  1. In Flanders Field

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow

    Between the crosses, row on row,

    That mark our place; and in the sky

    The larks, still bravely singing, fly

    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the Dead.

    Short days ago We lived,

    felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

    Loved and were loved,

    and now we lie, In Flanders fields.

    Take up our quarrel with the foe:

    To you from failing hands we throw

    The torch; be yours to hold it high.

    If ye break faith with us who die

    We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

    In Flanders fields.

    Lt-Col John McCrae

    They will not grow old,

    as we that are left grow old.

    Age will not weary them

    nor the years condemn.

    At the going down of the sun

    and in the morning

    We will remember them

    LEST WE FORGET

  2. There is more to me than gluconeogenesis and suxamethonium

    I was taking the piss mate, never mind

    And yes I notice ASNSW have nice portable radios

    i know you were taking the puss kiwi...i think our radios suck as well

  3. True, but AK does things which do not bear his namesake very well like not hiring me as his business manager so mmm

    why would he.....a kiwi and business....oxymoron if i ever heard one.....

    didnt know you had qualifications as un basunass minugar kiwi

    and how do you know our protables dont work...besides you should not be able to hear then they suppose to be locked to scanners

  4. Just remember craig, Australia is just the West Island of New Zealand, the island we like to forget about most of the time ;)

    i know that celtic, thats why you all immigrate here, use our mint for your money, and take our cars etc......

    considering AA is a chick bru. ... '

    479 purtubul calls Sudney ...

    the s button didnt work.......

  5. Sorry, you are missing out on the truly classic Aussie experience....

    No Queensland and no Aussie Aid to show you around! :)

    Better bring me some Tim Tams and more Vegemite though, Mate. (Remember Double Chocolate and Turkish Delight Tim Tams, please!)

    just as well he isnt going to Qld if HE has to bring the vegimite and the tim tams......i know you guys are behind the times, but you do know that those items are Australian dont you?

  6. Craig, with note that you're in NSW, is the "Holden" an Australia "local" brand? I don't recall hearing of this type car prior to now.

    Holden is the local GM brand....Holden was a coach builder back in the 30's and 40's teamed with GM to produce thr first 'Australian" car

    think of the latest pontiac firbirds the two door ones they realeased in the mid 2000's. it is based on the australian holden commodre monaro......but ours are better, they had to dumb them down and add sillky things for the us market...ie that stupid twin grille nose cone

  7. *sniff sniff* no visit to NZ :(

    he said he wasn't going to the furtherest Aussie states....what more do you want......

    i know mate, ain't he a prick, even after we hired that exotic man dancer for him ...

    isnt that a 'ent hi e pruck, ovan efter we hered thut uxotuc duncer fer hum......'

    Be careful in dubbo mate, its like detroit after dark ;)

    coming from a person that didnt go out at night when he was at uni at bathurst........ahhh bushy.....

  8. Tell me how, when, where...PM me a phone number.

    Dubbo is home of a former employee turned friend...he just holidayed in the States and I hosted him, now time to return favor!

    hahaha....I tought that it may have been a common friend as I have a few in Dubbo that are in the job

    let me know you itinerary and i can work out times etc...

  9. Lets see............

    No. 1 was a 1963 volkswagon station wagon

    then there was the toyota corolla liftback around a late 70's model

    followed by the (i think) the 1980's ford falcom XD s pack with manual transmission)

    after that came my late 80's Holden VL commodore 5 speed

    then my toyota Hilux petrol 4X4

    then my first Nissan patrol wagon (petrol dx model) (written off by a truck that ran thru a stop sign)

    followed by mu Nissan GU Patrol wagon diesel turbo 5 speed ( again written off when it was smashed into by a drunk drive as it was parked in the street)

    and my current drive is a 2005 Kia Sorento EX 3 litre petrol manual

    that list doesn't count the cars that my wife has owned in the time we have been together either.......

    looking to get a new one this year though...................

  10. lets see.........

    - dislocated knee

    - unable to gain mobility due to it

    - baby strapped in high chair

    - at home alone

    - husband comes and cannot do anything to assist

    - knee still dislocated

    - hospitalisation required to relocat kneecap

    - no pain relief avaiable at scene

    SO WHERE DOES THIS NOT QUALIFY AS AN EMERGENCY

    you required assistance and it was medical assistance that was needed. in most normal people's book that is an emergency.

    it wasnt like you had a splinter in your finger and didn't want to drive yourself to the doctor.......

    tell your friend she is talking out her A$$..........

  11. as Sean Connery said in the Indana jones and the Last Crusade.......

    "let it go Indy....just let it go...."

    what good will it do now to make a deal of it?

    * Firstly you didnt take the original BP, you were told it was 220 sys

    * You were doing what was requested of you by a RN and Doctor

    * You are not responsible for the percieved inadequacies of other staff and the wat they treat the patient in thier job.

    * if you do make a deal out of this, what will the working relationship between you and your unit and the ER staff ad the ER end up being?

    with all this in mind, what do you hope to be the correct outcome if you make a complaint? will it make the way either you or your unit work different? Do you hope that the ER will then have to do what ever you guys tell them?

    If it is after the fact (I assume it has been a little time since the incident) it would be better to let sleeping dogs lie, but document it to you manager, for reference if something like this happens again

  12. question mark was left of the o2 line kiwi

    however it is chest pain, with out any know cause as yet so it is not a 'general treatment' as yet

    and we do not have any vitals as yet so how do we know if the pt has any tachypnea? he has SOB. I can be SOB and breathing at 12 - 16 resps/ min

  13. Oh dear, what did the Gynae say about that one? :D

    dont care about what they gynaie said, what did her lecturer say about having a baby in the 1st semester of the 2nd year? bet that was a class that would have had some type of class participation in it......

    Welcome to our new person, watch out for the Kiwi, keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times, no flash photography, batteries not included, limit one per customer, no purchase necessary, not valid on Sunday ...

    Kiwi defies all logical understanding of the space time continuum, laws of physics as well as known and experimental science and religion.

    It is best to just not pay attention to it or the funny words it says like:

    - Bugger

    - Bloke

    - Scrote

    - Ambo

    - Resus

    - Adrenaline

    - Drip

    - Suxamethonium

    - Nunngered

    - Bikkies

    - Cuppa

    - Shav

    - Squiz

    - Consultant Physician

    - House Officer / House Surgeon

    - Registrar

    awww you talk funny?
