How to get fired.
« on: April 25, 2015, 05:26:33 AM »

Down in Australia it is our version of Memorial Day (Anzac Day.)  100 years since the tragic landings at Gallipoli that took some 56,000 allied lives, as well as a similar number of Turkish lives.

In Sydney it seems there were 30,000 people gathered in the city for a dawn memorial service when some bright spark decided to test a new nightclub sound system.  It seems the tester wouldn't take a hint and turn it down/turn it off.

Meanwhile on this side of the ditch, at the dawn Anzac service at the Waiouru army camp and military museum, during the playing of "The Last Post", the clowns of the local "Rebels" motorcycle gang decided it was a good time to crank up their Harleys and drown out the bugler. It seems that we both have villages which have mislaid their idiots.

I didn't notice who the sound provider was at my 'local' Canberra ceremony, but it was really excellent work.  They said the crowd here was 120,000.

There will always be assholes in the world, and those who show disrespect for those who died for our freedoms are at the top of my list. In the US we veterans may have kicked their collective asses based on principal. Sounds like it's time for you guys to send a message.
