http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page/board/announcements/thread/1278142

Pers that 'snap' you provided this morning was ace, it lasted until lunch too

Dea, I hope things went as well as could be expected <3

I dont get high noon Joy?

Good one Jonesey :-D


I have had a reply from Howard.......it's as convoluted as his message. I still think he hasn't fully grasped how these boards function.



Hiya Joy......High Noon? Guess you were having a Gary Cooper moment....lol ;-)



Wonder how Dea is getting on?


Beautiful afternoon here.

Love it Mr Jones.... :-D

Life in the Australian Army...

Text of a letter from a kid from Eromanga to Mum and Dad. (For Those of you not in the know, Eromanga is a small town, west of Quilpie in the far south west of Queensland )


Dear Mum & Dad,

I am well. Hope youse are too. Tell me big brothers Doug and Phil that the Army is better than workin' on the station - tell them to get in bloody quick smart before the jobs are all gone! I wuz a bit slow in settling down at first, because ya don't hafta get outta bed until 6am. But I like sleeping in now, cuz all ya gotta do before brekky is make ya bed and shine ya boots and clean ya uniform. No bloody horses to get in, no calves to feed, no troughs to clean - nothin'!! Ya haz gotta shower though, but its not so bad, coz there's lotsa hot water and even a light to see what ya doing!

At brekky ya get cereal, fruit and eggs but there's no kangaroo steaks or goanna stew like wot Mum makes. You don't get fed again until noon and by that time all the city boys are buggered because we've been on a 'route march' - geez its only just like walking to the windmill in the bullock paddock!!

This one will kill me brothers Doug and Phil with laughter. I keep getting medals for shootin' - dunno why. The bullseye is as big as a bloody dingo's a**e and it don't move and it's not firing back at ya like the Johnsons did when our big scrubber bull got into their prize cows before the Ekka last year! All ya gotta do is make yourself comfortable and hit the target - it's a piece of p**s!! You don't even load your own cartridges, they comes in little boxes, and ya don't have to steady yourself against the rollbar of the roo shooting truck when you reload!

Sometimes ya gotta wrestle with the city boys and I gotta be real careful coz they break easy - it's not like fighting with Doug and Phil and Jack and Boori and Steve and Muzza all at once like we do at home after the muster.

Turns out I'm not a bad boxer either and it looks like I'm the best the platoon's got, and I've only been beaten by this one bloke from the Engineers - he's 6 foot 5 and 15 stone and three pick handles across the shoulders and as ya know I'm only 5 foot 7 and eight stone wringin' wet, but I fought him till the other blokes carried me off to the boozer.

I can't complain about the Army - tell the boys to get in quick before word gets around how bloody good it is.

Your loving daughter,

Sheila

Hope all goes well Dea... thinking of you...

High noon ..... :)

No i have had no money :-(



Rob

Hello Rob

Got your certificate yet? I will be interested in what it has to say.

Cheers Persie :-)

I think Howard has posted here as his seen the title of the thread. I dont think his hijacking the thread just put his view out there.


People can be a bit snappy on this site but i would say for finding help GR wins hands down against Ancestry.

I hope Howard comes back but it is a pain when people post twice. but i have done it when i was a new member we must remeber its exciting starting are family tree and people will tend to jump in there.

it could be maybe a bit nicer if we could put hello my friend please dont post about the same person twice.

Rob

I'll have a nibble of most of it Perse because it looks so interesting. Thank you very much for your efforts.


Off to my voluntary job as soon as OH is functioning.


I sent a pm to Howard - it remains unopened. I have a feeling he has not quite grasped the workings of this site yet. Just wondering what sort of reply I will get....... :-S


Thinking of Dea and hoping all goes well.

Potato Parathas...

Now youre talking Pers.......thank you, Ive got a bag full of goodies and am orf to work

Laters x

Sorry got carried away there and forgot to say breakfast is served.

There is also dried fruit and nuts on the sideboard.

I have used chick pea flour...

Vege pakoras or paneer pakoras (they are made with cheese in them usually)

Vege Samosas little bit spicy.

Vege Korma - mild

Naan bread with fruit chutney or apple sauce.
Garlic Naan.

Roti - and have done bacon and eggs to go with Roti or butter chicken and rice.

Poori ... these are bready type balls fried in oil.. gluten free.

Potato Parathas...

I am not too good on Punjabi/HIndi sweet foods, I find them a bit too sweet

So there are strawberry muffins, apricot shortcake and blueberry pancakes.

Organic coffee, Tea, and Milo... or Almond honey milk.


Persie

Oh yum, for some reason I thought they were shellfish!

Oooooo....yes please, veg ones though....any dips?

Grace they are little Indian snacks, deep fried a bit like bhaji

Yummmmmmmm :-D

I can't remember what they are Persie..can you re explain! Cheers

Anybody like pakoras for breakfast? <3
