Satsuma Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Thanksgiving : I work in a private gentleman's club in Australia and we had 143 members and guests celebrating Thanksgiving at dinner here last night. America conquers the world! Keep well everybody! Satsuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter3 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Interesting! These were Aussies celebrating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satsuma Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hi Dieter! They were all Aussies to the last. Go figure. I hope they were respecting this honorable America institution and weren't just looking for any excuse to party. Certainly, either way, a good time was had by all. And now it's Christmas... Keep well Satsuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satsuma Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Good on ya mate! Keep well and I look forward to learning a lot more about our shared interests in the new year. In the meantime, I was watching some Imperial Japanese Navy footage on You Tube and noticed two drill movements I never saw before - both related, I guess, to minimising the chance of losing one's balance when one's ship is steaming on high seas. If you're interested : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RaUdub_djU I trained in Australia's navy reserve and this training is traditionally similar to what is taught in the Royal Navy. We never learned these moves. Now, many IJN traditions have been taken from the traditions of the RN. Therefore, I'm thinking these two drill steps/positions are unique to the IJN. One, (midshipmen?) is at the 22 second mark. Two, (NCO's?) is at the 1 minute 37 second mark. Last, I apologise if this is not the best location on the club site to offer this observation. Anyway, please forgive me if this is the case. 2010. Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
