Wouldn't you just know it. We moved the "Catalina Festival" in Rathmines Park from October to stop it clashing with another event and now it clashes with this important event.
The festival is to raise money to build a hanger to house the Catalina that was bought in Portugal, flown out here and will be housed in Rathmines eventually.
I guess they will miss me there?
Count me in!!!!

Very close PW... On the 3rd of November, 2003, two members of the 13th MOBI Intake realised a long held vision to create a unique website, with an on-line forum for ALL ex-Naval Artificer Apprentices, (MOBI's/ Muppets), Phasies, Mechanicians, Direct Entry Tradespeople, etc., along with all the Support Staff, Instructors, Officers, Ship's Company and 'Friends'...

Our daughter jumped ship last month and joined the Army.
She passes out of Kapooka about then so we will be in the neighbourhood.

I was sent this a week or so ago (again...) I post it "as is" ... with the caveat that the views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the management, etc!
Harry's and Garden Island.
Notice the appropriately placed shit tins with dents.
The smell of the gas burner cooking up the evening goodies.
Pies and Peas and redders everywhere.
The taste of the tomato soup after a gutful at the Rockers, Rex , Tilbury, Frisco, Bells, Chevron, Texas Tavern from Ten past Ten
till early morning.
Watching non handlers losing their pies and peas and all the nights grog in the gutter.
Warries of imense proportion being swapped from one drunken sailor to another.
Staggering back into GI, ripping off the bottom of ID card and giving it to the enemy on the gate, along with a heap of advice about his heritage and birth certificate anomalies with a final thrust at how fitted he was to the job he had.
Feeling better for all that and heading for the ship and your nice bunk only to find out they had removed the caisson from the dry dock and it was another two hundred and eighty five thousand steps to get to your ship.
Waking up the next morning, Sal Vital save me. Uncomfortable silence from your mess oppos gauges how good a time you had and what an arsehole you had made of yourself.
Come stepping time it was do it all again...
What alcohol abuse..!!!!!!!!!
Bloody hell, I miss it... Annon... (Alcoholics Annon, probably...)
You don't have to look at old black and white photos to re-live your sorry past...
...just make the decision, and then the effort, to join us on 5th November at our
2011 9th Annual RAN Skilled Hands Sydney Rocks Xmas Pub Crawl Smokey...
