SA Footy

**** I hated 'Touch of Elegance', whilst I accept it was pitched not at me but squarely at 50 year old and above try-hard snobs.

Here is Try-hard snob extraordinaire and regular host Margaret Glazbrook having the piss extracted by a couple of no-name Scot comedians in 1989.

I didn't have time to even notice anything else,,.

(It was a Golden Age all you whipper-snappers have missed.)

Go on, you know you want to tell us about that raunchy night at Jules after a cask of sparkling Renmano when you chatted up Abigail whilst holding hands with Germaine Greer who at the same time secretly pinched Junie Morosi's bum.

I never went to Jules, and would never have drunk Renmano!!
Similarly the women in my life were nurses, teachers, social workers, etc.
(Though there was that Israeli Army Sergeant - she was nice, but only in Oz for 3 months.)

Ah, but what a three months it was.

I'll bet you were mos'sad when she left.

Chances.

Pacific drive??

Sylvania Waters?

Paradise Beach.

Reality TV before we knew that it existed, and that it is founded on the lifestyles of bogans.

Noeline Donaher, the mad cashed-up bogan matriarch around which it centred. Proof that money can't buy you class.

I began to suspect she was Mosad when we visited her Nuclear Physicist father who was working in SA and she said the following.
"Dad, I've been instructed to tell you there are unlimited funds for your research available in Israel."

He left a month after she did.

Je'wish she'd stayed longer?

Some win some lose. Got very strange later on, with vampires and the like.

No, 3 months was about right, and I had other interests to pursue.

Everything about this clip screams 1986. Except the "Chilly Willy" cartoon at the end.

The SANFL.

I still own my first pair of pads. Pair of County pads that my grandfather bought me and he got them signed by the great DK Lillee

Buckles and no extra padding on those things

I think I remember this, it was before they moved into Regent Arcade next to Players Bar.

From memory in was in the shop next to Cibo, which last I remember housed a sushi train.

I've seen them and thought who the hell would buy a cricket bat that costs that much?
