Well there you go. This thread informs and educates. You in on this Polly Waffle gig Aceman? Any free prototype samples kicking around?
Sadly Iām not in on it 
Robern Menz at Glynde are making them and I think for memory it was going to cost around $3m to tool up the factory for production.
They also purchased the rights for Violet Crumble and make them at the factory already but they are most known for their famous Fruchocs. They have a store onsite that sells the āsecondsā at very good prices.

His name is Jim Dunn. No issue naming him, the sale of the century story is on his website! Itās how he got his āinā with the stock market (selling the beamers) leading to a career in money stuff. Heās the guy whoād give market reports on 3AW. Mad bombers man, and very funny.
Thatās right. It was only 36 years ago.
He seemed a good bloke. Funny thing was that Tony asked him how heād spent the weekend and he commented how heād caught a cold watching the game at Windy Hill. Should have mentioned that i was in the same vicinity in the outer.

l drove a Loys truck for 10 months in 1976. It was the first ob l could get after college, it was also about the only job l could get at the time. The depot was out in Thomastown and l had to drive out there from where l lived in Hawthorn twice a week to stock up. My route was known as LEMAL, for Loys East Malvern, around the Bourke/Wattletree Road area, except Saturdays when l had to go to Ferntree Gully for some strange reason. Sundays and Mondays off and l could have all the Sarsaparilla and Creamy Soda l wanted. The money l saved over those 10 months was enough for me to backpack around Asia for pretty much all of 1977.

Hearing on the radio that Shane Tuck has died.
He was only 38 years old. Not releasing the cause of deathā¦
Article has Lifeline/Beyond Blue attached which usually gives an indication. Very sad news and my thoughts are with his family and friends.

RIP Tim Smith of The Cardiacs.
Obscure but cited by many bands/artists as an influence (Mike Patton in particular was definitely paying attentionā¦).
Heād not been well for over 10 years with his illness preventing him from playingā¦

Doesnāt specify.
He suffered a heart attack in 2008, which caused brain damage through hypoxia and led him to develop the rare neurological condition dystonia (which he likened to having your whole body covered with stretched fishnet material then having electric shocks constantly sent through it).
Regis Philbin, of āRegis and Kathy Lee/Kelly Ripaā fame passed at 88 years old.
Bit of a morning TV icon in his day, and the original host of Who wants to be a Millionaire in the US.

I wish him well in the afterlife however.
