Yeah, rose bushes, on the Admirals front lawn, in Pearl City, Hawaii.

Suffering from Gyroscopic instability, and geographic embarressment,

(I was drunk and lost) I curled up for a restful nap.

Awoke to the startled remarks of a nice lady the next morning, apologized, explained the situation, and asked for directions to Pearl Harbour.
Instead, I got breakfast with the Admiral, and a ride to work in the USN Staff car. Nice folks they were.
My Admiral was not so, amicable. Did not see as much humour in it, as the US Admiral.
You see, I was a lowly, able-seaman,"fraternising", with Flag Officers?
Not by QR and AI. That is, fraternisation is forbidden under,
"Queen's Regulations and Admiralty Instructions for the maintenance of good order and discipline aboard Her Majesties Ships and Establishments".
And if you think the title weighs a bit, just wait till the "Joss" ( Navy slang for the Master at Arms, the captains policeman) throws his book at you.

In trouble again, only ever the depth that varied.

Now for the local news. For the gearheads mainly.

This weekend the "Great Race" is run. The annual Bathurst 1,000 kilometre endurance race for Supercar V8's. Today (saturday) is practice and qualifying. Tomorrow the race starts at about 1030 AEST. Broadcast by the Seven Network Australia, from 0630 AEST, out to the world via affiliated internationals.

Try www.yahoo7.com.au or here http://au.sports.yahoo.com/v8-supercars/ if interested, or try here http://www.v8supercar.com.au/ that is the home site for the series.
If you follow Nascar, Marcus Ambrose is our boy. He moved over to the states after holding the V8 title here for a couple of years and wanted to extend himself.
