You're Welcome If you are ever in Cairns give me a buzz and I will take you around :grin:

And then there's this headline :-

And this one too:- Can't believe i found 'em :P

How true are some of those headlines for all of us P.M.Rudd wants to stop binge drinking :? :evil: :twisted: My God there will be no wet canteens in all the services so who will join up :shock: Pussers taught me how to binge drink :grin: :smile:

It was more like Whinge drinking for a lot of us cooks we always used to whinge at stumps when the closed the wets .

Of course thats after downing a tray of gashies. :grin: But that wasn't binge drinking ...just thirsty :roll:

We use to keep our Beer issue locked up in the Galley, because we were still cleaning up after Scran we never got the cans cracked, it use to make a huge "Channels Night" , that wasn't binge drinking it was to celebrate surviving up top.

two dits both true stories,first off was in lindsay Betters watch at Cerberus,apart from so called duty cook all went to wets for quiet ale as soon as it opened,problem was when I was duty cook(ab just out of cookery school)and the troops are gathering at the front of mess hall and you are shitting yourself running around trying to get scran on the line thinking you have done ok,Lindsay,pig pen ect walk in and say ready to go,then straight after scran and rounds back to piss bar and when you lock up come up for one,shit thanks , next dit also true.only ever served on the Melb ,but,assume the custom of piss up night before returning to Aust after trip up top was common,can`t remember which trip but the one in mind was usual beer issue and as per the norm the duty free`s got a bit of a nudge,bout 1 am some of the boys in 4G mess were still thirsty,for those that don`t know the Melb the BEER fridge was 5F (thats right,next door and one deck down)very big padlock on door to beer,no problem the cookie boys just took the hinges off the wall,the best bit is they put it back and no one knew how the the cooks got so f..... pissed on a standard beer issue,sure I have seen some names on site that were involved and could shed more light on the biggest piss up I ever saw at sea
