Tell that to my back Mick, it's giving me hell from an injury I sustained many years back
-
Holy crap, and I thought we were bad

I'm sure those eyes in needles are twice as small

Stops your car getting broken into and stolen if you put one of them joke turds on your seat when you leave the car! What self respecting thief would want a car with a turd on the drivers seat?

Can't run as fast.
Don't get it as often.
Hangovers are ten times as bad.
Haven't seen me willy in years...Men only!
Getting out of bed several times in the night for a pee.
Can never remember where we put our glasses.
Reading a book is like plying the trombone.
Any more???

Real tearaways we were Den, until we got caught

As an apprentice we would travel in a group in a mates car to Tech or training centre, when we passed an old bloke on a cycle, we'd roll the windows down and shout, "ayup George" poor old feller would wobble about wondering who the hell it was...

I know this was stupid, but at the time we were just stupid kids who didn't think.
Like stringing a length of wire across a street between lamp posts and wait for the next unsuspecting cyclist or bikie to come along :o

Ghost knocking was a fav! with a twist if the person in the house was nasty! like getting a paper bag, filling it with dog poop, setting it on the doorstep to be ghost knocked, then set fire to it after a good rap on the door
We'd hide within eyeshot, and watch the unsuspecting person stomp out the flames with their carpet slippers.....OOOO nasty, weren't we :D :D :D

Well, what was the worst things you did up all them old terraced houses to terrorise the neighbours

That's right, Caz!
Since November I've taken it back to the dealer for 4 different faults. The car is cr*p and MG Rover doesn't deserve saving!
Bob, in 1985 or there abouts I bought my second new car, it was a Suburu station waggon made in Japan. The car was the quietest car I've ever driven! Electric windows, central door locking, power steering 4wd, high lo range. Fantastic little car! Warrenty ran out, and was getting ready for a long trip, so checked the spark plugs, changed the air and oil filter, did an oil change etc etc. Started the car up and it miss fired and sounded like a big end bearing had gone!
I "limped" into the local dealership and saw the boss there and said it sounded like a big end had gone.
I left it with him and he called me at home to come and pick it up a couple of hours later. Car sounded good, when I asked what he had found, he said nothing! Recommended another oil change and filter change to see iff anything was in the oil, nothing found. He told me he had contacted Suburu Australia who told him they had never heard anything to match this problem. They also said to inform me to drive it normally, IF the engine crapped itself, I was to get the car to a dealer and they would change out the engine FREE OF CHARGE, on condition that they could keep the damaged engine for further investigation!
Not bad to say the car was out of warrenty!
We bought a Suburu station waggon in 1989 here in the States and all that had to be done on it was side windows replaced and window rollers replace as they "etched" the windows.. Great cars!

nooo I forgot all about that, I really must one day when we aren't in so much of a rush. We go to Omeo about once a month we have machines in the Hilltop Hotel do you know it?? What's your Surname?? Don't want to drop in there & introduce myself then can't remember your name!!
All you need to remember is John in Missouri, Howard and Chris will know right away :D :D :D
You can taste their delicious wines in the tasting room and maybe buy a couple of crates :D :D :D :D :D

Went to Omeo last week, it's very dry & brown, we really need some rain over here. This part of the country is changing weather wise, well it has this year, been very humid,we had a late summer & we just can't seem to get rid of it. Not too long until the Ski season, be interesting to see what it's going to be like. I should send a pic of the trees outside our house, they think it's Autumn & are shedding their leaves rapidly, but today was quite warm again. Strange very strange.
You were in Omeo and didn't drop down the road to Cassilus and visit my Cousins?? :o
-
Yeah you still hear it but it's a bit old hat nowadays. Usually used by the larrikin sort of a bloke well at least they think they are larrikins <_<
Hows the weather over there Ayup ?? It's absolutely bliss over this end, we are having the warmest Autumn, i'm sweating & only just raked a few leaves up!!
Pitmen are alus larrikins Caz :D :D :D
Not a bad spring so far, we are in tornado season, as of yet we haven't had any severe thunderstorms....touch wood!

A set of studio musicians called the Funk Brothers. They were on every Mo Town track from Marvin Gaye to the Supreme's, Temptations to Otis Redding!! There were a couple of white musicians the rest were black, I believe two passed on to the great band in the sky...

What! no one going to have a go at answering the question?

That ski lift was gone when I started at Clifton Barnzey. I started there in 1964 and I think it was taken out a couple of years before then. Trev Shaw, who is a few years older than me and who's Dad and Uncle worked at Clifton as Electricians remembers it from his trips down there.
It ran from no2 pit bottom down the South Main Returns drift.
BTW, don't know if anyone remembers the Shaws??? I think there are seven of them, all lived in the Meadows, Wilford Road end.
Trev and a Brother live in Canada now, all the others still live in Nottingham, I'm in touch with Trev and "Dicko" keeps in touch with most of the others.
