Your best work Red.

I thought so.

Took me a while to get it just right.

Anyone familiar with the Weis bar?  They are now half the size.

I think my Weiss bar is only half of what it was, back in the day.

I saw Meggs’ thread titled “Buzzing” and thought the missing thread had just been re-named. 😁

What happened to the Cultural Issues at the Dees thread? I’ve just finished a quality sesh at a microbrewery in East Brunswick to find it has disappeared?

Seems it’s gone the way of the Joel Smith tests positive thread aka the Demonland Bermuda Triangle.

Well done..lol..  yeah.   The 'cue' wasnt that obvious...unless you knew what to look for....and when you did it was easy peasy.

Someone mentioned using deposits off the coke bottles....yeah...whole other story there lol...  Looking back I was quite the ratbag delinquent. 

Twas I. A voracious collector of empty coke bottles, Leeds , Fanta and a few others. Lived in St Kilda East amongst a lot of flats . High density area and great pickings. Made more with bottles than my morning paper round. I hated that round especially on Saturday with the bloody Age. 5 bucks a week and usually had to pay for damaged flower pots. Doh. And it was so cold and dark at 5.30 am. The alarm sent shivers down my spine. As mentioned I got lazy returning the bottles and stacked them around the side of our Westbury grove house. When they went from 10 cents to 20 it was like winning Powerball. Apologies to the owner of the Newsagency for not turning my colleagues in for all the smokes they pinched.

Or perhaps the Great Pacific Gyre (or it's cloud based equivalent) where all the world's rubbish (threads) end up waiting to be collected and repurposed into a less toxic narrative.

Indeed: got home from delivering a meal to my son's bereaved partner, walked da dog - if you don't know how to do it, I'll show you how to walk de dog - Mick Jagger  - and checked and for a while I taut, as we'd say in Island ( sic), I'd been banned again. Then I see the whole post has Bermuderised. Who says there ain't no UFO's?????

Tough times ahead and wish you all the best.

Speaking of Mick Jagger, anyone who says Paul MacCartney can still sing is only looking not listening.

His Adelaide shows are on you tube and he has lost his great voice, which is natural in your 80’s.  

Think he should have called it a day. He doesn’t need the money and better to remember stars at their best.

So they were the ones behind the mystery thread culling.

Just another example of driving two once thriving threads into the ground in their relentless pursuit of productivity & profits.

Bloody corporates!

Nice words re Monbon. Ditto.

As for singers, I saw a combined Simple minds, Devo and the church concert ten years ago.

Jim Kerr really struggled with volume and hitting the same notes. Devo were still very good. A much underated band.

Obviously Devo can still whip it together.
