We got the TV for the Melbourne Olympics... it creeped me out. Noddy with that organ/calliope style music scared the bejeezus out of me, Tom Terrific, Torchy the Battery Boy, Sooty etc etc... you're lucky you missed out.

These were all my little brother's faves (which would put your age in the mid 50s). He moved on to Thunderbirds and then Dr Who.

I never did understand how those old crystal radios worked. But it was how I listened to the Brownlow Medal before it was a 'televisual feast' (with apologies to John Cleese and Connie Booth)

didn't you know the pyramids were really a giant power station powered by crystals and electro magnetic forces

Crazy waste of money from CD and MC......cheaper just to dose up on mystery injectables.

I am hoping the club has volunteered to chip in but then again we are in a bit of a pickle.

I don't think it matters where you take the players pre season if you start off with boiled loolies they will never become Chocolates.

It is IMO as simple as the vast majority are not AFL standard and no amount of humidity / altitude is going to change that problem.

Great stuff... but I'm early 60's actually :-) I too moved on to Thunderbirds via Supercar, Stingray, Joe 90 and Fireball XL5 - Gerry Anderson was a genius!

They earn decent bucks, be interesting to see who else puts there name on the list, those two blokes are everything that J Watts isnt.

Having just climbed Mt Fuji, if they leave now there won't be any snow for a while and it's 12,000 feet. It was good for a headspin while climbing, I'm sure it's good for recovery

They want a gruelling walk.... Tengboche !! Mind the Yaks !!

Did that a couple of decades ago myself (and I am pretty sure it was around this time or a bit earlier - it was after I went to the diamonji festival in Kyoto)... my legs were screaming by the time I reached the top and coming down was terrible - that volcanic gravel is very loose so you slide everywhere and when it gets into your boots, the little effers are sharp and very uncomfortable. I think with all of the time I spent taking my boots off, emptying them and putting them back on, the walk down took longer than the ascent.


Kenya, Eldorat, now that is a place for high altitude training 9000' really gets the lungs going, fairly cheap. Loved playing against young fit blokes because after 15 min they would blow up, also when you play golf at 9k like at Limuru you get huge distance on the ball.

I was planning to camping in my house on the week end.

So I can show my true dedication to the Dees.

My driveway.

Drove up once with a friend in the front seat.....cured his stutter.

The HK panno will never cope.

So, are you fit enough to slot into our midfield?

Over two decades have passed and the intervening years have not been kind to me LDC... so, apart from having the right height (at 188cm), I'm afraid that in the interests of my children growing up with a father, I would have to pass (well, fail).
