Shazz....After shave mate. Being bought up in down town Richmond/Collingwood we couldnt afford after shave so Metho diluted in water was the go. Tony Oz...:>)) ps. it also kept the flies offaya watermelon...lol

Yes, I think you did Vonny, and thanks again Shaz..Aqua Velva= one of the original 'facial care' products for poncy Aussie males. Verrrrrrrrrrry astringent, I believe. No Daylight Saving here in the West....going once, going twice, going three times...but there'll be ANOTHER referendum, you can bet your boots. All Australia dances to Sydney/Melbourne time.

Yoo Hoo, I'v finally got a spare minute :) SusyQ (((((HUGS))))) Jood - that pecan pie looks just delicious - I'm sooooooo jealous. Just saw 'Over the hedge' on video. ~~~~~~~~~ to McBev, can't remember if I said hi last night and too tired to look. So Hi and welcome. :) Going to beddy byes. much love to Ducky, Vonny

Evening all . . Firstly Nah, the little devil hasn't gone stark raving mad . . . Tasmania started daylight saving at the begining of October !! Clever little things aren't they !!! Tony, I gat dragged along to all JW's concerts too . . . didn't really mind cause I love Pixie . . . wanted to take him home !! I rule the music waves in the place now, but thats just pay back for all the years I only ever got to listen to country music. We had a lovely dinner on the balcoonie . . . seafood and champers !! celebrating life and the fact that today is the only Friday 13th October 2006 that we will ever get to have !! Off to check the mail . . . looking a bit full luv Laurie

Evening all, actually Jood, Tassie is already on daylight savings time, think about two weeks now Didnt realise it was that late, just got back from walking the streets, I do that every so often, especially on halloween he he Ha Ha Jood got sprung with her plateful of desert, I did ask for 4 spoons which the waitress did bring, but Jood wouldnt let the rest of us near the plate, he he just joshing Jood, she really did offer some to us all, but seeing as she had so far to drive we decided she needed it all, isnt that right Jood oohhwaah Tony, conitations of hand going down, had me wondering what you was up to then, you naughty boy Ah MacBev, I just love listening to Eric Bogle, used to be on with John Williamson a lot, was always sad when they finished, spoke to Eric Bogle the first time he ever performed in Tamworth, such a lovely down to earth person Aqua Velva, sorry never heard of that, please explain SuzyQ, bronchitus, you take care and look after yourself, tell Neville you need a hot toddy, better still, how about a hot teddy oooh Thats it, OH calling Nitey night, dont let the beg bugs bite, hee hee sorry Jood, couldnt resist, although I do say it to the grandkids when kissing them goodnight ((((((((((HUGS)))))))))), Pam, Ben and Mel Well its goodnight from him and goodnight from me, Toodles Shaz XX

Bev. Cant say i ever tried it. (Aqua Velva.) As teenagers we used Metho and water. ( ouch )...lol Tony Oz..:>))

According to my sources, Tassy (the country) doesnt go on daylight saving till the last Sunday in October. .. She (the person) musta already put her clock forward an hour. Jood

Thanx for that Jood...I'll print it out and put a sticky on my 'puter for future reference. Don't think I ever heard any of the Williamson concerts live -but I DID hear Eric (Bogle?) with The Band Played Waltzing Matilda at one Festival of Perth event years ago. Tony -did you ever make use of Aqua Velva? It's quite early here but I'll have to sign out. The OH has these peculiar ideas about meal times -prefers his dinner before midnight. Happy to lurk here....a nice friendly watering hole. Can I shout any one a round before I go? Bev

Bev, Pickles derived from - uhmmmm I can't remember how it happened now, but from thereon, we called pics Pickles (its coz someone couldnt read my email without their glasses, and thought I'd made typo) I'm starting to feel a little mad writing that :( --- ohhhhhhhhhh I remember - I typed the word pickies and some one thought it was pickles lol Thats what happens on this thread Bev, you go slighly mad on occasions. Jood
