Obviously I never served any of you in the Horse and Groom then. Baz

Good idea.If you dig a bigger pond you could put a bull shark in it. Herons ???? No more problem. Baz

Wow get a bigger tank Stan and fill the bugger up at that price..I paid $1.28 per litre last week.Now it's gone up to $1.48 in Wesern Sydney. We get ups and downs every week. Baz

Did you have tomato sauce with it ? Baz

They are also one of the most expensive supermarkets to shop at. Baz

I think you're spot on there Trev. Her eyes looked as if she was stoned out of her mind. If you knew the area she lived in you wouldn't be surprised though.There's more plantations in that area than you would believe unless you saw them. Baz

We had a dog named Pongo when I was a little lad.Dunno why he was called that but I can guess. Had many other dogs and cats over time.Our present resident is a moggie named Ellie.Should be Hellie because that's what she has given us since we got her two years ago from a pet rescue person. Wouldn't swap her though,she gives us lots of laughs. Baz

Well said Hamburger."There's no smoke without fire" ; There are a lot of greedy compensation seekers.On the other hand ther were(are)a lot of genuine females who were raped. There is absolutely NO excuse for rape. Baz

Woolworths is one of the biggest grocery and variety stores in Australia now John.( probably the biggest actually) They bought out Dick Smith but have now sold it to another company.Probably because it didn't make the millions of dollars that they thought it would make. Dick Smith now manufactures a yeast extract procuct to rival Vegemite,several conserves and peanut butter.All of these products are on the shelves of Woolworths supermarkets. Baz

I once went to Venus. I was amazed at all the naked bodies fornicating there. Hang on,sorry,it was the Venus adult shop in Sydney. I'll get me coat now. Baz

Here in Sydney we don't get free concessional travel but we do get it very cheap once you get to the old fart stage in life. We can purchase a daily ticket for $2.50 which entitles us to all day travel on buses,trains,ferries and the dreaded trams. Mind you,in the morning if it's school time you might have to fight for a seat with the little darlings.I nearly said little bastards but I'm sure some of them might not be. Baz

They're not pikelets they're crumpets. Pikelets are little pancakes. Baz

Been using W8 since last chrimbo. Greatest load of crap that I EVER came across. I'm seriously thinking of dumping it and installing W7. It's just not up to the easiness of my old XP2. Baz

When I worked as a barman in the Horse and Groom (1966)there was a big turnover in bitter especially. Stan,the landlord,was a stickler for keeping the pipes clean.I don't know how long the kegs were stored at the brewery but the beer was still shite. Shipo's....Bleaaaah ! I can still taste it Baz

Sunday arvo was the best time of the week for me when I was a young un. A chock ice in a large glass topped up with lemonade. Yuuuumoooo ! Baz

We couldn't afford toys when I was a kid so I just had to play with myself. Baz

Looking at how boxy it appears I can only guess that it might be a Singer. Baz

Wha ???? I think mine cost less than 50 pounds about 1958. Yes you're right about the Campag' gears. Mine just had the single chain wheel though with 5 sprockets on the back.Also had Mafac centre pull brakes. Baz

I just thought I recognised it because I had a Carlton myself. On further scrutiny the handlebar stem and extension is different too. Baz

Rog,please correct me if I'm wrong but I think I recognise the bike frame (I'm looking at the shape of the lugs)as a Carlton Catalina from the late fifties. Baz

Were we the only ones to have the pink parrafin delivered ?.....mid 60s Maybe it was because we were posh living in WB Baz

Has anyone else noticed that after one of these G20 meetings occurs the global stock market goes down the shitter. Call me a cynic but I think there is a lot more to it than we are led to believe. I just wish it could be proved that governments are manipulating the markets for their own benefits. Maybe this is why Julian Assange is in the crosshairs. Baz

Still Darby to me Trev. Baz
