    Well back to Capt Kong in the Wars, and yes he sure has been through a lot in his Life@
    Yesterday i received a Video Disc from him, and i have just Played it on my Computer!

    It relates to his story that Capt Posts each Year on the same day, of the Tragedy of his Friend Ken, and the near miss he also had when nearly drowning!

    It goes on to tell in the BBC interview of what had actually happened, a Story that is clearly one that must certainly have been done. Something of importance and a very Emotional i must admit!

    But with such a lovely ending , where the Lad (David) that saved him from the Drowning appears to his amazement! What a Story , what a Bloke!! Viva la Capt Kong!

    Thank you my dear Friend, and i am so glad that the Disc arrived be it taking so long!
    Not at all your Fault!

    If you have not already read this account, then dont, i say DONT miss it, its one in a Million!
    Cheers

    Hi Vernon,
    many thanks for letting me know you have received my DVD of the BBC, TV show
    can you play it on the site so the lads can see it?

    The Royal Mail , Air Mail to Australia took 37 days, a bit better than last time, it took EIGHT WEEKS#
    The Cutty Sark could have delivered it quicker by sea mail.
    Hope it is OK for you.
    Cheers
    Brian

    The brOken knee is very painful, Tempted to go on the whisky , but not on the `FRIDAY 13.

    Hi Vernon,
    many thanks for letting me know you have received my DVD of the BBC, TV show
    can you play it on the site so the lads can see it?


    Hi Capt
    I will have a look and see if it is possible at all, it will have to be Converted to YouTube though , as the site will not accept other fomat types.

    As it is i had to use Prism Video Convertor to be able to View the Disc, it was an Automatic Download and Free thank goodness, so that was good. But as said now will have to see to get it on YouTube Format.

    So not sure as yet if or when i can do this, but will for sure try!

    Keep Safe and stay away from Open Windows LOL
    Cheers

    Hi Brian.
    You may not have followed my advice but I bowed to the moon for you, you will now have a full year clear of accidents.

    Cheers Des

    #29 Is that a slip of the pen Des, should that no be bayed at the moon rather than bowed ? JS
