$53.70. And it was a Federal one.



Why'd they pull him up if his passport deoesn't expire for another half year?



The name's Coupe. Vinum Coupe.
ha ha.

It was weird
I was an illustrator in the army. I produced slide shows, overheads, schematics, ran an awesome dark room with stuff that was off the planet (reproduced pretty much every family photo from 50 years ago :) ) map reproduction, the works.

Then one day the Major walked in and said "clarkey, what clearance do you have?"

2 weeks later I am TS.
Did shit loads of maps in the dark room.

I knew what the operation was but obviously couldn't say a word.
I read loads of newspapers and there was not one mention of a problem in that country.

Incredible really, and it always makes me wonder what is going on currently that we don't know about.
The country was Namibia. It was 1989.
I left, and in 1992 (or so) it was on the news that we were now in there.
So surreal. Just knowing that was 3 years in the planning.

A close mate has just died of cancer, and here i am celebrating his life with a cigarette. how ironic.
Geeze, that's horrible I'm sorry to hear that. 33 yo, jesus thats only 2 years older than me...


But please try and give up the smokes if you can. They are horrible things, my next door neighbours father when I was younger basically drank and smoke himself to an early grave. So yeah maybe try???? :thumbsu:

There actually is some deal about not being able to enter with a passport which expires in less than 6 months.

Life is short guys live for the moment.
Life is long if you quit smoking, 33 jesus.

Anyway.... tis a sad day indeed today. Sony has officially discontinued producing the walkman. -bows head-. RIP walkman, you will be missed- I remember winning my first one of you!!! In a raffle in Grade Six all the way back in 1992, lol. And after that one died, went onto several more, these ones having presets!!! And digital radio.

RIP.

Holy shit they were still making walkmans?

Although what a kick ass thing they were. How many trips to and from school did I make listening to a walkman.

I remember the good itmes, like when you are recording a track and the tape runs out so you have half the track on one side and half on the other. I also remember when I first used a walkman where you didn't have to flip the tape to play the other side!

They don't make advanced shit like that anymore :eek:

Apparently. IIrc I remember seeing one model being sold in JB Hifi not long ago. But yeah HS reported it as being official today, not being made anymore.

Next to go will be the casette tape. Then I'll be in trouble. :eek::D

And they had that belt clip thingy on the back, so you could clip it over your jeans. :thumbsu:

Hahaha I remember that too!!!!! I had a green walkman that did that. :D
