He used to do a fishing report on Saturday mornings on Radio Adelaide, "Saltwater Lenny", he's full of solid fishing / nautical advice.
Reckons if you're sea sick drink a cup of sea water. You'll be that ******* crook sea sickness will seem like nothing at all the next time you get it.

As a kid we used to go rabbiting out Two Wells / Virginia way, either with ferrets we had or trapping. My old man told an incredibly stupid cousin of mine that he could come rabbiting only after he had his myxomatosis shots.
Sunday rolls around and the cousin rolls up to our place somewhat miffed that they had no idea what he was talking about when he went to Urrbrae for his shots.

He started out in printing but became severely allergic to the inks over time, then was unemployed from 1928 until 1936 when he joined SA Railways.
When I was growing up he had an expanding theme:
1st comment, "Stay at school till Intermediate (Year 10) and get a good government job."
Then , "Get your Matriculation next year (Year 11), and maybe become an Accountant."
Then, "Stay on and go to University."
