Tobogganing in the Station. Read the whole thing.
A great blog. Australian police have to put up with a lot, but not as much as these guys. Yet somehow they've not just kept their sense of humour, they've kept their sense of fun. Even Superintendents. The better ones, anyway.
And it was time I took a break from Deep and Meaningful subjects, I've been entirely too serious lately.
Intermittent postings from Canberra, Australia on Software Development, Space, Politics, and Interesting URLs.
And of course, Brains...

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
That's just too funny, Zoebie!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in the underground complex in North Bay, we used to have chair races in the halls on a midnight shift, or maybe a war involving rubber bands. Bad euchre scores would get broadcast over the PA system on the Ops Floor, too.
I've heard many stories about what some of the radar techs would do on some of the small stations, too.
Those were the days! Military culture seems to have lost a certain edge to it.
John Ringo published a short story involing potato sack races on board ship. It's set in Weber's Honorverse and I'm sure the US Navy would deny that it had any real basis in actual events.
