Reminders you're getting old

Ha! Punter to Punter! Remember their public health service messages on Saturday mornings? For people still in bed at 10:30 they would tell you when it was time to roll over - they didn’t want their audience developing bedsores!

They also had a sequence where they would talk about each other’s character/events by using the form guide e.g Last night l had a race 6, number 4, then l saw a race 3 number 8. It was great fun.

Loved Punter to Punter. I still have their album which features a mixture of banter between Slim Whittle, Con Marasco and the Amaaaazing Doctor Turf, plus set pieces including contributions from Trevor Marmalade, Tammy Whittle, Young Graham Sefton and the “well connected” Yonnie Stone.

The record also has a few memorable songs such as the one about the truckie who drove into a pub in NT and the unforgettable “I Ate The Yabbie” (that ate Don Mackay).

It concludes, of course, with Con’s poem.

The “I Ate The Yabbie” song was hilarious.

Steve Vizard was on it too, as the voice of Mrs Sefton, and one of the perpetually stoned hippie racehorses.

Remember when he got back from a visit to Russia? “It was great… the Russian steppes go for thousands of miles”
Con: “Jeez, you’ld be buggered by the time you got to the top of them”.

I was told this morning by a sales assistant that the outfit I walked in with is ‘very classy’. Like, I don’t disagree and I accepted the compliment as I was rocking a great outfit, but kind of seems like a more mature person comment.

Great outfit could also be considered a more mature comment.

By some.

I prefer the term “mutton dressed as lamb”.

Not for you, em, but in general.

When I see a black and white number plate with the same letter prefix from a garden state plate I had had on one of my cars, that makes me feel kind of old. Happened twice now.

Mind you, him ordering the steak and the mrs ordering a croissant is pretty funny.

You couldn’t have the same black and white plates as garden state ones. The black and white went K - L etc, and then the garden state started at A, and didn’t get to and then it went to on the move…

Oh, you don’t mean black with white writing and just the word “Vic”? :slight_smile:

Anyway, when did Doctor’s get so young?

Yes, the black and white slim plates that some cars have these days, starting with A or B.
