Wongo in Melbourne

[Sturdee]

Midge,

If only you had an inquisitive mind like other interstaters. For then you would have asked.

And remember that those who ask on this board shall be answered. Trouble is the answers may not be what you want or make sense and often refer to pancakes or foilies.

Im sure if I had of lived in 12 century Europe, I could have made a religion of the Foily.

Al, not to worry, no need to go back in history just go over to the land of the septics.

With everything else that goes on there I am sure you will have a large following and converts very soon shouting : Hail to Al, the grand poobah of the foilies.

Peter.

He had to wear something on his feet, he'd catch his death from the cold otherwise.

White Shoes too!!!

[Wood Borer]

Great Picture Al of real men.

[Wongo]

I made it. OK I had a great time (honestly).

I managed to find buy a pair of thongs in David Jones so I didn’t have to wear suits to the BBQ. Meeting , Sturdee, WB, OZ and Eastie was great. They are all top blokes except ……

So what did I learn about Melbourne this trip.

Traffic:
1.Taxi drivers in Sydney are excellent drivers
2.You change lane and then indicate but it is optional
3.Doing an U-turn in heavy traffic is very common
4.When the light is green means go, red means keep going
5.Streets are square and parallel (Is Triton from Melbourne??)

Woodworks:
1.Nice people
2. and WB smoke a lot
3.Fashionable and they wear silver hats (too cool for me)
4.WB has a lot hand tools
5.They do their No 1 in the backyard

But the best of all: Summer in Melbourne is bloody cold. 10 degree was it? I thought it was less then that.

Cheers

They learnt a new BBQ trick.

Well come on Rob, what was it? Enquiring minds want to know.

Come on now Wongo, there is no such thing as a good taxi driver. Anywhere. Ever.

Good to see Wongo was the only one wearing appropriate shed attire (thongs).

Because we were entertaining someone from Sydney, we decided to act like a Sydneysider so we dressed down and used the lemon tree just like they do in Sydney.

All of us Victorians felt very uncomfortable and embarrassed acting in this manner but in the interests of diplomacy we made out that we always do these things so Wongo felt he was still in Sydney.

Craig, it isn't really a trick. I have perfected placing the BBQ near a bushy part of the garden so when the hotplate needs scraping (the honey and soy sauce on chickens makes a bit of a mess when they are cooking) you can use the Barbiemate to flick the crud into the bushes. Recycling is the theme.

Dan, your comments about taxi drivers are pretty much spot on. When I drove them on the weekends in the late 70's and eighties I kept your colleagues in regular employment whilst driving like a maniac. Used to do about 1000Km a weekend and I never had a stack or caused one but all the same we used to do a bit of low flying!

145K's around Batman avenue 10PM near the MCG on a Saturday night - $50 fine on the spot!!!! Rightfully the consequences today might be slightly more severe - nuthouse or watch house?

Anyway it was good to catch up with Wongo and as stated earlier I am glad everyone enjoyed themselves.

The big question is, who will our next victim be?

[DanP]

$400 and something fine and 12 months walking. A trip to court for dangerous speed if the copper can be bothered with the reams of paperwork. The result wouldn't be any better.

Cool. Instant compost
