    Cruise holidays

    We’ve done a few cruises too on RC for the same reason above and have enjoyed each one. Last one was Nov last year and the crew were more from all over the place, much more multi cultural than the first cruises. Terrific service all around as Jeff B said, they all seem to really enjoy herring to know their customers! We enjoy cruise for the unpack once, great food and service, the shows are usually bloody good too. We DON’T get Internet package as it’s a get away from ‘normal’ life for us and we’re very happy lounging by the Adults only pool area reading and enjoying cocktails. My maths tells me it about 6 or 7 cocktails a day to ‘break even’ on the drinks package and it means you don’t have to worry about a bill in $US (on RC) at the end of the cruise. We’ll be doing more cruises in the future for sure. cheers, stu.
  2. The images cant be all that old . . . .The Sydney Harbour shot shows the two LHD's and we haven't had them all that long. Fabulous clarity in it!

    LINKT txt scam

    I just remembered another one!!! This was from quite a few years ago . . . I had a phone call telling me I had a problem with my computer and could they talk to the owner of the computer. Told them I didn't have a computer at home (which I didn't, I only had a work laptop). . . The gentleman became quite insistent that I put him onto the owner of the home computer. I ended up having to hang up on him. The funny part was 3 days later, I got the same call from someone else . . . and this gentleman got exceedingly angry when I told him I had a similiar call a few days ago! He demanded I tell him who called and would not believe me when I said I didn't know who called as they didn't intoduce themselves! His blood pressure must have gone through the roof pretty damn quick as he started SHOUTING AT ME TO TELL HIM WHO CALLED!!! 🤣 I never had more delight in hanging up on someone than that one!

    LINKT txt scam

    I got a phone call from someone 'supposedly' from my bank advising me of apparant unusal purchases on my credit card. They were very friendly and did sound authentic enough to have me worried. In my office we have poor mobile reception, so to talk to them I had to leave my desk thus being unable to quickly logon to check the card online myself. They offered to cancel the card and send me a replacement to arrive the next day . . . . first warning light goes off in my brain... as I know somone who works for the company supplying credit cards and KNOW that is not possible. Second warning sign and final straw was when they wanted my PIN to 'set up the new card for you' . . . YEAH . . . NAH!!! I suggested I wasn't comfortable with that and they said 'But I've identified myself to you . . .' Ummmm, yeah nah again! I said 'no you didn't you just told me that you were from somewhere . . . .' and with that they hung up. This was two days before we were to leave on a cruise . . . so I was initially quite engaged with the conversation. Fortunately my spidey senses still work. Stay alert people.
  5. Ahhhh the joys of wet weather cycling . . . . . I reckon you should have 'educated' the girls on the nature you brought home for them 🤣 Nothing quite as ear piercing as the squeals of young girls around bugs/cockroaches/slugs etc!
  6. I was waiting for a bus to work one morning and two young 'ladies' in their car stopped in ht traffic right in fornt of us. Passenger proceeds to toss her ciggy butt out the open window into the gutter... I was in a bit of a mood that morning and went over, picked up the butt and tossed it back into her lap. Also informed her I'd just saved her $200 ... and she looked at me blankly... Told her that's the fine for littering in Sydney CBD. Of course when the lights change and they drove off, she looked straight at me as she threw the butt back out the window. Lotsa ppl are just grubs.
  7. Well you're luckier than what went on in MY household . . . . I woke one night to an elbow in the ribs . .. . with the ex missus demanding to know why I'd kicked her! I said 'Why would I do that!!!' to which I got the terse reply "HOW WOULD I KNOW!" After waking up a bit more it struck me I had been dreaming I was playing footy . . . . . That explanation still didn't go down well . . . . . 🤔 😂
  8. Korean War ended in 53, so old mate must be about 90! Goodonya for helping him out Rebel! 👍👏🙏
  9. What a great looking spot to soak some cabbage and drift a float. Must be so very peaceful.

    Crazy weather

    Please don't . . . cos then I have about a 1 chance in 10 (going by personal history) that it might be sunny! 🤣

    Crazy weather

    I just put in for leave in early March, so pretty good chance of rain then…..
  12. Pretty sure you’re not the Lone Ranger getting out fished by the missus…. Mine nearly never got asked back fishing after outdoing me 5 to 1 😂
  13. I'm with Noel, simple is best! We always 'just' fillet and skin, preferred size is max 35cm. Cooking is simple too . . . sometimes we dip in egg and panko breadcrumbs or sometimes coat in flour and then shallow pan fry in a bit of oil and butter. To me they are a light flavoured fish and bloody awesome. cheers, stu.
  14. I went to one of these run by Randwick Council a couple of years ago and it was pretty good. Aimed at beginners and some ppl just turned up for the free life jackets… Those first sessions didn’t go out of the conference room, so this one having a practical component should be better!

  22. Geez, that DOES sound like my mates! I did see they had a cracker fish or two! They're not on Fishraider any more.
