Computers and Dinner
My computer plays up and after wasting a morning trying to recover I give up and call in a guy who’s more nerdier than me. Because I can’t open the big box to get the codes for broadband I hook up an old Pentium 2 laptop to dial-up
How did I ever survive at these non-speeds. I opened my 7RAR Association website and it took 4.5 minutes to display the full screen with just a few pics.
Give up, watch the idiot box and see Faulkner gloat over a non-victory.
I should get the box back tomorrow and then all will be well.
Tomorrow night I have a dinner date with a bunch of ex and serving Infantry Officers at the United Services Club in Brisbane. It promises to be a good evening with old friends and as is always the case, a younger, still serving Officer at about Brigadier level will brief us on what is happening. I bet Iraq gets a mention.
Otherwise the laptop makes it too slow to blog so will be off and do something useful for a change.

Having observed faulkner for some time, one thing impresses, he is a nasty bit of work . His conduct during Estimates Committee hearings sum the man up. It would not have been untoward if the minister and the secreatry had walked out rahter than sit their and suffer a torrent of abuse freely hurled by Faulkner. The ALp have real problems, a large number of the ranks are not fit to sit in parlaiment.. Ditto,Spring St., particularly in view of the recent revelations, more, of internal party gangsterism.
What a relief to have get together’s with civilised gentleman. Beats parlaiment by several thousand miles.
Sorry to hear about your computer problems, but at least the link to your 7RAR website gave me the opporunity to read the excellent article on the Vietnam War by O. M. Eather.
