Alf should have been nowhere near vietnam, they were lied to, sent to horrible war, and if lucky to come back in one piece they're scarred for life. For the Vietnamese South?? It's like the kids get scolded for pointing out the politicians lied to you and used your dead friends and "patriiotism" as an infallible shield of criticism for why these wars were happening "Mistakes made, Lessons learned" When??? Never
War's no joke. Just because you may not know anyone who's survived or died in war doesn't mean you shouldn't take at least one minute to remember them They died to protect us, and if not for them, who knows what this country would he like now
I'm pretty sure i've heard alf tell this story once before to robbie, tasha, cassie, matilda and ric when they had a episode of home and away to do with anzac day
Flamin' heck, where else was he ever going to go? Moving a whole dungeon full of cages is no easy task ya flamin' galah, especially once Ivan got himself locked up for life.
MR DONALD FISHER, THE HEADMASTER: "Now get out of here before I make it 2000!" Well, it was the year 2000 exactly two years after this episode went to air in 1998.
The bit where Sally Fletcher aka Kate Ritchie gives a kiss to Vinnie, in Vinnie's dream was so funny, I'm sure Vinnie had wet dreams about Sally Fletcher, maybe the guy who play Vinnie had a wet dream about Kate Ritchie also. I think i seen this on ITV Westcountry in south west england. I think i remember that dream
If only the truth was told. Wars Australia have entered have been to support foreign empires not to protect freedoms of future generations of Australia. Australia has never been under direct threat. Yes Japan was threat but that came about with Australia entering WW2 on British / American side.
Ummm, no that is categorically incorrect. In WW2, aggressively expansionist Japan opportunistically attacked the US and UK turning a predominantly European conflict into a global one. Australia was a member of the Commonwealth of nations in part established as a mutual defence treaty and therefore had obligations to assist its fellow treaty partners, this indeed is how a mutual defence treaty works both in terms of its primary function of deterrence and then multilateral action if deterrence fails. Since WW2 Australia fought in Korea as part of the UN mandated force to resist the communist invasion of South Korea, again this was fulfilling a treaty obligation as a founding member State of the United Nations. In Viet Nam Australia rendered assistance to the Government of South Viet Nam at its formal request as member of the ANZUS alliance to resist the North Viet Namese invasion of the Sovereign State of South Viet Nam. Your demonstrated knowledge of geopolitics and history is disturbingly deficient. You substitute an arrogant revisionist view of history to conceal your own ignorance by adopting a view of these actions that is wholly informed by hindsight rather than a rational view of the situation that existed at the time these decisions were made and in the majority of instances Australia honoured its treaty obligations. Nobody has the right to opt out of a deal when it comes time to meet their end of the bargain, doing that is a typically post-modernist, woke and despicably selfish way of behaving. Grow up and stop insulting the sacrifices that other generations made to afford you the lifestyle and choices you have today, your smug, faux-superior and nauseatingly self-indulgent attitude is utterly despicable.
@@harryricochet8134 interesting. I think you are wrong. Military obligations required Australia to help defend parter country if it is directly attacked. It does not require Australia to join the U.S or U.K in theatres of conflict. I will ask the question. Where was the threat to Australia after Gavrilo Princip assassinated Franz Ferdinand?
Alf also remembered his time in Vietnam and seeing him tear up and seeing that brought a tear to my eye too

"Mistakes made, Lessons learned"
When??? Never
Alf is a true Aussie bloke
Gotta love him
I was firmly watching every night after school by this point
I remember this, I think it got aired in the UK roughly around that time.
And I am firmly on Don's side! I was back then too at 14
I dont think anyone would be on Sam's side. He's a little jerk here. He learns his lesson though which is good.
Sam was such an obnoxious brat for a while. And Hayley was pretty bitchy.
War's no joke. Just because you may not know anyone who's survived or died in war doesn't mean you shouldn't take at least one minute to remember them
They died to protect us, and if not for them, who knows what this country would he like now
3:12am in the UK. Here I am again after a beer session.
Least we forget.
Great upload. Thank you for these
Sam was so cute
My sister fancied him
I really enjoyed this clip! I hope Hayley helped Sam with the cleaning.
She joined him but didnt help much just talked with him
Poor Alf, bless him. Can't believe Hayley and Sam were so disrespectful. Not like them tbh.
Also, Sam is still pretty high-pitched here, wouldn't be til the following year or so til his voice cracked
Sam is a girl
I find it funny because there was only a few months age difference between Zac Drayson (Will) and Ryan Clark (Sam), but Zac sounded so much older.
I'm pretty sure i've heard alf tell this story once before to robbie, tasha, cassie, matilda and ric when they had a episode of home and away to do with anzac day
There was one with Matt, Evie, Maddie etc too. They were brats about it then as well.
@@helenfox7766 oh yeah totally forgot about that one
Alf and Don were right to pull Sam and Hayley up, if we were invaded they wouldn't have the freedom to play basketball or have an opinion
invaded by a poor country like Vietnam? I love this invade lest you get invaded argument.
@@MVK123 'Invade lest you get invaded' argument? Said nobody ever. Imbecile.
@@harryricochet8134 You're definitely someone who gets easily butt hurt.
Stone the flaming crows good old Alf still in the bay telling the flaming kids how it is
Alf rocks
Alf Stewart is a god
Flamin' heck, where else was he ever going to go? Moving a whole dungeon full of cages is no easy task ya flamin' galah, especially once Ivan got himself locked up for life.
Alf is a legend 👍 served
His nation and ran summer bay with a iron ✊Fist

Its a shame they cancelled the Anzac match and allowed other things to continue like sporting events BLM protesters a disgrace actually

Forgot what a annoying prat Vinnie was lol 😂
My grandmother wanted to write to the producers to get rid of him, Vinnie was one of my least favourite characters.
Sam was worse on here
God Vinnie was annoying

And who'd we go support at Golipoli? Aside from the British perhaps? People don't usually enter war unless a threat is present
