Australian Customs and Border Patrol GST assessing officer of imports.

Expect writs in the mail with demands to pay GST on low-value imports very soon...I have been watching and taking notes.

Nothing, nada, retired from that madness. Plenty of time to sit out in the observatory whenever I fancy, sleep during the day.

Well ... how about that! I retired 4 years ago and ended up with the same specialisation. What’s your favourite shovel?

I retired with 20,000 hours as a pilot...but I guess I'm an "honorary" flight engineer....as QF gave me a restricted flight engineer endorsement on the B747.

The proper engineers, to a man, on the B747, always knew where the beer was cold, food was excellent and were accepting of ladies with interesting faces...bless 'em.
