:hi: Gamlen X is now Gamlen 260, and Swarfega is still manufactured. Navy News February 7 1969 Vol 12 No3 is interesting. Big article on Gamlen being used to clean an American Carrier. Perth on the gunline. Bill Ford on the harbour in a sail boat. Gamlen is mentioned in Jake Jacobs "Toxins in the RAN". What has happened to that??? :omg:

:hi: I'd like to suggest we warm up with the following discussion suggestions:
1. What is the McDonalds Golden Arches theory of world peace?
2. Is Microsoft more powerful than say, Poland?
3. What is the impact of the mass media on international politics?
4. What is microcredit and how is it changing the lives of women in Bangladesh?
5. What is the "Fourth World"?

Oh ........and one for Phred .....What is "blow-back", and how is it significant in US foreign policy?

That'll do for Friday. :finga:
Saturday's suggestions soon.

Carpenters wield planes. Shipwrights use them in the manner they're designed to be used to build beautifully curved works of art.
