The ladies were not happy with the renaming, particularly Jessie who was on the phone for a while and said "Stuff them, I've booked us for Boongara RSL next year." Cappy had lost interest in the girls and had his eyes on Turbo's taxi coing holder. "Get them all out!" he said loudly and there was a general rustling behind him until the girls realised he was talking to Turbo. Turbo's wide eyes alerted Cappy to the situation, but he was too late turning round. Turbo pulled the coins out until the holder was empty; they were all heads and tails combinations.

I thought he was going to rip the undercarriage off!" "No? Where?", said Cappy as he spun around in his chair (as fast as his portly frame would allow for "speed"), looking hither and thither at an empty runway, and not an aircraft in sight. "Ahhh, you missed it! You were too slow!", said Turbo - as he surreptitiously poured the coffee into a nearby pot plant - thus promptly making the pot plant stand more erect, and gain some extra size. Cappy spun around in his chair again, ready to examine the contents of Turbo's cup - but again, he was too late, as Turbo already had it in the sink, and was cleaning it. "I can't believe this!", cried Cappy, "First off, it was - initiate a major distraction, then it was, dispose of the contents without a trace, now it's..........

Captain Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) SOME FURTHER HISTORY - Turbo and Nobu were international pen-friends between the wars and as a little joke they offered to exchange vowels for 12 months. So for a year Tubb was called Torbu San and Nob was "Nubo the Knob" (He actually wanted to be called Bluey, but that was never on as his hair was not even slightly red). They thought it was a real giggle back in those more innocent days. "Torbu was a leal funny young plick when he was a rittle tacker, and I ruved frying down to Moolabbin to be birreted with him and his famiry. However those horridays fell a bit frat after we attacked Pearl Harbour". Edited January 20, 2021 by Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Turboid hasn't changed his avatar, and that's because he still dreams of being an F16 jockey - and the model he constructed from foam and photographed for his avatar, still hangs from the ceiling of his man-cave, which is decorated with posters of Tom Cruise and other.........

Not many people know that the James Bond movie concept was developed by Turbo and Cappy over a long lunch in Cannes. They sat there in the shade of some Pecan trees sipping French wine, and Cappy said "look at that yacht down there; it must be over 50 feet long." "49 feet six" replied Turbo, but the point was made; you had to obscenely rich as Turbo knew from his succession of engine blow ups. He said "We could write a story about someone who was extremely rich, but greedy and used the yacht for smuggling. "What would he smuggle?" asked Cappy in one of those exasperating conversation stallers, but Tobo quickly said "Gold; he had a gold finger after the real one was chopped off in a knife fight" "that sounds like a movie to me" said Cappy, and Turbine Movies came up with a writer "Ian Fleming" who was really Loxie, and the rest is history. It was a hot dusty morning in Reno,; the last of the overnight gamblers had drifted off to bed, the old folks were pouring in to the Casinos for the 12" all you can eat ffive dollar breakfasts, and the first Keo draws had started for the day.

He had to figure out how to get something more attractive than a Model T Ford to get her in. It had to be a bright colour, go fast, have a luxurious, inviting interior, and it had to be LOUD! - because being LOUD was what every red-blooded Tasmanian male used as a female-attracting move. Accordingly, bull went and logged onto the "trade-a-plane" website, to see what he could get within his limited budget of funds and a Jackaroo trade-in (he'd already smashed open his three piggy banks and found $151.06 in them).
