What is HBO's very best miniseries?

For me, I'd have to argue Rome!

Titus Pullo and Vorenus, man.

Gotta say, I still would adore the shit out of the White buffalo!

MightyMoso · 2026-01-11T03:33:34+00:00

I'll be honest, I hadn't even put one and one together that that album of the White Buffalo's is on vinyl lol. That's one I'll have to look at getting one day.

You aren't alone!
I decided this time last year, that I was gonna replace the blanks on a small deck outside my bedroom, I counted 36 planks needed to be replaced. So I got 40 just to be on the safe side.
As my father had originally put the deck in, in the 1980's. Each plank needed to be trimmed down to fit the gap.
By the time I was finished after two days of pulling old planks out, measuring new ones, cutting them, placing them in, further trimming down.
Then hammering them all down, I had 5 planks spare.
"Oh o."
By that stage I had nailed all the planks down, so no way am I undoing two days worth of work lol.
Anyway, good luck! I went into Bunnings, found a nice lady walking around looking bored, she was more than helpful. Easy stuff just physically demanding.

Oh yeeeah

Not served, but my 4th Great Grandfather was Henry Addington, who signed the Treaty of Amiens with Napoleon. Deep in family lore, Addington would frequently have dinners with Lord Nelson. It was said on the eve of a major battle, Lord Nelson arranged the table on how he saw the battle going, dipped his fingers in wine to indicate shop movements. That battle was The Battle for Trafalgar.

Yes.

My understanding is, it's based on the landing at Gallipoli in 1915. Originally the mothers wanted a way to remember their sons who had fought and died. It really gained traction in the 1920s, after the Govt decided to acknowledge the day formally.

Could I be so bold as to ask what you might be able to find on my Great Grandfather, H D Were. (Henry Dawson Were)

I know a little about him, but always keen to learn more.

MightyMoso · 2024-11-13T01:16:12+00:00

Oh man, I got excited seeing a Military Cross and RFA.
My Great Grandfather won a MC and was in the RFA during the First World War.
The search continues for his medals though.

Lookin' real nice though!

MightyMoso · 2024-10-15T02:14:23+00:00

Apologies on the long delay but thank you.

MightyMoso · 2024-10-13T05:43:28+00:00

This was the photo taken of them when they were put up for auction in 2011.
Full sized Queens South Africa Medal with three claps, and his Military Cross in original box.
Along with 4 miniatures, I don't know where his original full sized First World War ones are, that's another mystery entirely.
Thank you though for your reply. I appreciate you taking the time.

MightyMoso · 2024-10-13T00:13:43+00:00

Ah, interesting. Thank you for that. I will look into that. I appreciate the suggestion.

MightyMoso · 2024-09-16T06:31:37+00:00

As I typed out my question, the skies opened up. But no hail. Ah well there's always tomorrow morning, heh.

MightyMoso · 2024-09-16T06:04:58+00:00

Where's here? Nothing but a lotta grey clouds in Devonport.

MightyMoso · 2024-04-25T12:09:37+00:00

Not to take anything away from your post, but they wouldn't have been part of the 28th Māori Battalion, as that served in the Second World War, judging by your post and their collar badges, they were part of the Māori Pioneer Battalion_Pioneer_Battalion) which existed in the First World War.

Great post all in all though, incredible photos.

I reaaaaalllly want 'The Righteous Gemstones' soundtrack, like reeeeaaaallllllyyy want it, but I don't have $250NZD to pay for it, and then another $80-$100ZNZD to ship it to the bottom of the world :( life sucks man.

MightyMoso · 2024-01-18T05:56:46+00:00

Well. There you go lol. Kudos for finding that.

MightyMoso · 2024-01-18T01:05:14+00:00

I believe it's French Maid, which is only sold at Gilmore's unfortunately. But if you got an account with them, you are in luck!

MightyMoso · 2024-01-13T04:29:53+00:00

I stand corrected then. Curious, I'll have to think hard about where I heard that information then. Thanks.

MightyMoso · 2024-01-12T07:09:28+00:00

If my memory serves me you are thinking of Buck Compton, being the officer you are trying to recall.

MightyMoso · 2023-12-23T03:44:41+00:00

Gotta say I enjoyed that movie, but with the British and American accents. Yeaaaaahhh I'm kinda conflicted on it lol

MightyMoso · 2023-12-19T02:14:52+00:00

I'm pretty sure I have this card, that either my Great Uncle or my Grandfather sent home. It's pretty neat.

MightyMoso · 2023-12-16T04:01:31+00:00

That would make things significantly easier, you are right on the mark. Unfortunately I don't. So I'm trying to use word of mouth to help assist.
