Well – – – that was a rather exhausting exercise.
I like thinking out of the box.
Therefore I wish to thank my friends at VIFM for allowing me out of the box to do these posts.
I will definitely (well – – – possibly) close this out on the next post.
There will be a slide show of my family and friends.
That is, of course, if my friends at VIFM allow me – – – just one more spate of freedom.
I promise them that I will not get all emotional and fall apart.
These sick jokes sure do tickle my ribs.
I hope I don’t get laughing so hard that I fall off the table and bump my funny bone.
Of course I say all this with tongue in cheek. I really do want to get ahead.
Ned has left the building.
Oh no, it is over?!! If you made this into a book, I’d buy it. You have made this a very entertaining story.
NO! Not yet. The Victoria Institute of Forensic Medicine has promised me a field trip (but i talked them into two more trips). That is easy for them to do; no skin off their head!

With regards to your “Last Green of Summer”; Why does that rock have two little red beady eyes looking at me?
Hahaha…I didn’t even notice that. I like it.
I love your post. I don’t know if you’d like to add “some interesting people” to your list. In case you do – I grew up in Upington, South Africa (1951). One of our famous characters was (as mentioned in Wikipaedia) George St Leger Lennox (1845–1919) born into a noble Scottish family, popularly known as Scotty Smith. He was a South African bandit known as South Africa’s Robin Hood. He was well known as a cattle thief[2], lover (and thief[3] ) of horses, dealer in illegal diamonds, smuggler and friend of the poor.[1]
I will take a Scotty Smith. But at the present I have over 70 posts ready to go so it will be some time much later. I just read your “Death of a Viking” and I have to tell you I could not stop reading. Thanks for sharing. Wally
It was a very different kind of life back then, wasn’t it?
I am people of different backgrounds. Some of this seems to be a leftover of a difference between the Irish and the English carried over to Australian immigrants. However, they sure were violent (which we humans are trying to overcome; without much luck. Thank you very much for following my posts. I hope you enjoyed them as much as I had assembling them.
More wonderful ones~
Thanks for reading my posts. Nothing makes me more pleased. And thank you for your nice comments.
They should be remembered; May God bless their black little hearts!
Coming from Germany I never heard of Ned Kelly and what Wikipedia is saying is really not enough….thanks for ur great story…I mean, thanks Ned for talking to us 🙂
It is always my pleasure to talk to anyone who accepts me in my current condition. Some of my readers seem to think I am just skin and bones; however, just bones.
Thanks for stopping by. If you have an E-reader there is another version here:
