I was still using one up till about 2008 ish, until I moved up the coast. I could get Kero from the bowser down the street in The Riff.

Yep, actually originally launched by Old Spice as a second brand to compete with Brut. Still around !

Ha ha the old kero heater. Very warming but not a good smell !
I didn’t realise Mr Penis van Lesbian was still alive. Chitty Chity bang bang was one of my favourite movies

I have an elderly mate who, along with his wife and family, celebrate their wedding anniversary at a different venue each year, fully catered with KFC.
It’s become some sort of ritual, strange but true.

Sad to hear of the passing of Ian Heads O.A.M, a very fine and respected journalist who relied on the accurate presentation of facts, rather than grandiose bs to report on Rugby League.
I’m sure many of us have player biographies in our bookshelves written by
him and remember his regular columns in various papers. He also edited Rugby League week for some years.
Of course was also part of setting up
The Immortals concept.
Quietly spoken but sharp of mind he was part of an era of journos sadly gone. Names like Prenter, Tasker, Frilingos,Clarkson, Hyde, Morley and many more. These guys were welcomed by the players because they reported things in a positive not sensationalistic way which engendered respect.
Coz that was the way it was back then and allthose on here of a slightly older age would definitely remember and relate to.
Vale Ian and thanks for all you did for
RL.

Thanks champion @Halbrowne61 - all of us of a certain age just lived for each new Wednesday edition of Rugby League Week. Great up to the minute of all latest clubs' news and everything rugby league. And Ian Heads was the editor so many of those years. Thanks for the memories.
RIP Mr Heads.

You mean that’s not Benji sorting out Bud over that poor line drop out on Saturday ?
