Has Stark ever heard of the Yorker?

More of a brain off. But then again it's probably as relevant as this entire thread. Ps. Well done on those.

I'll give you the answers to the first two. You'll get the idea. Most of them are pretty obscure though. 26 letters of the alphabet. 7 days of the week.........

Not a few just wishing for just one finals win. I get the lower expectations but the reality is we only just loss both finals this year. Plus not losing Gus and Milk we probably would have beaten pies. Nothing but a flag next year will suffice for me.

Surprised there aren't reports of Goody crashing someone's perfect wave.

Really starting to strongly dislike this pseudo sports journo. More of a gossip columnist.

Art Pickles....world champion.

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.

They were around in the 70 s when I discovered them. What I just learnt is that they had been around way before. Tx.

My mate knocked out two of his sister's teeth attempting around the world. Or at least his version of it.

I found they didn't spin as well.

Ha. He was before my time though. Uglies included killer Karl and Butcher Branigan. I loved Andre the Giant.

It was one of those fads that lasted a while. I remember you could buy the cheaper Fanta yo yos. If memory serves, the coke clear ones were a dollar twenty. Probably collector items now.

Now you've got me reminiscing about Larry O Dea from C9 s World championship wrestling. Could have been Ron Miller. Not sure. It seemed so real.

That was the hardest. It required a lot of spin. Nb.This post is only in reference to yo yo related tricks.

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

Those sixpence would be worth a few bob now. What was a bob by the way?

Can we talk about coke yo yos soon?

It would be funny if not true.

And enter Uncle Bitters.

Nice words re Monbon. Ditto. As for singers, I saw a combined Simple minds, Devo and the church concert ten years ago. Jim Kerr really struggled with volume and hitting the same notes. Devo were still very good. A much underated band.

Jvr is a natural forward with all the aggression and athleticism to be a perfect cjf. I hope we get a full season of Petty at ff . It was a good move from Goody to play him fwd ( eventually) and I hope we resist the temptation to move him back. Im frustrated by our lack of finding another established fwd and also another defender to replace Petty down back. Has Tommo moved on?

Deflation.

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.
