Great odds on Richmond beating Port tonight, Dustin Martin first goal.

Gamble responsibly.

Which itself is
The new Im not racist

I started on Dunhill Blue's at about $2.50 for 25.

Peter Jackson 15's for about $1 (the milk bar up the road from the school gouged at $1.10) were very popular when I was starting High School. Almost like they were designed for kids, being easier to secret the pack on your person.

i used to get a big meal for $6 or so!
stand alone burgers were like 3.50. so i got a meal plus second burger for $10

 

[craigos]

I had fast food for the first time in a while and a large McDonalds meal was like $12, swear they were $9 when I last got one.

Question for people working on Anzac Day this year, are you being paid penalty rates? Anzac Day falls on a Sunday so penalty rates apply to the Monday public holiday but I'm assuming it depends on the industry for Sunday.

Dad used to send us down to the shops to grab his Longbeach 40s. We'd get mixed lollies a huge bag for $1 do we were stoked.

Never took up smoking.

They have, in the last 10 years they have all gone up by like 3-4 bucks

Johnny Mellencamp was our role model, the only time he wasn't smoking was when he was playing guitar, he was a pack a day man back then.
Like Keith Richards I don't know how he's still alive.

Getting it on with cougars convinced him to cut down.

here he is on Don Lane
dance moves need the Tony Bartucio treatment

Winfield nailed the Australian ciggie market when they got Hoges selling their product.




Winnie Reds only 40 cents, those were the days.

Actually, looking at that ad, it's pretty easy to see how he totally caught fire in the 80's. I know it's popular amongst younger folk to eye-roll at a lot of his stuff nowadays, but back then he was a bonafide A-lister.

That advert reminds me of that famous old quote: "The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you've got it made."

 

[Over The Post]

Jesus. Was he trying to dance, or trying to squeeze out a fart without ripping those jeans?

Looks like a bad Mick Jagger impersonation.

When Anzac Day falls on a weekend we don't get a substitute public holiday here.....

 

[Cuzz09]

Im unsure whether Im working on the ANZAC Monday.

Half the people telling me its a pub hol half arent then the others are just as unsure

I hated it when Hoges took off internationally with Crocodile Dundee as I just wanted him to keep on making The Paul Hogan Show.

That was when he was at his funniest.

Who can forget Arthur Donger.




"Not the gut" lol

 

[Plugger35]

The early 80s was a shit time for tv.

Sale of the Century was must watch family viewing back then.

I got accepted for SOTC but was overseas when I got the call up.

"Detective Sergeant Donger, here to rough ya up"

And the bionic gut! That was the funniest thing I had ever seen when I was in primary school!

Nothing wrong with SOTC. It was fun being carryover champ, and knowing I'd wipe the floor with all the other contestants. It wasn't fun when a mate at the studio pointed at a new guy, said that the main showcase hadn't been won in a while and they were worried about ratings, so they brought in this ringer. Bloody university professor fresh from winning the Krypton Factor. Gave him a ****ing good run for his money, we both had over $100 but I went down by $10 in the end. Of course he wiped the floor with all the other contestants and walked away with what should have been my Mitsubishi and cash.

It's wasn't just knowing the answers though. You had to be quick. Someone I know went on the show. She said she knew most of the answers but just wasn't quick enough.

I often hum or whistle the Paul Hogan show theme song.
