We had television in the 70s.

I last stayed there in 1979 FFS. Do they still have that pool?

1982 or 83 for me.

having a discussion at work about Sunday morning radio programmes back in the 70's.
Bad Jelly the Witch, Flick the fire engine, Davey Crockett, Woody Woodpecker etc
Those were the days when you actually had to use your imagination.!

You guys get that across the ditch ?

There was also the passing parade. Educational.

Yes , Warrnambool is an awesome place. Just that Motel isn't great, although I am loath to mention it at work cause well next time they might book me a room at this place....






Most apparently book rooms there by the hour

Red Rooster still on the hill.

Last time I went to warrnambool was a few years back. Stayed at a motel on the eastern side, not too far from fletcher jones (I think).

We had fast food one night. I had a kermonds burger while the rest had pizza.

I was happy with the hamburger, but stuff I read recently says kermonds burgers have gone bad. Has anybody tried one recently?

Haha. I was going to ask if you were staying there. At the back of this place there are 20odd units that are about 10×2 metres. The occupants are usually fresh out of jail or psychiatric units.

Kermonds burgers are still good. They haven't changed for years and years.

It's just that Warrny has 2 new burger joints recently open up. The trendy Melbourne hipster type that charge you am arm and leg, and the youngsters love them.

Sheesh are they give BF accounts on release? Would make a lot of sense now I think about it.

Good news. We would always get a Kermonds when we visited Warrnambool back in those good old days.

Hipster burgers. Don't want coffee or burgers servered by these degenerates.

I've seen Aussie TV...I think I prefer one channel of crap, rather than multiple...

Two weeks ago, my friends mother in-law forgot her passport and plane ticket at home. He had to leave work, go home, pick up the tickets/passport and go to the airport. Luckily she had enough time to check-in.

Walked out of my local Woolworths to be greeted by numerous posters strapped to bollards with the words "Custard on a stick. Genius"

Yes. Yes it is.

Is this what it has come to?

Would someone care to enlighten me how this works?

Wouldn't it be like trying to pin diarrhoea to the wall??!!

Losing.

Chief asked us to clamp down on trolls by hunting them down and making examples of them as a warning to others Roozee. The "custard on a stick" signs may be cryptic but, as Arti Cloke would say, "they'll soon get it!"
