Is that why you keep on the right side of that deranged lady? Smart man. 😉 

Is the left side the dangerous one?

Well, it’s the sinister side, as the Italian for “the left” will suggest… la sinistra. When it comes to BBO both sides of me are sinister. ☠️

Haha WCW, not really. i tend to keep on the right side of Jaded - because she scares me. You on the other hand, I just enjoy, because i never know what will come out of that mouth of yours next. I don't think even you do at times.

Is that why you didn't use the @ jaded feature... You are probably safe as she rarely ventures into this thread

I'm not really scared, just smart. No sense poking the bear (no offence intended Jaded!)

You’re not wrong! My smart mouth has got me into trouble many times. But then it’s got me outta trouble many times, too.

PS: I’m scared of Jaded, too (isn’t everyone?!). And I’m only confessing that because she doesn’t read this thread. At least, I sincerely hope she doesn’t.

😬

That’s definitely why I don’t tag her. I value my existence too much. But just in case she does venture here in a momentary lapse of sanity… geez, she’s a wonderful person. 😁

The absolute love of Jaded’s life is her adorable cavoodle whom she cherishes more than her husband (true story). His name is Bear… so maybe choose another figure of speech. 😝

Gee your family were doing well in the 70s with a trip to Hawaii.

I thought Lakes Entrance was pretty Cosmopolitan back then and as far as we ever ventured barring our all out campervan holiday in Merrimbula.

Can’t let that one pass, Jontee.  I feel compelled to defend the honour of my childhood and teenage stomping ground!

I haven’t been to Merimbula and its been decades since going to Lakes Entrance.  But other than a nice beach they just don’t compare to the Mordi beach precinct at that time. 

My memories:

• A real Carnival; a mini Luna Park with a Ghost Train but sans the Big Dipper  The ‘Dodgems’ were the best rides!!  Always did love driving cars fast! 
• The Shindig dance on Sunday nights.  Johhny Farhnam and the Strings Unlimited performed there occasionally.
• Fishing off the Mordi pier if one was so inclined.
• Parents buying fresh fish straight from the sea from Mrs Pompeii’s gate at the Mordi Bridge; it was an illicit business I believe.  Apparently the gate is still there.
• Just about the best and cleanest stretch of beach on Port Phillip Bay being north of the Mordi Creek.
• Trapezing up the Mordi creek to pick blackberries and catch tadpoles.

All in all the beach precinct was an idyllic place to spend one’s childhood and teenage years.  And in latter years a refuge in times of trouble,

I'm scared of Jaded too...sometimes....

Calling @Jaded No More    A few above, mentioning you without the required deference - I think some retribution is justified.

For a moment there I thought, [insert plummy voice] 'And now we return to normal service...'

But, Luci, thanks for pressing steadily ahead down the Lane.

Uhm… do you hear yourself talking? Now go back and read your post and know that I just vomited a little in my mouth.

That word connected in even the slightest way to BBO  is very scary so I would advise my friend  WCW to stay well away!!
