Guest Guest Posted March 7, 2016 G'Day all. I Hope that the other Australians on the forum will agree with me when I say (write) that remaining Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels of WWII should be recognized on this thread. Most of the Britishers probably don't know what I'm on about so here is a link here to help explain it. They contributed to the Australian war effort in the South Pacific in a crucial way helping to halt the Japanese overland invasion Of P.N.G. A fact which has only recently been acknowledged by the government as of April this year. Old news I know but I'm rarely up to date at the best of times!. The oldest surviving Fuzzy Wuzzy Angel is Oviri Ondeki (102) Last alleged one has died http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-03-07/fuzzy-wuzzy-angel-faole-bokoi-dies/7226102 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Faole Bokoi" is a funny fucking way to spell Oviri Ondeski. 2. Funny, the linked article re: Bokoi never mentions Bokoi's age.....anywhere. Very queer. 3. I click-baited that link expecting to see Ondeski and I was loading up for bear to yell 'bullshit' when it said he was 109 years old. Do you people have any idea how hard it is to get pre-worked up into a lather only to be so disappointed? Prolly not, it's a thing reserved for us argumentative assholes.
