The Never Ending Story

NES early contributors would know that the origins of Bull being called Bull has nothing to do with bovines!  It comes from the years of prawn fishing in the  Gulf and PNG ,his crew called him that as normally Bull was easy going until you stirred  him up then he could turn into a "Bullrout" Just for everyone's information and to discourage disinformation upon this platform thankyou.

Crappy congratulates bull (now Bull) on his new keyboard and looks forward to seeing a plethora of Capital LeTtErS as Bull continues with his POSTS.

 

It is also great to see that Bull is a doyen of the fishing & trawling industries, and like Turbo + OT, the staff that worked with him/them sometimes considers him/them to be a complete a.hole.

 

Crappy, on the other hand, has always been beloved by his hundreds of staff.

(OT is in awe of bulls last posting, where he ensures NES contributors are made aware of the difference between Bull the Man, and bull the Legend. bull's legacy is one that few men can copy - terroriser of prawns, terroriser of boat crew, and terroriser of anyone who steps on him. There will shortly be a lucrative offer from Hollywood moguls, all fighting for the right to make the blockbuster film of bulls life, which will make Indiana Jones look like a small grey accountant).

It actually originated during the US War of Independence,  but don't tell anyone that the NES may have strayed from the facts.

.....pineapples. Not too many people know that Cappy Cook VIII was the driving force and majority landowner behind the Tahitian pineapple plantations. Just as the Mafia in Sicily control the Italian tomato trade, so does Cappy Cook VIII get a sizeable kickback on every Tahitian pineapple produced, eaten or juiced. 

 

In fact, so invasive is Cappy Cook VIII's control of the pineapple industry in the country, that Tahitian slang today is, "Do you want a Cappy?", whenever someone asks if they want a pineapple, or even a pineapple juice.

 

The Tahitian slang has even extended to, "get the rough end of a Cappy", for description of the poor treatment of someone, such as the way the Tahitian equivalent of CASA, the DACPF, treats Tahitian aircraft owners.

 

However, when the DACPF approaches Cappy about some aviation transgression he's committed (and believe me, he's committed plenty of transgressions, and not just aviation transgressions, either), then they slip on the kid gloves, and approach him with extreme care, such is his fearful reputation - so much so, that........

[turboplanner]

....the DACPF has its own Section VIII.

This Department, like some Australian Government equivalents has some people wetting themselves at the clever ploy of not mentioning Cappy, and so not alerting him that whenever he passes through Customs and gets the special big stamp 8   on his passport, to the crew of four burley Tahitian Warriors in white suits driving a Chrysler 300, and tailing his executive Thruster all over the Islands.

About the right length.

In the days before Wagga Wagga became a bespoke, woke, effeminate shadow of the real Riverina era, the 4 Cs as they called themselves would walk the streets with their sawn offs bulging their dacks.

 

None of them had terribly good memories, so they walked with their legs apart, just in case they'd forgotten to put the safetys on.

 

Most Waggans gave them a wide berth, but there is always someone who wants to put his finger in a saw to see what would happen and Alastair McCracken, a Palestinian refugee.
