Cynical Moi?
Around Post war I stayed with My Unc Doug & Aunt Joan in Melbourne, (West Preston it was) & arrangements were made to take me on further to Cobden where this Unc was an Anglican PriestOriginally Posted by JDNSW
I was tightly stowed in the very narrow rear compartment with my suitcase & we sped our way to Cobden via the main drag of the time. Being an Airline Captain with Reg Ansett or earlier (?), it was an obvious choice of car, a Dark green MG with a Tail shaft tunnel mounted Radio Ex some aircraft I think it was. Located stations by turning a small Crank handle. I used to think an Uncle named Douglas being an Airline bod was quite opportune./cool I found he had flogged it by my next trip to Vic. Can't recall what replaced it as it seemed to spend most of it's time parked out at Essendon when he was flying.
Ah happy days.
Very Very Lucky!

James, that reminds me of many, many years ago, when the Mrs 8 to be worked at the Hereford Society, where they registered the bovine equivalent to hatches, matches and dispatches, for thoroughbred ownership purposes.
A record price, for a bull of any breed, had been paid for a prize Hereford bull. The change of ownership was duly recorded. A couple of weeks later, the Society was informed that said bull was only good for artificial insemination, it had unsuccessfully tried to jump a six foot, barbed wire fence.

Years ago, a yarn that school kids in Darwin had refused to go swimming as it was a mere 25 degrees was funny for some of us.

I'm with those kids in Darwin. Your photo demonstrates, conclusively that temperature has a direct bearing on IQ.

Tried Kintsugi with a plate once. Interesting.
Toyota does it much better than my plate
