Morning all
This one is OT but - I'm going to
Adelaide early in May to collect my Trak Shak and I am hoping to find a bloke who was in the RAAF at Williamtown near
Newcastle NSW with me way back in the early 1970's. He and I and another bloke rented a house at 95 Barton Street Mayfield. I'm hoping someone from
Adelaide might know him or at least know of him- long shot but there's no harm in trying. His name is Bill Hackett, he'd be about mid to late 50's and has a pommy/scots accent.
Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
PS have added a couple of
pic's to my members page stuff. From Ireland in 2005. I will post more in there soon.

pommy/scots accent?
Now come on mate. Has to be one or the other.
They are as distinct as chalk and cheese.
A Scotsman would give you a "Glasgow Kiss" if you accused him of sounding like a Pom:-)))

Geez Sandman - it's been more than a few years since Bill and I saw each other - and my memory is a bit fuzzy - lets just say he had an accent that was from the old country/ies and definately not an accent from Oz
and I spose a glasgow kiss is similar to a liverpool kiss LOL

A Glasgow Kiss starts when you slam your forehead into your opponent's nose.
You shouldn't have said "don't tell me"

We were in
Broome on our way back to
Darwin for the navigators wedding. It was his last night ashore single so the officers took him out to dinner. We left him in the safe hands of the executive officer (now member Matt M) to get him back on board, but he decided to pick a fight with a little scotsman at a servo on the way to the ship. (I think he took offence to the guys hat).
Matt was saying "no, no, don't do it, he is a scotsman."
The nav got married 2 days later with 2 black eyes!
