Ned perplexed? :omg1:

Would you believe I made a presento sextant out of perplex once? For RADm Tony Horton. Real decent bloke. Taught him how to use fibreglass as well.

Tony Horton was the skipper at Creswell when I was Mess Pres. He was really supportive and virtually let us run the mess as we saw fit. Definitely the best skipper I served under. :ok:

Same here, Ned. When I posted onto HOBART Crash Kennedy was the skipper and we all thought when he was leaving that no-one could be as good. Tony Horton replaced Crash and we couldn't believe our luck!

Then, when I was a civilian instructor at Nirimba in '90, the powers that be asked if I could give someone a GRP course during the leave period. It was Tony, and we had a great time for 2 weeks as I taught him to repair his GRP yacht. Just a top bloke who brought out the best in everyone. :ok: :ok: :ok: :ok:

Denyse and I went to the Palisades (upstairs) for a drink on Thursday, the cheapest wine was a pino grigio at $13 a glass or $70 a bottle. Needless to say we only had one drink. We ventured into the Argyle and were very impressed with the setup (and only $7.50 a glass). Is it on our itinery??

:-k Is that next door to the Lowenbrau (with alternative access via the Lowenbrau's back door)? if so, I've been advocating for it to be added to the list for the last two runs, I like the look of it too... :yes:

I think so, but the lowenbrau now appears to be called the Munich Brauhaus if it's the one I think you mean.
