6th Feb 1952?

Isn't that when the music died.

Edit: no 3 feb 1959

Do his friends needle him to play their favourites? Or is he single?

I see your point. I expect he is happy with whatever is going around at the time. Or until someone else wants a turn.

Depends if your in a jungle :shock:

Which reminds of the two characters running away from a chasing lion in the jungle, one says "We'll never be able to out-run the lion", to which the other responds "I just need to out-run you".

Coming to the end of our 2 year contract for broadband/landline service. Did some homework on our usage - we have a 200GB monthly plan. WOW average use over the past 23 months is 58.23GB per month. Only one month we breached the 100GB mark at 147GB.....I wonder what the kids were looking at during that month

Talk about excessive allowance - more beer money!

I have an 8Gb monthly limit, and rarely reach it.

I guess I am never home...

I may be in a position where I can't be fussy very soon...but I wont let that onto them.

I can loan you two female children.

They blew our monthly allowance in less that 24 hours once, on Minecraft videos on you tube. It probably didn't help that one of them refused to let the other watch with them on the same computer. Apparently, in this situation you don't seek parental intervention but instead get another computer and watch the exact same you tube videos at the same time.

Certainly not my fault for having so many computer lying around.

 

[RAM]

Me too so I can pay the tax penalty.

The tax department must think I am made of money. :shock:

They can but hope...

 

[RAM]

It's not wine and therefore I know nothing at all. However, I would strongly encourage you to undertake a research tour. There would no doubt be government grant money available.

Provided your research is on the production of it and the impact of climate change on the alcohol content.

Tom Jones is one great performer.Have had the pleasure of being at one of his shows in Las Vegas when they had smaller dinner venues.Sang his heart out.

How many undies were thrown?

Doesn't your iphone think MEL is your home?

 

[RAM]

It's ok but Jameson is better.

Bad news for most AFF wine drinkers.
Wine only protects against CVD in people who exercise

But the bottles are soooo heavy when full.

 

[RAM]

Hell, I was working at RPAH when the moon landing happened ! I remember when JFK was shot, and I remember when television started in Australia - we had TV set number 56 - all the kids in the street came to look at it !! NOW that's OLD !! :shock:

And the winner is....

Who had the first party line phone installed?
Who bought an FJ new?
Who bought a record player that could handle the new fangled 45s?

No, not me but I'm sure we can track someone down...

 

[TheEmu]

Meet Zero Freitas, a Brazilian millionaire and avid vinyl collector who has amassed over 5 million unwanted LPs over the years ... more than anyone else in the world.
Meet the guy with 5 million LP records - Video - Business News
Now that is a collection...and warehouse. Bet there are some really collectible ones in there as well...

Do his friends needle him to play their favourites? Or is he single?

I see your point. I expect he is happy with whatever is going around at the time. Or until someone else wants a turn.

5 million - is that a record?
