Close but no cigar. Actually $7.95 per kilo down there.

My highlight on the coast so far came when I picked up my copy of today's HUN and there, on the front page was a snap of the unmentionable one in charcoal and orange drag on top of a headline that screamed out,

"Rats in our ranks".

OK, the story under the headline had nothing to do with the little bugger but it made my day.

Dunno where you've been shopping Jack but I've paid $5.99 at a few places including the supermarket

Do you guys live on bananas or something?

They would be better than my dinner last night.

Not to mention The Loved Ones (arguably the best band this country ever produced), Mike Furber and the Bowery Boys, Little Gulliver, The Wild Cherries, Johnny Young, Bee Gees (Spics and Specs era). The Purple Hearts, The Valentines (Bon Scott's first band I believe), The Mixtures and on it goes. Discos like Thumping Tum, Box Hill and Ringwood Town Halls (fight night at the disco) etc etc.

I have great memories of my first ever live concert which was a Go Show at the Myer Music Bowl in the late 60's; MPD, Bobby & Laurie, ONJ, Loved Ones, Bee Gees, Marcie and the Cookies, Wild Cherries, and a few others that escape me now.

Don't forget Ray Brown and the Whispers, and two of the greatest... Billy Thorpe and The Easybeats. Those were the days!

For some reason I'm on an ABBA kick right now. Do I need professional help?

Not if you like The Winner takes It All.

I did this once - but I had an ulterior motive !

Glad I didn't say Dancing Queen. Should I have said ACDC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap or It's a Long Way To The Top if You Want To Rock And Roll.

Sloonie disagrees.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Oh no they had something alright.

I'm in a fighting mood!

When you ignore a user is there any way to get their stupid little username and stupid little face off the main demonland forum feed?

You would probably like Elton John's Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting or that classic Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Or something that was released after 1990..

Don't ignore me Sloonie <3

I'm very disappointed in Redleg. Last night during the massive rainstorm on the Coast we found shelter at Baskin & Robbins and they have a special on their banana ice cream. Redleg declined to partake. Not only that but he reckons he's also going to pass on the opportunity to watch Brad Green skipper the Aussies in Friday night's IR game against Ireland. That means he also misses out on seeing James Frawley and the best and most honest footballer to come out of the 2009 national draft Jack Trengove.

Zing.

I wouldn't go to the IR Game either. Don't encourage such rubbish. It's an AFL junket. Our players need a good rest before hitting the track again. I applaud the stand taken by Mr. Leg.

A few of us are showing our age. I like You Get What You Give by New Radicals. That was after1990.

There's been a lot of great music post 1990, but unfortunately I think the marketing machine had well and truly started to dominate by then and more and more music and performers were being "manufactured" rather than coming up through the live music scene. If you want to see what marketing has done to music in Asia, look no further than PopAsia on SBS on a Sunday morning. It's a real shame, because there used to be a lot of really exciting stuff going on in Asian music - well, I suppose there still is, but there is so much more dross that you have to wade through in order to find it.
