You are right they were called Holden Special and the sedans had the special ability to rust by the time they were 12 months old. Firstly in the doors, then the front guards and bonnet (HD bonnet rusted considerably faster than the HR) and boot lid. Station Wagon's were on a different level...

I do remember Barry John in the 71 Lions. He was the first player to use round the corner kicking instead of a straight on approach. Rugby onion v NRL, there is no comparison. The reason it's called rugby onion is because it hurts your eyes to watch the crap.

Bastards!

I spent 3 years at a catholic boarding school between the ages of 13 and 16. The worst 3 years of my life. NEVER AGAIN.......

Three channels, you don't know how lucky you were! I grew up in NZ and when tv came in 1960 we had one channel and it was government rubbish. In 1975 NZ got another government channel so there was now a choice of what government rubbish you could watch. Not only did transmission cease @11pm but...

No shots. Used a RAT and tested positive Easter Thursday 22. Six hours later I'm talking to triple zero explaining my mild chest pain and how it has travelled up to my shoulder and part way down my arm where the pain is worse. Spent 5.5 days in the Covid ward during which time I was given...

My first car was a 37 Ford V8 with a bench seat and a long bent gear stick. There were times I would hit 3rd base every time I shifted from 2nd to 3rd.

Well done Keith. A well deserved award.

Spent the last three years of my education (59 - 61) as a boarder at Sacred Heart College in Auckland. Some of those brothers were vicious bastards, Brother Ralph in particular. Getting caned wearing thin summer pyjamas for being in the vicinity of a disturbance in the dormitory was not fun.

Well what a lot of goody two shoes you guys are. In late 1967 at age 22 I drove my 1957 Ford Custom 300 down the Southern Motorway towards the Greenlane off ramp in Auckland at exactly double the speed limit. 110 mph. That's 177 kph. There were five of us in the car and no seatbelts; I overtook...

Pay the fine and stop complaining. All she had to do was put her feet on the floor, pull the seatbelt forward where it goes over her shoulder and lean forward and adjust the visor. I worked as a panel beater for over 30 years and I have seen some serious damage INSIDE cars that has been done by...

Vella thank you for this opportunity. We are in for a really tough year and the crux of the problems will center around real estate which has been overpriced in relation to wages since 2001/2002. In 2023 the worst of our financial woes will be in the 4th quarter and it's not going to...

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, The Faces and early Elvis.

Hi Petra I sent my diet to you in an email but it has bounced back. The reason being the email was undeliverable after 4 days. Mike

Yes the naturopath took me off nightshade vegetables and gluten and I had already worked out that dairy products, particularly red meat were not doing me any good. I am sure your mother was right.

Yes I was put on blood thinners. Xarelto.

I am gluten free, dairy free, (nothing from cows) not much caffeine, no nightshade vegetables, reduce sugar as much as you can. Breakfast consists of Gluten Free Weetbix sprinkled with a generous amount of Sunbeam raisins, a chopped up banana and honey from a local bee keeper drizzled over...

Hi Guy and Girls Apologies to those of you who have been waiting to hear from me. Firstly I had a trip to Brisbane for a scheduled operation which was only minor to have a cancerous growth removed from my bladder. A week after that something happened that made me visit the local hospital to...

I have psoriasis since November 79. In December 91 I got a pain on the sole of my left foot. Four years later the same pain started in my right foot. I now limped badly and couldn't walk down stairs. In 2000 I was informed I had psoriatic arthritis and in 2001 the arthritis spread throughout my...
