    Thank you for that.

    Your secret's safe with me, Red: I think you left a tiny full stop in that 'best work', sullying its perfection. Not too late for a final edit?

    Sunny boys - used to do similar  though I remember the printing on the seam used to be slightly different.

    One thing is the same; been thrown out by the shop keeper when they worked out what we were doing.

    I go back beyond Sunnyboys to the original(? - very early '60s) orange fruit drink tetrapak, the 'Jubbly'.

    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. 

    I also go back as far as sixpence a bottle, exchanged at the Torquay (summer source of lots of bottles) milk bar for a Peter's strawberry cone, with real(?) strawberry bits.

    I had an almost identical childhood. Empty bottles for cash, paper round pay was $6.20 though. Smokes and mags disappearing from paper shop. On good authority i confirm some over zealous boys moved in to first pinching full coke bottles then taking the empty for the refund. One gang allegedly removed a crate of coke bottles from the milk bar and hid them on the local school roof where they hung out. Figuring the bottles would be spotted with ingenuity they removed roof tiles and hid them in the roof space. Following week the school put up wire to stop kids climbing on the roof. Fifty years later the roof and tiles are still there. One day it might be demolished and the workers will likely be amazed as to why their are 24 classic coke 7oz bottles in a box under the tiles.

    Never mind.

    First of all there was the pound, slang term quid, this was divided into 20 shillings with one shilling (bob), two shilling (old term florin) coins and a 10 shilling note. A shilling was divided into 12 pennies with three penny (thrup'ny bit) and six penny

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
