Rather neat job they did of trapping that German ship. Rather short work they made of it when it ran for it to.

You're father was in that, eh? Famous battle, that one.

The way I'd put it is the Kiwis USED TO BE stand up guys. The last several decades they've reminded me of the frogs.

Our fathers were very careless to put our lives at risk like that. They should have at least waited until we were born before going off on such dangerous pursuits, putting the family jewels at risk.

The pay wasn't great, and look at the thanks over the last few decades. With friends like Lazarus who needs enemies?
