Ah bugger.
Consuming Passions was a gem of a TV cooking show.
Add: I’ll pair a glass of wine with dinner tonight to honour the show, too.

Loved the bloke. Still watch episodes every now and then on YouTube. He was a character. The Peter Cundle of cooking.
Signed an autograph for me at a WSC game at Waverley.

He was very accurate but really needed conditions in his favour, and didn’t often find those conditions in Australia.
This will fall into the (and not so) but Rigoberto do Rosário Jr. wrote and sung the ‘unofficial song’ of Macau with the band “The Thunders of Macau”. Rigoberto was a cousin of my dad. Passed late last night.
If you’d like a more detailed read about the group.

I always thought it odd that such a quintessentially French vehicle had a nose that was turned down.

Jessica (Top Gear theme) is such a wonderful guitar song. It’s a hell of a feather to have in ones cap.

Is he the last from the original band?
No, one more left from the founding group: Jai Johanny Johanson
Oh the other drummer. I knew Butch Trucks had passed.
Duanne Allman always said Betts was the better guitarist in the band, while Allman said he was the more famous. For a while Rolling Stone magazine pushed the line the Allman Bros band was the all time greatest guitar based band.

Interesting that the draft busting Terry Hill case never spilled over to VFL. Although Silvio Foschini did a bit I suppose. One for the legal eagles.
Terry Hills always good value at Origin time and on The
Footy Show. Go Nads!

The first big draft busting case I remember was John Pitura. Richmond took South Melbourne to court to get him across.
And then he never became a regular player for them.
