Later on the surprisingly attractive "interior decorator" shows up in a high maintenance get-up with knee-high leather boots and a $90,000 Mercedes coupe. That alone makes me nervous.


My practice makes it much easier to compensate for these events .. I just pull a couple of more shifts ... I assume this requires a few more office visits ..


Sure, but I'm not really sure I enjoy working on weekends.

*****05:20, June 7, 1943(c), Northwest Veranda, Palace of the Sultan, Brunei****



Sultan: <a large explosion lights up the harbor> OHHHHHHH! SPLENDID! <begins clapping as does the court, many of who are in their PJ's>

Minister, where is my oil minister?

Swarthy, unctious fellow with gay-looking beard, well, you know, trimmed too carefully: Yes, your Majesty?

Sultan: Oh, I just wanted to make sure we got paid first, right?
Where was Brunei going to spend the Southern Development Bank Notes they got from the Japanese? The residents of the Philippines referred to them as Mickey Mouse Money.

Quite.

Actually, the boards are having problems. There is a wandering Moose around here also having issues. It might be time to Chrome up your PC.

Or go back to blaming the nefarious liberal left. Whichever is easier

I am testing a post from Chrome right now and yes Chrome works as expected. I am thinking that the latest version of IE 11 -- that was forced upgraded by the way ... it what is responsible for the Cap's observed posting behavior .... It might be time for the Cap to Chrome up as you say ...

We might have to conclude that the Sultan might not be the sharpest tool in the shed.

Here is what they looked like for Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak and Brunei (they were called "banana notes" ). Even worse for the Sultan, they aren't of value even as toilet paper.

It's just the conning tower. She was broken up in 1961.

She spent the time between August 1944 and August 1945 with the Eastern Fleet, where she had an eventful career. She sank the Japanese army cargo ship Sugi Maru No.5 (the former Panamanian flagged, Norwegian owned Gran), twenty five Japanese sailing vessels, the Japanese trawler Matsujima Maru No.3, four Japanese coasters, including the Nippon Maru No.19, Nanyo Maru No. 17 and Nippon Maru No.14, a small Japanese tanker, five small unidentified Japanese vessels, ten small Japanese landing craft, three Japanese barges and a derelict wreck drifting in the Straits of Malacca, described as probably a coaster.

In an HR department here you are likely to find a bunch of cubicles with middle-aged women, a portable video player and a bunch sexual harrassment how not to videos.

I have NEVER seen an AA gun or any pieces of artillery at an HR department here.
