I'm going to reminisce about Zig and Zag.

In the 60's The Kingsway overpass - a join between two spans dropped about 4cm causing the shutdown of the Kingsway. I remember Zig and Zag doing a a parody on their show of dropping a coconut on the Kingsway causing the span to drop. My parents reliably told me that for many years after I would go hysterical if we were travelling over the Kingsway overpass because "zig and zag dropped a coconut on it and it is going to collapse and we are all going to die"

lol nut, your past explains a lot of your current condition.

I still get the jitters every time I drive over the Kingsway overpass.

That's just a small part of it. I saw "Hair" at the old Metro ( which became the Palace - sadly being demolished as we speak, despite the council arguing over its heritage listing). Just before half time all the actors get their kit off. A young Marcia Hines was in the cast. My current predicament can be directly traced back to me seeing Marcia Hines naked at such an impressionable age.

Zig and Zag - messing up kids since 1963

Wish I had gone to that school. We went to the Shrine & the National Gallery. Mind you there were a few bare breasted sculptures at the gallary.

Gee you guys had a racy upbringing I went on a train ride to a school sports meeting.

Then again there were quite young ladies who were beginning to flower

Next you will be telling us you lived in a shoe box in the middle of the road.

Drove my Morris Marshall to the show Nut, loved both. Great days and I still love the music from the play.

i finally got my hands on lady chatterley's lover in the school library (the one and only racy book they possessed) only to find the interesting pages had been torn out

still, better than finding they were stuck together i suppose

Not with that reference to young ladies, he won't.

No shoe box dr but I was quite fascinate with young ladies at the age 14

and happy to say the fascination has stayed with me.

Sadly the only ones who now look back are older than me.

I am surprised they still have their eye sight

Then perhaps they don't.

Having to watch 3 bare breasted old hags stirring a cauldron at the start of the Macbeth move for form 5 English class scarred me for life.

Put you off playing the male lead in your school production of The Graduate?

So after seeing Marcia naked,youve got problems with where you park your bike??

If we're talking old (and first) cars, especially English ones, let me chime in to say that I've still got my first car in the garage - a '73 HQ ute with a 308 - and I also still have my mum's first car, a '63 Austin Healey Sprite. It's got very little power, AWFUL brakes, and bumpsteer you wouldn't believe, but I love it.

Gee your Mum must have been pretty cool when she was driving that! Not exactly you stock standard Holden FE sedan of the times.

I went to see Hair at the Metro in Sydney (in Kings Cross)... I got a free ticket as I bumped into an old school mate from Trinity Grammar in Melbourne named Clive Doak... he had a major role in it. And yes, being exposed to Marcia was certainly an eye opener.

I am envious, almost bought one in the late 90's Healey that is.

Does the top leak?

does the brown bear dump n the woods?

Yep, when it fit, the top leaked. Now it's shrunk so much I can't even get it on! I meant order one from the UK ages ago and haven't got around to it, so it's a sunny-days-only vehicle at the moment!

Mum was an only child, and I reckon she was probably considered the spoiled rich kid, driving that car, even though her parents weren't really that well off. The old Austin motor is still chugging along, too. Never rebuilt, never even had the head off it. The gearbox is starting to get a bit sloppy, though. She gets stuck in first gear, sometimes. Not fun in traffic!!

I was very fond of my zephyr.

That is pretty much a leak.

Sounds like even with all the problems you are still in love.

Enjoy it.
