G'day @Neil1956, we have a dog we're thinking of adopting from an animal rescue, who looks a lot like Maggie. Regards, Jeff.

Maggie is a rescue too.  We got her from the Dogs Trust back in 2018.  She's an ex-racer who was lucky enough to have a responsible trainer - she has absolutely zero prey drive, where the normal Greyhound will see something small & furry and go "lunch" Maggie just looks at it and trys to be friends.  Which backfired last year when the small furry thing turned out to be a transient Badger who swiped  her snout with a claw....

       I wish ours didn't either. The cat (Moondyne) has been confined to one end of the house for his own protection. And yesterday he (Dougie) followed SWMBO into the chook pen. Fortunately the good wife turfed him out pronto before he could do any harm although he did chase a few I believe. Parts of the front yard are off-limits to him also, they're refuges for lizards and bandicoots.

OUCH!   I wish Moondyne would do that to Dougie, to put him in his place, the bottom of the pecking order (seniority). I don't know our new dog's history but we get the impression he has had cause to fear men, some of his reactions  .   .   . But I think he's becoming to trust us. He adores my wife and has become very protective of her.

 

Regards, Jeff.

One for those with a strong stomach - here's one of me taken a couple of years ago. I'm not photogenic so you really don't want to see any others.

Me taken last year. In a month or so I will be 72, still young at heart and an avid race car fan. Call me Van if you must, a nick name I was called at work some 45 years ago.

Sadly all I see is a blue square. Hopefully it’s just a minor glitch and the photo will show up soon.

Welcome to the forum sir.

       G'day Russ aka @Blacque Jacque, You're obviously doing your Barry Manilow impersonation act! 🤣 But seriously (well, as much as we can be on this site) I'm a fan in years gone by of Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Blue Oyster Cult, Led Zeppelin etc. I still like their stuff, even though I'm now 68. In the photo you look to be of a similar genre.

       And welcome aboard to Britmodeller.       Regards, Jeff.

Thanks Jeff.

Probably more James Last 😆

 

Yeah, always been in that ballpark, just a tad younger than thee, so UFO, Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest etc, although the bands you mentioned are of course the foundation stones of what I call "Classic Rock".

So just post the corrected post and report incorrect post for deletion and tell us that. You reported a post before with no indication as to why it was reported. We don’t read minds yet.

Here’s a photo I just found while looking through a box of old stuff. It’s me way back in 1974, when I was on a US Navy recruiting tour of a ballistic missile sub. It must have been successful, because soon afterwards I signed up.

G'day Bill (aka @billn53), I bet you couldn't help yourself, and said "Fire One!"   😁     Regards, Jeff.


Indeed! But I subsequently learned that the proper term is “Shoot!”  The word ‘fire’ has nasty connotations on a sub.

       G'day, good point. Have you seen the film "The Bedford Incident" staring Richard Widmark, Sidney Poitier, James MacArthur and Martin Balsam? (And read the book too). Must be careful when you use the term/word.

       But at least you didn't say "Torpedo Los!" 😁       Regards, Jeff.
