OMG no. I was paid double on Sundays, and Public Holidays and 1.5 on Saturdays after 3 hours work. Also on public holidays the boss would throw us $50 cash for turning up. Though this was an eon ago.

Bottleshops are a good gig, I paid my way through Uni working one in Brisbane 25 years ago.

What's the scariest thing that has ever happened to you? Ever been held up yet? And how often do people ask for a cold slab at hot prices?

hmong ;) mong has some negative connotations.

I understand what you mean. My grandfather had what I thought to be a fairly rare name. It was similar to Jones Jones, and he fought in the Australian Army (smaller country by far).

So I searched Jones Jones and there was a page full of them. No worries I thought, cause I knew his middle name. Nope there was 4 of them!!! (Though I did narrow the field later by other means).

I can only imagine how hard it would be in a larger army.

As an Australian our history "slant" with MacArthur is probably told very differently to what's taught in the US. I wouldn't call him a hero at all, more of a pathological liar.
