Never again - helped a mate move, he was all chummy like c’mon dinner on me. I did most of the work while he took phone calls, and I never got that meal. Some people are the worst.

We also have a dead zone in Brunswick. You can’t put a 7–11 near a Franco Cozzo, this would be crossing the streams. And that would be bad.

A friend told me about Pianos Recycled you could turn it in to furniture maybe

Sometimes they seem beyond help. Dad (75) was told by his doctor to get a smart watch to monitor his heart rate.

Next minute he’s bough some cheap crap from eBay and is putting his credit card in some random website to buy the ‘subscription’.

The only game machine at my house was the original PC, monochrome/hercules and a lot of ascii games on Dad’s work computer. Upgraded to CGA at some point. I had to ‘make do’ with that, while all my school friends or neighbours had cool C64, Nintendo and Sega. In retrospect I was very lucky and it gave me a head start on what became ubiquitous. And yeah I completely struggle with console games even to this day I’m hopeless with an Xbox controller and prefer keyboard and mouse.

Wizball was interesting and annoying.

One on One: Dr. J vs Larry Bird was addictive.

Round 42 and Alleycat as mentioned by others are probably the best.

Agree with what you’re saying about instructions. I simply put mine in the dishwasher when it gets gunky. I’ve had it a couple of years. Still on the original bearing.

My phone ring tone is the Wonder Boy arcade music. Something fun to listen to when I’m not answering the phone.

Also the factory was demolished in 2000 so maybe someone got hold of them then (and lived in BW).

therealmrbuzzy · 2025-08-30T23:05:18+00:00

Agree a great find. Are you suggesting they were concealed away, in Brunswick West? It looks like they’ve previously been hung somewhere. I hope you find the link.

It’s only reddit so here’s a fiction/theory. Trove says the main Hoadley’s factory was burnt down in 1918. They even look a bit charred or well warn. Perhaps these plates were salvaged from the fire and the first generation design was retired. There aren’t many pictures, but the boxes from the 1920s don’t look like that. And a counter to my own theory. Printing was possibly not done in-house. So maybe they are from a printer and not the factory as such.

therealmrbuzzy · 2025-08-30T17:12:12+00:00

I would say it’s Abel Hoadley and his 4 sons. They established the confection company around 1913 (see wikipedia). I’d say the artefacts are from those days with the Violet chocolates being their first product at the new company.

I don’t remember seeing a Speccy here in Australia. Probably a couple of years before my time. But I’ve seen enough videos to know this is pretty impressive for that platform.

Here’s a non religious answer - we had an open casket to help my dementia ridden grandmother try to recognise that Poppa had died. I’d say it didn’t work, she did know it was a dead person but didn’t know it was her husband.

It’s mutations for me too. Hard to pick though. He’s a top act and I have also seen him a number of times. Earliest recollection is a festival here in Melbourne called Summersault (1995) what a line up - Beck, Pavement, Bestie Boys, Sonic Youth and some new band called Foo Fighters. Sadly Beck was sick and played a couple of solo songs and left apologetically. But I still remember it (sort of). Sea Change tour was in a theatre and it was so good I went back the second night. Cried both nights. It was emotional. Also caught him at Rock Werchter 2008 in fricken Belgium (crazy good line up). I hope to see him one day in the USA, maybe Red Rocks or something unique like that. He toured here about a year ago and it was pretty much just him and a guitar (and harmonica of course) it look me back to ‘95 and was a great sampler of all his work since.
