Cue Tasmanian in-joke.

I trekked in Sikkim with Tenzing Norgay once. But only Tenzing Norgay jnr unfortunately. Still, he’s given me the opportunity to construct a sentence with two lots of double-k in it, for which I’m eternally grateful. We yakked the whole way about everything except bookkeeping. There, I’ve done it again.

Post would have taken a bit of hard yakka...

Tenzing Norgay (the original one) came and gave a talk at my school once, I went up after had a brief chat and shook his hand. Same with Dr Julius Sumner Miller.

Back in the 80s, a few of us went to see a band in Merimbula. It was ‘Stevie Wright and Hard Rain’. Afterwards one of my mates started chatting to a band member and next thing we were shaking hands with Stevie and getting a signed pic. Still got it; the signature is shaky.

I touched Susie Quattro’s (booted) foot once.

Met Fred Shepisi at a party in Los Angeles.

Definitely hard yakka davethedon, however, he is a trekker of zikkurats. Not like he's some bookkeeper that jackknifes at any sign of a quokka!

I hope you told him hyphenated names are for upper-class twits and/or chinless bed-wetters.

My favourite Peter Davison show was as Dangerous Davies in The Last Detective.

Reminds me. I hit Ken Fraser’s brother in the nuts playing cricket back in the day. We won the schools association premiership so the teachers challenged us to a game. Mr Fraser opened the batting and I the bowling. Dug one in short but it shot through low on the malthoid (tar covered concrete) wicket and caught him square in the goolies! Much hilarity ensued.
