(04:58):
Natalie Common and Natalie, my mum is in her own words,
a very strong, devout Christian. And on both occasions she
has run out of petrol. She's been on a hill
of sorts and rolled into a petrol station at the
bottom of the hill. She always says, the Lord works
in mysterious ways. I just say it's dumb luck. I
love that, Natalie Christian. Many years ago, my husband used
(05:19):
to run out of petrol all the time. How can
you do this all the time? One occasion, he ran
out of petrol the end of the freeway. He wondered
about three hundred meters away to a servo with a
Jerry can. I waited patient in the car. I happened
to look in the rear visionary and a notice that
behind us very long cue. Right behind us there was
a funeral procession in the hers. There was only one
(05:42):
exit lane, and nowhere to go. I was so mortified.
I slid down in my seat and waited until my
now ex husbands broke up in that car. He just left.
I could see he was just having a lovely long
chat to the servo attendant. No rush whatsoever. The funeral
directors were waving their hands around all over the place
(06:03):
and booping their horns. I don't think they're allowed to
beat their horns. I don't know if you. I've never
forgotten the shame. That's from Michelle b Anchor. Good morning,
good morning, Good morning, be anchored, so running out of fuel.

go out on the bay. Wonderful launch the boat cruising along.
All of a sudden they had a fuel The boat stopped.
We had to paddle into shore. Finally made it to shore,
missed all the rocks at the end of Oliver's Hill.
They're on the point. I had to jump out with
the fuel tank, walk up the hill and walk into
(06:38):
a school as to use the phone so that my
little brother could come and get me so I could
get more fuel.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
So where do you go to get more fuel if
the boat's run out?

paddle like crazy to get to shore.
