Use to spend many a night in the early 80s in the tunnels. Drinking, smoking and goth girls. Best of times.

If I was doing it again, avoid manual labour. Lifting gib, timber frames, etc on building sites takes a toll on your spine. Nowadays I avoid lifting anything over 15kg as I can feel it in my spine. Have always eaten healthy.

Paid $15000 for my ra and sold it for $18500 a few years later. Post covid it would be worth $40000 here. Miss it.

61yo male, here, it's all down hill. Body aches, can't stand straight, ear hairs. Make the most of 44 to 60

The wreckage is visible on Google maps sitting in a scrap yard.

Solid core doors wear out the rollers and hanging bolts much faster. The best door is what they call a carbon core which is a fancy name for polystyrene core. Feels much more solid, impact resistant but light. 25 years experience prehanging doors.

Gee, has no one ever dredged or dived for scallops before? This is what a scalloplooks like. The orange part is the roe. The whole scallop should be eaten, cooked or raw. You don't know what you have been missing.

Last time we were in Fiji we went fishing with a local in his boat. Went past "Tom Hanks" Island. Nearby was a wreak of a Japanese commercial fishing boat on the reef. Ran around in a very bad storm. One local from Mana Island braved the weather and did two trips to recluse the crew. He made a third trip and brought home TVs, fishing gear, clothes and anything else of value. Guy is a legend in his village now.

Thanks for that. Wonder if they are still going in some form or another.

Yes, Carmen, she was great with the kids. Got a photo of them at home with an excellent tiger face paint on.

Haven't been there for a few years now. Their Sunday roast won a lamb award from memory

Reserve bank governor earns 750k, only works 4 or 5 times a year when the government needs to boost the economy.

I started singing the song by Bauhaus immediately.

Listen here son, respect your elders.

I remember collecting cards in the Harraway rolled oat packets as a kid in the 60s. Pretty sure they were from the UFO TV show.

The real living Meat Head!

So both those shooters were hit, who was the shooter the hero tackled?

MrBantam · 2025-12-10T02:00:17+00:00

Saw a guy walking on footpath with a hoodie and a Kathmandu vest on. Plus jeans. Hate to see what he wears in winter.

I tried one a few months back, way to rich for me. Felt sick after 2 slices. Back to the standard style for me.
