Charles Joughin, the chief baker on the Titanic, survived the sinking by allegedly consuming large amounts of whiskey before plunging into the icy water.

@BastonBorders Enjoying your book while having lunch in the park next to Sydney Harbour. A port is a border zone too?

[Richard Hurford @Hurf41]

@MichaelSmyth_ Hey Michael, can you follow back so I can DM to ask a question about 1986 Jubilee 150?

@TimHarcourt @BobNeil_130 @NorthAdelaideFC @ratherbeatlunch @swishtter Who would think the funniest, most entertaining (and memorable) course at uni would be Accounting 1?

"Double-entry book keeping was invented in the Middle Ages by a Venetian monk named Grenville Dietrich!"
🤣🤣🤣

Great educator. Will be missed.

@MichaelSmyth_ @AdelaideFesCent @MichaelSmyth_ @BernardCarney4 Big Sis Alex tell me Chris and Lorna were there. She went to a production two weeks later.

@DominicVillaSC @CampbellRhodes @AntonyGreenElec @CanberraInsider @MoAD_Canberra My recollection as well re QLD. So presume printing of HoR Division name on ballot (as opposed to a uniform form of state ballot), was printing convenience and security, tracking, chain of custody etc purposes

[Richard Hurford @Hurf41]

@CampbellRhodes @AntonyGreenElec @CanberraInsider @MoAD_Canberra Thanks! So still a single Statewide electorate.

[Richard Hurford @Hurf41]

@AntonyGreenElec @CanberraInsider Why is it a "Senate ballot paper - Electoral Division of Parramatta"? Wasn't it a single statewide senate electorate? Or was it just that each divisional returning officer printed their own ballot papers - Senate and HoR?

[Richard Hurford @Hurf41]

@DominicVillaSC Happy Birthday Dom!

[Richard Hurford @Hurf41]

Some great stories, sailing with Bligh, Napoleonic battle, exploration, the cordial meeting with French explorer Baudin, arrested as a spy by the French.

@TheRestHistory Inspired by @holland_tom, I did a City of Sydney walk at lunch and stopped by Matthew Flinders' statute at the NSW State Library. And more importantly the statute of Matthew Flinders' cat Trim

[Richard Hurford @Hurf41]

The Bodleian tells me that statues of Flinders and Trim also appear in Donington, Lincolnshire (the birthplace of Flinders), in Port Lincoln, South Australia and at Euston Station (near Flinders original grave), at Flinders University in Adelaide and Lincoln Cathedral.

Wow! Made if to Hamilton for my birthday!

[Richard Hurford @Hurf41]

A life well lived.

We said farewell to my father yesterday. Dad, you will be missed.
