42 years ago, on this day, one of the most infamous on-field altercations took place. Dennis Lillee and Javed Miandad almost came close to physical contact during Pakistan's run chase of the 1st Test against Australia at Perth.

Men were men back then ???
Lillee kicked him when his back was turned and Miandad tries to hit him with the bat?
Still funny stuff, imagine if if happened Sunday. 😁

Did you know they don’t make the multi-coloured fruit tingles anymore?

What a disgrace...what's this world coming to
But I suppose if they are all green, my favorite as they were the yummiest, I guess it's ok
I'll have to buy a packet next time I'm in Woolies.

How are you going with your health issues these days?
I hope things have improved .

Green, yellow, and pink. So you’ll be right.

You drove that type of bus?

The bus museum at Leichhardt takes them out often.

I never drove the double deckers, but I drove some of the crappy old single decker's that came after.
For the last couple of years before I retired, I drove the 14.5-meter coach size bus from P'matta into Circular Quay.

How many mirrors did you lose?

Losing mirrors depends a LOT on the skill of the bus driver.
If he/she has the ability to drive wholly within the lane while being mindful of telegraph poles, overhanging awnings, and believe me a LOT of other obstacles, not too many mirrors are lost.
If your losing nearside mirrors the obvious reaction is to stay a bit further from the gutter, then you lose offside mirrors from passing trucks.
I was lucky enough to go for one whole year without any incident at all and believe me that's something I was really pleased to achieve as it's pretty rare.
Soon after that I was unexpectedly called into the boss's office, and I thought 'shit I'm in trouble'. Instead, I was told my achievement had been noticed and given a certificate of appreciation which I had framed to hang on the wall.
A couple of years later though things weren't going well in my personal/home life which effected my driving and I started to lose confidence and bloody mirrors, to many mirrors.
I'd gone from the penthouse so to say to the bloody house and was no longer getting any satisfaction from doing a job I once enjoyed and doing it well....ahhhhh!!!...I can't handle this anymore let me outa here, so I became a self-funded retiree at age 57.
But....a BIG lump of the $$$ I had accrued in my superannuation disappeared in the f'n GFC.
And my personal/home life hasn't improved .

How many mirrors did you lose?

The one on the right is a disgrace, but I don't recognise the one on the left.
