  1. Credit where credit is due: W2DR posted that one I merely made an appropriate comment - but thanks for the kind thought Ken
  2. Many Happy Returns Mate! I dips me lid to your seniority have a good'un!
  3. At my age and in my condition I can't shoot or fight as I have done before and war would have to come to my door - but I could still make various things such as Molotov cocktails if someone else could throw them .....
  4. Sad days for Australian Cricket - yesterday the legendary Rod Marsh who at least had a decent innings at 74 YOA - today the marvelous Shane Warne at only 52 who was still contributing so much to the game and was in the midst of giving us another great commentator to rival the legendary Richie Benaud. Perhaps in future matches we will see groups of Warnies along with the Ritchies in the crowds
  5. Many Happy Returns to you both and have a good'un
  6. I am safe here in Brighton which becomes an island in the floods, just a bit of flooding in the back yard of my sloping block caused by backed up storm-water drains and high tides in Moreton Bay. The adjacent Pine River never floods seriously for some reason. However the Brisbane River to my SE about 8 miles is a different story and my youngest son who lives with me could not get to work at Eagle Farm for a couple of days. Many of our friends in the inner city suburbs and upstream suburbs had to evacuate. One of my nephews is a Jetstar Captain and he had the so far unique experience, after landing his aircraft at Brisbane Airport, of being towed off the runway to his parking position - the runways were the only areas that were not under water!
  7. Cajun - loved it since the early 1950s - so many artists over the years have done covers including Hank Williams for starters.
  8. Papua New Guinea - a wonderful 25 years and 9 months there 1950-75
  9. Many Happy Returns to one of the most proliferous contributors to our hobby since it's beginning!

  11. Yes mate they have a website and a FB page and are still releasing compilations, remasters and DVDs - all signed as well! Marvelous people!
  12. And a late Many Happy Returns from me Gents! Hope you all had a good'un.
  13. None of the above ..... I'm not game to look in the mirror or analyze/assess myself
  14. The first cat I ever took home for myself at age 6 was a small kitten who looked like Tom from the Tom and Jerry cartoons - we had several adult cats that Mum and Dad were allowed to manage and Tom fitted right in there. However, the joke was on me as several months later "Tom" produced a fine litter of variegated kittens! So she became Thomasina on my mother's suggestion although my father unkindly suggested she should be called Tart .....
  15. The Oz video is pretty close to the truth in some country areas (I used to drink OLD and NEW by preference) as for Pabst BR never had the pleasure but look forward to it someday
  16. Performing music when able and writing same when the muse attacks (only about 12 times in 60+ years) also enjoy fiddling in the garden mainly with trees and bushes 'cos I can't do ground work anymore
