tonyc1 Report post Posted May 10, 2008 I know it's nothing to do with leather but we have a US carrier in port for the weekend. We have the USS Tarawa's crew in town and I think there will be a lot of happy girls around as well as business houses as it is estimated they'll spend $ 6 million in the state. Tony.

Ian Report post Posted May 10, 2008 A little news story from Sydney a while ago. The local madams had petitioned the US Navy to stagger the arrival of ships. Claimed the girls were threatening to strike having to work so many 18 hour days in a row. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it was in our paper that interstate "Ladies" were flying in to bolster the number of girls available here locally! The ship doesn't leave 'til Tuesday and then the "Ladies" will need some R & R to recover and go to the bank. Tony. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
