Hi PD’s - & all the snaps look great Tony, but how does your other 1/10 scale crew feel about this? - Derek

Thanks I think, you cheeky devil!!!!

There's not that much unionised labour left over here in Kiwiland so no demarkation disputes over size (yet).

Hi Pd's - Tony - about the only thing we have in common is that we both joined PD's on the same day of the month of the same year - you profess to be of gentile British free stock where as I have the inbourne convict scars on my back - at least Sandy's people had the sence to stay at home  

Anyway tomorrow is a big new day for you  :rant - you know they say 3 meals of fish per week can make or break the aging process

So with this news I now have 10 serves of fish per week & a few   to try & balance it all out

Oh BTW - I have spoken off line with all of the other 234 PD members & we all wish you a very happy new days work tomorrow - your mate across the ditch - Derek

Hi PD's...and Derek.....      :wink:

First I must say to Tony...I wish you all the luck and good fortune your new job will have to offer...from your description, it sounds like a great little number...also...you can blame Derek for all the banter that has come your way....well he did lay down the challenge, even though he can't collect....serves him right.    :luck

Derek...I think it was more from luck than good sense that we managed to stay here....the excise men couldn't handle the rough terrain...or the dreaded Scottish midge....sassenach wimps!!!

regards all

Maaaate, there's one other connection - the ANZAC spirit. We may poke a genteel bit of harmless fun at each other on the very odd occasion but come the day of need and there's no-one we'd rather have fighting alongside us!

'onyer, Ocker, yew bewdy!

As for Sandy Braveheart ... hat's off to you too mate - can't be too rude you see 'cos I'm quarter sporran twirler myself.

Slainte Mhath to the pair of you!

&   - sorry PD's - as Tony reminded me about the ANZAC spirit that we do have in common

Mind you, after having spent 1504 days in service with the Australlian Department of Defence @ HMA Garden Island Naval Dock Yard in Sydney & ending up as the senior forman in above water weapons [gun mounts & missle launchers] on our HMAS ships gives me enough insight to know that I will never equip PS Decoy with any ABSL or [anti bill :boom istic..............weight] - & as Eddie & PJ have said, watch out for the top heavy bits & all of those "things" that are close to deck level - Derek :twisted:
