Right at the bottom of the page mate.

I am often assailed by Orstralians for being a pommie b...d whereupon I inform that I am a naturalised Ossie, lift my fringe to reveal the lobotomy scar.

Good - you can read a clock as well - impressive.

Therefore the cut-off point will be 1118 Prune clock.

Yes we all see the same, it's just that on many occasions you have asked us what the time is over here, so now you know.

An Aussie pirate walks into a bar with a wooden leg, a hook and an eye patch.
The Barman says 'Sheesh - How'd you lose the leg'

The Pirate says 'Arrrrr - A shark took it off at the knee'

The Barman says 'Thats no good, what about the hand?'

The Piarate says 'Arrrrg - Lost it in a bloody bar brawl'

The Barman says 'Jeez - Well what about the eye then?'

The Pirate says 'Thats easy a seagul crapped in it'

The Barman says 'What?!?!'

The Pirate says 'Arrrrrrr...I'd only had the hook one day...'

A thousand apologies. I never noticed that clock before until you just pointed it out. I've usually gone by the time of the last post, but that can be very inaccurate.

Morning RR.

Go back a page - there is no current challenge.

The 12 hour guideline is at 1118 UTC.

To go back a page, and discover the reason...

Reminds me of a joke...

A Buddhist goes up to a hot-dog vendor and says "Can you make me one with everything?"

Is it now clear RR why we're just biding our time?

In it there is a red biplane representing a kraut, with a large radial engine. Looks out of place.

What is it?

Actually, that's not fair. I haven't done that in a long time. I do however ask about the weather.

Just polite chit-chat. After all, you're British and love to chat! Tea anyone?

It's Hollywood! Even the Dambusters had many inaccuracies in it.

Yeah mate I know, but they filmed it in 1976 and there was no CGI. Whether the aircraft were replicas or authentic, doesn't matter, that biplane was real and must have a name?
