We Fool Ourselves Without
Realizing It
An illusory correlation happens when
we mistakenly over-emphasize one
outcome and ignore the others. For
example, let’s say you visit New York
City and someone cuts you off as you’re
boarding the subway train. Then, you go
to a restaurant and the waiter is rude to
you. Finally, you ask someone on the
street for directions and they blow you
off.
When you think back on your trip to
New York it is easy to remember these
experiences and conclude that “people
from New York are rude” or “people in
big cities are rude.”
However, you are forgetting about all of
the meals you ate when the waiter acted
perfectly normal or the hundreds of
people you passed on the Subway
platform who didn’t cut you off. These
were literally non-events because
nothing notable happened. As a result,
it is easier to remember the times
someone acted rudely toward you than
the times when you dined happily or
took the subway in peace.
Here’s where the brain science comes
into play:
Hundreds of psychology studies have
proven that we tend to overestimate the
importance of events we can easily
recall and underestimate the
importance of events we have trouble
recalling. The easier it is to remember,
the more likely we are to create a strong
relationship between two things that are
weakly related or not related at all.

How to Spot an Illusory Correlation
There is a simple strategy you can use to
spot your hidden assumptions and prevent
yourself from making an illusory
correlation. It’s called a contingency table
and it forces you to recognize the non-events
that are easy to ignore in daily life.
Let’s break down the possibilities for having
a full moon and a crazy night of hospital
admissions.
How to Fix Your Misguided
Thinking
We make illusory correlations in many
areas of life:
•You hear about Bill Gates or Mark
Zuckerberg dropping out of college to
start a billion-dollar business and you
over-value that story in your head.
Meanwhile, you never hear about all of
the college dropouts that fail to start a
successful company. You only hear
about the hits and never hear about
the misses even though the misses far
outnumber the hits.
•You see someone of a particular
ethnic or racial background getting
arrested and so you assume all people
with that background are more likely
to be involved in crime. You never hear
about the 99 percent of people who
don’t get arrested because it is a non-
event.
•You hear about a shark attack on the
news and refuse to go into the ocean
during your next beach vacation. The
odds of a shark attack have not
increased since you went in the ocean
last time, but you never hear about the
millions of people swimmingly safely
each day. The news is never going to
run a story titled, “Millions of Tourists
Float in the Ocean Each Day.” You
over-emphasize the story you hear on
the news and make an illusory
correlation.
Most of us are unaware of how our
selective memory of events influences
the beliefs we carry around with us on
a daily basis. We are incredibly poor at
remembering things that do not
happen. If we don’t see it, we assume it
has no impact or rarely happens.
If you understand how these errors in
thinking occur and use strategies like
the Contingency Table Test mentioned
above, you can reveal the hidden
assumptions you didn’t even know you
had and correct the misguided
thinking that plagues our everyday
lives.
•Cell A: Full moon and a busy night. This is a very
memorable combination and is over-emphasized in
our memory because it is easy to recall.
•Cell B: Full moon, but nothing happens. This is a
non-event and is under-emphasized in our memory
because nothing really happened. It is hard to
remember something not happening and we tend to
ignore this cell.
•Cell C: No full moon, but it is a busy night. This is
easy to dismiss as a “crazy day at work.”
•Cell D: No full moon and a normal night. Nothing
memorable happens on either end, so these events
are easy to ignore as well.
This contingency table helps reveal what is
happening inside the minds of nurses during a full
moon. The nurses quickly remember the one time
when there was a full moon and the hospital was
overflowing, but simply forget the many times there
was a full moon and the patient load was normal.
Because they can easily retrieve a memory about a
full moon and a crazy night and so they incorrectly
assume that the two events are related.
I first learned about this contingency table strategy
while reading 50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology
and I find that this simple table can be adapted to
many different situations. Ideally, you would plug in
a number into each cell so that you can compare the
actually frequency of each event, which will often be
much different than the frequency you easily
remember for each event.

Will more SEX Keep you
younger…..
Skip the lotions & potions and jump directly into bed: The secret fountain of youth may
be lying between your sheets.
In a 10-year study on 3500 people by the Royal Edinburgh Hospital in Scotland showed
that those who have sex four times a week look approximately 10 years younger.
The horizontal mambo may lead to significant reductions in stress, greater contentment
and better sleep. Sex also increases production of various hormones, such as growth
hormone which is known to improve muscle tone.
Moreover, sex is thought to bring about hormone release which help ease your body’s
aches and pains, it boosts your immune system, and, depending how you do it, it can
burn anywhere from 150 to 300 calories.
However, casual sex with different partners or cheating did not slow down the aging
process, the researchers say. In fact, casual sex with multiple partners may be stressful
and lead to premature aging!

This is to inform you that as of …………………………. 196 , a certain mudhound water-soaked and slightly crazy individual known as …………….. is leaving our little
City of ………………… securely nestled among the jungles and rice paddies, located in the Southern part of a semi-tropic country in the Far East known as The
Republic of Vietnam.
Therefore your attention is drawn to the following advice, of which you should take careful note and observe that he is no longer the sweet, unspoilt boy who
left Australia fired with the patriotic fervour and Zest for adventure. He is now older, probably leaner, wiser in the ways of the world, and possibly short
tempered, so get the women off the streets, hide all the beer and grog, put a chain around the fridge, lock the cow in the barn, and note the Following:-
•This man has survived the worst the Far East can offer: - Mud, rain, heat, dust, sand, mosquitoes, loneliness, monsoons, not to mention a liberal sprinkling of
Typhoons, and a couple of Coupes-de-etat.
•
Be he husband, sweetheart, friend, son or brother to you he is still yours.
•
He may look a little strange and act a little peculiar, but this is to be expected, after …. Months in VIETNAM. He will gaze in awe and fascination at blonde hair,
trams, blue eyes, clean sheets, hotels, and tight sweaters. Remember, that his only contact with white women has been via the centre pages of Playboy
magazines, and he will probably think that all girls have staple marks on their stomachs. If you wish to disillusion him, do so gently.
•
Pay no attention when he smears 'soy sauce' on his potatoes; or mixes raw snails with his rice, in the hope of making them taste better.
•
Neglect to say anything about etherised eggs, 'C' rations, spare ribs, dehydrated potatoes, weenies, fried rice, fresh milk and ice cream, and above all do not
mention or even hint at the subject of fresh bread or Aussie tea.
•
If your family is fond of ham and lima beans, corn beef, sweet corn, or Vienna Sausages - serve them when he is not around.
•
If he walks across the garden and climbs through the window, humor him, he doesn't trust the path - it may be mined.
•
Flushing toilets will be a source of constant wonder to him; after he overcomes the initial fear of them. If he grabs a shovel and heads for the back garden
merely direct him to the nearest correct room and gently take the shovel from him. Act as if nothing happened if he, "Pees" in the gutter, as it is common
practice among the native people of VIETNAM.
•
If he prefers to sit squat-legged on the floor and insists on everybody joining him, in eating squid soup with chopsticks, pay no heed, (humour him).
•
ABOVE ALL - do not ask him, "How was the mail over there?,' as he is liable to get violent and go into convulsions.
•
If he offers you "Hai Muoi Dong' to go Chop-chop, humour him, and go, but do not ask him any questions, such as, "You buy me one Saigon Tea?"
•
If he mumbles in his sleep such things as, "Black Market", "Tea Sippers" or other odd things and sayings, just ignore him.
•
ENCOURAGE him to drink out of a glass. If you give him a CAN he will drink it certainly, but he may then fling it over his shoulder with a roar of "UP THE OLD
RED ROOSTER" and the furniture will suffer.
•
FORCE of habit may cause him to do some apparently odd things - sleep with his boots on - shower in public - swear fondly at his closest friends - grind his
cigarette into the carpet. He will constantly look at trees, not for their beauty but because he suspects a sniper. He will distrust bus stops because they have an
unpleasant association with grenades, and if a litter bug throws something from a passing car - he will scream loudly and dive for the gutter. This can be
amusing and endear him to passersby.
•
Unless you want to risk life and limb, do not ask him, "Does it ever rain in VIETNAM" or "Are the women really flat chested?"
•
If he happens to be driving as a postman blows his whistle, hang on, for you can expect a very sudden stop; in Vietnam the second blast of the whistle is
followed by bullets.
•
You may have to make allowances or explain to visitors if he wanders about the house wearing only a towel or just in his under pants. Tell him that people in
Australia normally wear clothes.
•
When crossing the street take care of him as he has become impartial, indifferent, and completely oblivious to car horns, cycles, pedi-cabs, bicycles, water
buffaloes, horse and carts, bullock drawn wagons and other such things that are found on the streets of BIEN HOA, BARIA, SAIGON and VUNG TAU.
•
When he wants a taxi, be kind and get one for him. He may stand on the edge of the road, waving, as you would indicate goodbye, and may get abusive when
they wave back at him. After getting him a cab explain that the driver is not a cheat, or DINKY DOW or even NUMBER TWELVE and that he has to pay the price
that is showing on the meter when the journey is completed. Above all else never - never - let him get into a blue and yellow taxi, under any circumstances.
•
If he complains of being thirsty and is looking for a five-gallon plastic jerrycan, explain to him that the water in the tap is potable (drinkable).
•
Remember that beneath that rough, water soaked, weather beaten and dishevelled exterior, beats a heart of gold, sweet, pure, though a little wet.
•
He may not look or act like it, but he is your very own. Just allow him a few years to get used to being back in civilization again.
•
If any problems arise that you cannot handle, please call the Vietnamese Police at BIEN HOA, BARIA, SAIGON or VUNG TAU. They will not be able to help you,
but they like to use the telephone, as it makes them feel important.
•
Do not send any letters or parcels after …………….. as this crazy looking, bloody-eyed, mud-splattered, damp, lonely, dishevelled and idiotic so called soldier is
on his way back to you.
Good Luck. You'll need it.

When I was 13, I hoped that one day I
would have a girlfriend with big tits.
When I was 16 I got a girlfriend with big
tits, but there was no passion, so I
decided I needed a passionate girl with a
zest for life.
In college I dated a passionate girl, but
she was too emotional. Everything was an
emergency; she was a drama queen, cried
all the time and threatened suicide. So I
decided I needed a girl with stability.
When I was 25 I found a very stable
girl but she was boring. She was
totally predictable and never got
excited about anything. Life became
so dull that I decided that I needed a
girl with some excitement.
When I was 28 I found an exciting girl,
but I couldn't keep up with her. She
rushed from one thing to another,
never settling on anything. She did
mad impetuous things and made me
miserable as often as happy. She was
great fun initially and very energetic,
but directionless. So I decided to find a
girl with some real ambition..
When I turned 30, I found a smart
ambitious girl with her feet planted
firmly on the ground, so I married her.
She was so ambitious that she
divorced me and took everything I
owned.
I am older and wiser now and I am
again looking for a girl with big tits.

ANOTHER TRUE (TALL) TALE FROM AUSTRALIA:
I went fishing one morning, but after a short time I ran out of my
prawn bait. Bugger!
Then I saw a red-belly black snake with a frog in his mouth. I said to
it, ‘Good on yer, Cobber’.
(Frogs are really good barramundi bait.)
Knowing that the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth,
I grabbed him
right behind the head, took the frog off the teeth, and put it in my
bait bucket.
Now the problem was; how to release the snake without getting
bitten.
So, I grabbed my traveller’s bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label
and poured a moderate amount of whiskey into its mouth.
The snake’s eyes rolled back and he went limp.
I released him into the lake without further incident and carried on
fishing, using the frog as bait.
A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. It was that bloody snake
again, with two more frogs.

The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer
and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot,
according to a report
to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulate, at
Bergen , Norway.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to
a radical change
in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in
the Arctic zone.
Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been
met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.
Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream
still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth
and stones,
the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers
have entirely disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern
Arctic,
while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never
before ventured so far north,
are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the
sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.
* * * * * * * * *
I must apologize.
This report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP
and published in The Washington Post - 93 years ago.
This must have been caused by the Model T Ford's emissions!

Smithy’s Australia Day
by Warren Dakin
Australians are a funny lot, you’ll often hear one curse,
How things have started badly, and they’ll probably get worse,
The weathers dry, the sun’s so hot it’s stolen all the water,
The Government has never done the things we think they oughta’.
But if we hear a tourist say his home is much more grand,
They had better be prepared to make a very solid stand.
For although we Aussies may complain at what’s become our lot,
When someone knocks this country, we defend with all we’ve got.
We may criticise some teenage brat, may even wish them failure,
But we stand behind them cheering when they’re playing for Australia.
Because, if this is home to you, the country of your birth,
Then you back the native player to beat anyone on Earth.
When the cricket bats are swinging or when someone scores a try,
When a home grown horse has won the cup and made the owner cry,
When some paralympic athlete hits the front and sets the pace,
You’ll hear “Aussie Aussie Aussie” as the crowd goes off their face.
And although we like to take a break in overseas locations,
If you take the time to question this nomadic population,
They will tell you without blinking that wherever they may roam,
The best part of the journey was the last bit, ….coming home.
For the sun was never brighter on the beach at Waikiki,
Than it is on all the sandy shores Australia has to see,
The water never purer nor the air as fresh and clear,
The people never friendlier than those that we have here.
If you venture to the outback where grass is scarce as snow,
As you swelter you may wonder what it was that made you go,
But just look at the locals who have lived there since their birth,
And I know you will not find a better class of folk on earth.
All across this wide brown country from the Cape to Hobart town,
There are people who will help you when you find the chips are down,
And if someone should abuse you, and does it just because,
Then that person’s not Australian, and that person never was.
So when you feel disgruntled just remember this rendition,
And never blame the country for the acts of politicians,
Look up and count your blessings when you see our flag unfurled,
And be grateful that you live in the best country in the world.

They have these Tree Carvings all over Orangeville.!!!
Why is it that some people have so much talent ?
Worth watching. I would like this in my garden.

57 Shades
Of Green
She was the most stunning
gorgeous girl I had ever laid eyes
on… Beautiful long
flowing black hair down to
her waist and
she was heading straight for me..
I had’t been there 2 minutes..
“you cherry boy, you cherry boy”
she cried out across
the room…
“You buy me Saigon tea..” never
bloody well heard of it.. You want
what? Tea …. I’m what?
That seemingly was some sort of ice
Breaker.. Because as I nodded my
Head in my somewhat delirious
state, I was pulled to a table and
immediately felt these soft hands in
the lap of
my pants eagerly wanting to explore
my very delicate areas..
So shocked I was that in my violent
movement of withdrawal.. my
zipper
caught my foreskin which had
Popped out accidently..
Oh my god… I yelled…
Which noise of course immediately
brought 3 or 4 more girls to the
table wanting to look.. assist or
something..
The pretty angel which had
initially
caused all this, somehow
managed to
Keep me quiet and unhook
the zip
In the most delicate way..
Well there was no more talk
of Saigon Tea.. Infact.. All of a
sudden
I had a large key thrust in my
top Pocket and I was
instructed to
immediately get into a waiting
Lambretta and taken to some
House miles and miles away…
With my doodle still causing
me enormous grief, somehow
Staggering to the 3 wheeled
Monstrosity as I was about to
find out…
No sooner had I balanced
myself on the wooden framed
seats hanging on the sides of
this thing… it took off like
A rocket…

For the continuation of this
story
Don’t miss the
next issue..
THIS IS QUITE A
STORY….
All I could do was just to hang
on, as this thing flew around
corners… down side streets,
All the while almost
continuously blasting
everything that moved with
his little horn….
At one point I almost flew out
as this beast of a thing went
around some corner…
I had almost forgotten poor
little willie who had again
given voice that there was
still considerable pain which
needed some attention…
In the most careful way….
whilst this idiot of a driver was
still exercising his ridiculous
road skills… I loosened my
pants to have a good squizz…
At that very moment the
driver stopped dead and in
jumped 3 beautiful young
ladies…
Well there I was, in a
lambretta, in the middle of no
where… with virtually my
pants down and again
Strange women looking at my
privates…
Will this day ever end and
what the hell have I gotten
myself into….
In a somewhat broken
english..part Vietnamese
I heard one say..
“everything ok…
You no.1 Cherry Boy…
We fix and look after you…
Feeling somewhat comforted
and a touch more at ease, but
very much still on edge, I felt a
good sharp jolt pushing me to
the back of now our little jet..
with the scrunch bodies
squashing up against me…
The rocket was on the move
again and all we could do was
just hang on to anything that
felt solid…

When you look up
And see this…
It’s always Special….

Lessons From Legendary General Sun
Tzu: How to Use Military Strategy to
Build Better Habits
by James Clear
Sun Tzu was a legendary military strategist
in ancient China and he is the author of the
famous book, The Art of War. He was a
master of “soft power” and the father of
“agile warfare.” Whenever possible, he
preferred to win without fighting or, at the
very least, to win the easiest battles first.
He wrote, “In war, the victorious strategist
only seeks battle after the victory has been
won.” He advised his troops to “make your
way by unexpected routes and attack
unguarded spots.” And he further stated,
“Military tactics are like water. For water,
in its natural course, runs away from high
places and hastens downwards. So, in war,
the way is to avoid what is strong and
strike at what is weak.”
The teachings of Sun Tzu extend far
beyond the field of battle because they are
focused on finding the easiest way to
achieve a specific goal. His approaches can
be applied to everything from business
growth and goal setting to weight loss and
habit formation.
Let’s talk about how to apply military
strategy to our daily lives.
The Battle for Better Habits
Too often, we try to build new habits,
achieve big goals, and otherwise “win at
life” through sheer force. We fight our
battles directly and attack the enemy —
in this case, our bad habits — at the
point where they are strongest.
For example:
•We try to follow a strict diet while we
are out to dinner with friends.
•We try to write a book in a noisy
environment.
•We try to eat healthy in a house filled
with sweets and sugar.
•We try to do our homework with the
television on.
•We try to concentrate while using a
smartphone filled with social media
apps, games, and other distractions.
And when we fall off course and fail to
achieve our goals, we blame ourselves
for “not wanting it badly enough” and
for not having enough willpower. In
many cases, however, failure is not a
result of poor willpower, but a result of
poor strategy.
Good military leaders start by winning
easy battles and improving their
position. They wait until the opposition
is weakened and morale is low before
they take on their foe directly. Why
start a war by fighting battles in areas
that are well-defended? Why start new
habits in an environment that makes
progress difficult?
Sun Tzu would never lead his army into
a battle where the terrain was not to his
advantage. He would not begin by
attacking the point where the enemy is
strongest. Similarly, we should make
easy improvements to our habits first,
build our strength, and establish a
better position from which to attack the
most difficult changes.

Sun Tzu, Master of Habits
Let’s adapt Sun Tzu’s
teachings to building better
habits.
Example 1:
•Sun Tzu: “You can be sure in
succeeding in your attacks if
you only attack places which
are undefended.”
•Adapted: “You can be sure
in succeeding in your habits if
you only build habits which
are easy to maintain.”
Example 2:
•Sun Tzu: “He will win who
knows when to fight and when
not to fight.”
•Adapted: “He will improve
his behavior who knows which
habits to start with and which
ones to leave for later.”
Example 3:
•Sun Tzu: “A clever general,
therefore, avoids an army
when its spirit is keen, but
attacks it when it is sluggish
and inclined to return.”
•Adapted: “A clever person,
therefore, avoids the areas
where bad habits are
strongest, but attacks them
where they are weak and easy
to change.”
Fight Battles You Are Destined to
Win
Becoming better is not simply a
matter of willpower or work ethic. It’s
also a matter of strategy. What people
assume is a lack of willpower or an
unwillingness to change is often
simply a consequence of trying to
build good habits in bad
environments.
•If you are trying to read more books,
don’t do it in a room filled with video
games, Netflix, and a television. Move
to a less distracting environment.
•If you’re very overweight, don’t try to
follow a workout program for college
athletes. You can get there eventually,
but that’s not a battle you need to fight
right now. Start with a manageable
change.
•If you’re surrounded by people who
tear down your goals, then work on
your projects in a different location or
reach out to like-minded people.
•If you’re trying to stick to a writing
habit when your kids are home from
school and your house is in chaos,
then work on it at a different time.
Switch to a time of less resistance.
Build your habits where it is easy to do
so. Re-define the situation. Create a
game where the odds are stacked in
your favor.
It sounds simple, but how often do
you find yourself fighting difficult
battles and ignoring easy ones? There
is plenty of time to fight the difficult
battles. Win the easy battles first. Do
the things that lead to easy gains
before you bother with the areas
where there are harder gains.
Fight battles you are destined to win.
The smartest path is to improvement
is the one of least resistance.

Yesterday I was at my local Pak n
Save store buying a large bag of Tux
dog food for my loyal pet and was in
the checkout queue when a woman
behind me asked if I had a dog.
What did she think I had an
elephant? So, since I'm retired and
have little to do, on impulse I told
her that no, I didn't have a dog, I
was starting the Tux Diet again. I
added that I probably shouldn’t,
because I ended up in hospital last
time, but I'd lost 10 kilograms
before I woke up in intensive care
with tubes coming out of most of my
orifices and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a
perfect diet and that the way that it
works is to load your pockets with
Tux nuggets and simply eat one or
two every time you feel hungry. The
food is nutritionally complete so it
works well and I was going to try it
again. (I have to mention here that
practically everyone in queue was
now enthralled with my story.)
Horrified, she asked me if I ended
up in intensive care because the dog
food poisoned me. I told her no, I
stepped off the kerb to sniff an Irish
Setter's arse and a car hit me.
I thought the guy behind her was
going to have a heart attack he was
laughing so hard.
Better watch what you ask retired
people.
They have all the time in the world
to think of daft things to say.
A SEAT IN CHURCH
A few minutes before the church
services started, the congregation was
sitting in their pews and chatting
among friends.
Suddenly, in a flash of light, Satan
appeared in front of the congregation!
Everyone started screaming and
running for the exits, trampling each
other in a frantic effort to get away
from the evil incarnate.
Soon the church was empty except for
one elderly cowboy who sat calmly in
his pew without moving, seemingly
oblivious to the fact that God's
ultimate enemy was in his presence.
So Satan walked up to the man and
said, 'Do you know who I am?'
The old cowboy replied, 'Yep, sure do.
'Aren't you afraid of me?' Satan asked.
'Nope, sure ain't.' said the cowboy.
'Don't you realize I can kill you with
one word?' asked Satan.
'Don't doubt it for a minute,' returned
the old man, in an even tone.
'Did you know that I can cause you
profound, horrifying AGONY for all
eternity?' persisted Satan.
'Yep,' was the calm reply.
'And you are still not afraid?' asked
Satan.
'Nope,' said the old cowboy.
More than a little perturbed, Satan
asked, 'Why aren't you afraid of me?'
The old cowboy calmly replied, 'Been
married to your sister for 48 years.'

An admiral visited one of the ships of the line under his command.
While eating breakfast with the crew he was impressed
to see the Naval insignia stamped on every biscuit.
He went to the Chief cook to ask how this feat was done, so
it could be used on other ships under his command.
The Chief replied, "I’d be glad to share that with you, Admiral. After each
biscuit is cut, I just slap it here against my belt buckle
which bears the Navy insignia.”
Horrified the Admiral exclaims, "That's very un-hygienic!"
The Chief shrugs and replies, "If that’s the way you feel, sir,
I suggest you avoid the doughnuts."

To commemorate her birthday, actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews
made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City Music
Hall for the benefit of the AARP. One of the musical numbers
she performed was 'My Favorite Things' from the legendary
movie 'Sound Of Music'. Here are the lyrics she used:
(Sing It!) - If you sing it, its especially hysterical!!!
Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cadillacs and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.
When the joints ache, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.

A bit late for Xmas but worth watching, maybe there is a Santa.

A Ford Airplane -
AMAZING
This was 6 months BEFORE
Pearl Harbor!
Henry Ford was determined that
he could mass produce bombers
just as he had done with cars, so
he built the Willow Run assembly
plant in Michigan and proved it.
It was the world's largest building
under one roof at the time.
This film will absolutely blow
you away -
one B-24 every 55 minutes. . .
and Ford had their own pilots to
test them. and they had no recalls

Three dogs were sitting in the waiting room at the vet's when they struck up a conversation.
The Black Labrador turned to the yellow Labrador and said, "So why are you here?”
The yellow Lab replied, "I'm a pisser. I piss on everything, the sofa, the curtains, the cat, and
the kids. But the final straw was last night when I pissed in the middle of my owner's bed."
The black Lab said, "So what's the vet going to do?”
"Gonna cut my nuts off," came the reply from the yellow Lab. "They reckon it'll calm me down".
The Yellow Lab then turned to the Black Lab and asked,
"Why are you here?"
The Black Lab said, "I'm a digger. I dig under fences, dig up flowers and trees, I dig just for the hell of it.
When I'm inside, I dig up the carpets. But I went over the line last night when I dug a great big hole in
my owners' couch."
"So what are they going to do to you?" the Yellow Lab inquired.
"Looks like I'm losing my nuts too," the dejected Black Lab said.
The Black Lab then turned to the Great Dane and asked,
"Why are you here?”
I'm a humper," said the Great Dane.
"I'll hump anything. I'll hump the cat, a pillow, the table, and fence posts, whatever.
I want to hump everything I see." Yesterday my owner had just got out
of the shower and was bending down to dry her toes, and I just couldn't help myself.
I hopped on her back and started hammering away."
The Black and the Yellow Labs exchanged a sad glance and said,
"So, its nuts off for you too,
huh?"
The Great Dane said, "No, apparently I'm here to get my nails clipped".

-Have loaded four new Albums(Sets) of photos from 2 Comp Ord/2AOD Veterans
this week. I will list the links later in this email.
Would like some feedback on what you think as many hours have gone into
improving & cleaning up the photos before I was ready to load the end product!
Also if anyone recognises anyone in the photos I have not labelled with their names
please advise me the photo number, whose album/set & details. I have tried to
name people where possible & with help of other Vets.
The Albums/Sets loaded can be accessed on following links:
Allan Gronow 2Comp Ord/2AOD 1967-68
https://www.flickr.com/photos/aodcurator/sets/72157644549331121/
Peter Carthew 2Comp Ord 1967
Jeff Styles 2Comp Ord/2AOD 1967-68
Ron Golding 2AOD 1967-68
When I add a new Album/Set I also add it to the Collection “Sets added since
January 2013” on this link:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/aodcurator/collections/72157643389423085/
This saves anyone who has been through all albums/sets before having to go
through everything to see what is new or recent. New sets/albums are also
allocated to appropriate Collections.
Other direct links to my Vietnam Site are as follows:

All Albums/Sets: https://www.flickr.com/photos/aodcurator/sets/
Vung Tau 2010:
Ordnance Vietnam Website: http://2aod.asn.au/
Again I have a lot more to load but I would prefer to clean the photos/slides up first
before adding to this site. I would think you would notice a big improvement in
quality of photos on my site now to when I first started loading photos. At some
stage I would like to redo my earlier ones. My biggest problem is not having enough
hours in each day to do what I want to do!

To those who played in the VFL (Vietnam Football League) at Vung Tau during the war
you will be pleased to know that I was approached to have our history recorded in the
History of Australian Football Website (as below). This site I believe gets updated with
the National Archives from time to time. So (amongst other things I am working on) I
have worked with them over the last few weeks to record the story with many photos
from 1966 until 1971. As from today our story is now included on the their site (see
first link below). I am sure this will interest former players from all teams in the
competition but other Veterans and those people generally interested in Aussie Rules
Footy. I would like your feedback on the article so I can pass it on to Michael Riley who
I worked with to produce the article.
