Re: What is new in your little world?

Today I had a little clean out. I dumped or shredded some old school books and other memorabilia :cry: :tear: I even had some resume stuff including a few letters of commendation from a number of politicians of the day. We are talking the 1980's here. Remember I foiled that escape at the prison on a night shift? I've told you about it here I am sure.

There were some other letters of commendations for actions in the jail riots of the day. I must tell you some day of the special squad I was in way back then. It was designated 'Charlie Squad'. There were 4 of these emergency response squads with ten prison officers in each. Think of those videos with the French riot police squads you've seen on TV and you'll get my drift. I vividly remember dressing in my batman suit, blue overalls, a Police utility belt, riot helmet, shield and baton and not to forget my special (ex regular Australian Army GP) boots. Wish I had photos to share.

Speaking of photos, I met up with an old Prison Officer work mate at the last reunion. Jock was a feisty fellow in those days. Well blow me down, he did have a couple of photos of the era and they were of the aftermath of a large riot, more correctly of the days after... Nice to see...

I am in my early 60's and I've been carrying the school books around since primary and high school days: Believe it! 50 odd years at least :rolleyes:

Look, I've been meaning to get rid of these for years. I have been here 5 and the previous home 12 and before that near 20. These hand written essay, social studies and maths books, brown paper covered with hand cut pictures pasted on homework books were near antique.

Oh well, they're gone now.

With a 0 ping looks like an internet services provider network.

Not with such a low upload. We had around a gigabit up and down at my old job.

Zero ping I think that's a bug from beta interface. Here's another screenshot.

TGT is the only reason i got Prime, but it turns out to have been useful for other things, like free delivery and John Wick and Hardcore Henry
