I worked with John Melouney in his later years. A lovely bloke, and now I remember him telling me he was in radio. The things you see in a footy team's fan forum . . .

We must be the same vintage. I went to the Catholic primary school on Wellington Rd, then Benno's, did hsc in 79. Back in the day, we'd drag our billycarts around looking for bottles to trade in. 5c each, in 1970 !!! You only get 10c each now, 50+ years later. Do the inflationary math on that...

Berala take away !!!! We must have grown up near each other mate. 35c hamburgers, too !!!

Yep, he'll absorb the attention like a sponge. Mind you, a good sized sponge. He fills that bag of fruit like a King !!!

He already knows that from March till September I have no son.

Don't know how Galvin will fare in first grade . . . but all this talk of " is his body developed enough to cope" . . . all those of us at Benji's debut at Cambo that afternoon must be wondering wtX everyone is on about.

An aside . . . last night at dinner, we were talking about Inglis' mentoring role. I said to my son that the media seems to be finally giving us a bit of respect and not heaping shit on us at every chance. He said " did you think it might be because this is the first time you ain't doing shit...

Great post Winston. An interesting side note, maybe even more so for one in your field. Today at our Australia day bbq, we had some of our son's ( 25 yr old ) mates join us. Amongst beers, lamb and discussions . . when I mentioned the "stolen generation" and the intentions of the...

I'm surprised that you see an inequality . . . a practical, genuine disadvantage between those that were allowed to vote and those that were allowed, but not forced to vote. There can be a virtue found in there if you look hard enough, of course . . . . I don't know the stats on non voting in...

And I look at it as it may have been wrong to force voting upon the aborigines that lived remotely and would have found it logistically difficult to get to a polling station back then. The inclusion of them in the voting process was enough to show fairness and "inclusivity". Those that want to...

Dunno about that, GNR. Saw him last year coming out of Kmart Lidcombe. Kmart Lidcombe, the antithesis of latte sippin' Carrying a home brand air fryer. Asked him what time he wanted me there for dinner, and got a laugh.

Saw one in Germany last year. Was travelling with my 25 yr old son that works in Sydney city. The irony is that I had to explain what a hare krishna is.

I'll go with when it was accepted nationally.

Not so much Hal. Why don't we celebrate the particular migrants that pushed this country forward ? I know it doesn't suit agenda's and identity political motives . . . but the migrant polulation that worked, developed, and help advance Australia . . . largely without government unemployment...

We look at stuff differently, I guess. The date was decide on nearly 100 years ago, and bar the last 3 or 4 years, has been patriotically celebrated. As it should be. It's Australia day. Has been for 90+ years. Hows about those that want to change it have their very own " Virtue signalling day "...

A friendly tip Karen . . . you have moved forward and the anonimity and freedom from agenda in your writing style was refreshing. Like, I could sense it was you, but you had grown out of the endless boring, unimaginative Penrith bashing. Dear mother of God . . . don't go back to the old days...

Yes, it's difficult to put that reference as a subtle message in a post. ;)

Karen, you seem to have a great passion for our team. You've dropped in from nowhere, and have taken to posting like a natural. Quality thoughts, as well ! It's refreshing to read some new opinions, otherwise it's just The Same People posting. ;) Welcome .

Great memories, T1 . . . I might be wrong, but I'm sure it was Sunday lunchtime. Mario Milano, Ronnie Miller, Larry O'dea, and Spiros Arion sending his message to all the Greek fans.

so the same sort of criteria as his own debut ? And he had the shoulders of a cricket.
