Rip curl and quicksiver owners used surf with each other every morning at Torquay . In fact there was no point calling the companies till after 9am

We couldn't afford quicksilver or rip curl or billabong when i was a kid. I was rockin the Catchit range (pronounced cat shit).

Imagine my surprise and delight when I got my first pair of real jeans. Other kids had Levis or Lee. Mum sent me to school in a pair of Tiger Tuff.

Quicksilver ultimately ended up in Targets I think.

2025 is a bloodbath already ...

Just in the 3rd week of January already.

And this time last year everyone was bemoaning the lack of celeb deaths.

Made of tiger skin?

No, made of inferior denim.

Bob Kuban, American musician from St Louis aged 84, founder of 1960s group 'Bob Kuban and the In-Men'. This group in 1965 defied the British Invasion trends at the time by storming to the top of the charts with the catchy song 'The Cheater', but while they had some other successful songs around the mid 1960s 'The Cheater' is by far the best known of their songs today.

Nicholas Eadie is now the second member of the main cast of The Henderson Kids first series from 1985 to have died, following the passing of Ron Challinor at age 80 just two weeks ago. From the second series in 1987 two actors in the main cast - Dean Nottle and Marcus Eyre - have both since died, while some of the actors who played minor characters in a handful of episodes of both series have also passed away over the years.

If I was asked to guess which actor from the first series of The Henderson Kids would be the first to die I wouldn't have picked either Ron Challinor (he was long retired from acting anyway) and Nicholas Eadie. I would have picked in order Peter Whitford (advanced age now close to 90), Paul Smith and Jane Hall (played the jinxed Home and Away character Rebecca Fisher/Nash, also played by the late Belinda Emmett and Megan Connolly who died at 32 and 27 respectively).

Former footballer and Geelong Football Club Hall of Fame member Ken Newland has passed away aged 75.

Vale Ken Newland

The Geelong Football Club remembers iconic player, Ken Newland who sadly passed away aged 75.

Here's his iconic "six flights in a lift" moment from the 1967 GF:



I recall with fondness his single season with the Bulldogs in 1976 – including the EF when he kicked three goals as the Dogs were rolled by – ironically – Geelong.

RIP Ken

Ken Newland is only one of two players I can name - the other being Justin Murphy - who departed their team for a rival club only to return 'home' the following season.

In the case of Ken Newland, his two stints at Geelong in 1965-1975 and 1977-1979 saw a year at the Western Bulldogs in 1976. Justin Murphy left Carlton at the end of 2000 for Geelong, but his new home at the Cats in 2001 proved not to be to his liking as he was back at the Blues for the year 2002.

Interestingly, both Newland and Murphy's last games for their one season club* would be against the team they had transferred from and would return to the next season - Geelong in the 1976 Elimination final for Newland, and Carlton in Round 22 2001 for Murphy.

* Murphy also played for Richmond in 1994 and 1995, and for Essendon in 2004 and 2005.

Didn't Jack Gunston just do it? Or have I misunderstood you?

You're right, Jack Gunston after 11 seasons at Hawthorn (2012-2022) went to Brisbane for 1 season in 2023, only to return to Hawthorn for 2024.

And again it seems like being a rapper is a more dangerous occupation than being a World War II airman, a coal miner in the 1800s or early 1900s or being a laborer on the factory floor of an asbestos processing plant.

"Unk, born Anthony Platt, was one of the key figures in snap music, a subgenre of crunk"

Could someone please translate this for me? I don't speak rapperese.

[Gough]

I need a refresher course. I read Booby Seales' autobiography years ago and some of that was written in jive.

 

[Chicago1]

I do speak jive, a remnant of my teen years in the late 60s.

I've got mostly drill rappers I think.

I see jive and I immediately think of Airplane/Flying High
