Roast Grumpy Old Thread II - the grumpiness continues

Asbestos

All good if you don’t breath in.

Only if there is nothing else. If you have serious reflux/heartburn issues that is only a very small stopgap.

Giving up alcohol helps

It does. Mine isn’t really linked to alcohol, it can be a nightmare.

The sun comes out, you wash your car, then after not quite an hour of sparkly car, you get caught behind old mate with a trailer of uncovered jeez idk, looked like self raising flour!!

Bloke did cop a decent old bake

Was that the same Rob that had that other restaurant in Glen Waverley or somewhere??

Mt Waverley, on the corner of Waverley Rd and Blackburn Rd, before it became an enormous Chinese restaurant. It was absolutely packed back in the day.

Yes somewhere at the bottom of the Doncaster hill, city side. Almost Heidelberg

On Bulleen Rd right next to the Bulleen Drive-In. There was nothing like a hearty meal followed by an underaged viewing of “Porkies” post meal with the family.

Prescription ones are ok if you take them at the right time. I miss the old aspen dissolving ones that apparently cause cancer. They were effective at 4am

H blockers have to be taken before symptoms kick in and have side effects and i havnt been able to isolate any partucular food or drink as a trigger.

Omg Porkies! Last Christmas we were down on Philip Island and my cousins young fella, 15, is proudly telling people "275". I asked what he was talking about and he, and his parents, 2 uncles and younger sister were all well aware what his tally was for/about. He'd been keeping score, from Jan 1 to 30 November how many times he had boxed the one eyed champ. Anyway, congratulations aside, my cousins and I reckoned he had it too easy. Mobile phones and the internet had made viewing pleasurable material way too easy. No more hoping to find your old mans stash of Playboy or Penthouse, having to buy a People or Picture mag, hoping Porkies, or 10 or something similar comes on the tele and hoping your folks watch it so you can see what you can see ....

In a sign that I've attained full grumpy old status, I attended a caravan and outdoor show yesterday. The most notable part was the location - Caribbean Gardens. I'm sad to report that the chairlift, boats and train ride are gone and Derrick J is no longer in residence playing tunes.

On a related note - any suggestions for a four person caravan for doing a half lap (up the middle to Darwin and then back along the west coast)?

what Tug do you have or will you be buying one as well?? do you want a bathroom as well, we were after a couples van and settled on a new age 16 road owl that suited the Paj pretty well. Pajeros ball loading gets derated to 190kg when the load goes over 2.5t. are you talking 1 double and 2 bunks??

oh and the pirates of the carabean gardens have been gone a while now, i sometimes wonder where all the game modders, dvd bootleggers and phone accessory stalls are now?

A double and two bunks and we're likely to get a Pajero Sport to tow it. You happy with the Road Owl?

Have you been prescribed proton pump inhibitor like Pariet, or OTC Nexium?

Not to mention the serious decline in the standard of French language movies on SBS 0/28.

Car suggestions based on towing capability - Pajero Sport, Landcruiser 300, Nissan Patrol - in that order

Very happy with the road owl however any with the same floorplan in a 16 footer would have sufficed, we nearly bought a jurgans which was nice as well.

You would be looking at a 19 minimin with east west double bed,

Jeeps tow well also however if things go wrong you can be in a world of pain, paj sport with rear coils is a much better day to day than any ute, rear leafs suck for every day driving hoevers i need a tub to carry herbicides, chainsaws, drums of oil etc that you dont want leaking of stinking out a wagon/suv. We recently got stiffer coils put in the nt paj to take over caraven towing duties from the triton.

The group that owns range rover, Jeep, jag etc is shite.

With towing, there's GVM, towball downforce and a myriad of other factors to include.

My suggestions are based on medium to heavy towing.of 2000kg to 3000kg.

Lack of love for the Submarine at Carribean G is disappointing

Wobbys World was another must see Eastern highlight

VFL Park

And further on Gumbuya Park which these days looks epic which must make iUBs heart sing

I used to like just driving past Channel 10. Then when I was a teenager, my dad lived kinda behind it and my step brother and I, being the same age, tried a couple of times to break into the set of .... was it Holiday Island?? which was at the back of Channel 10. Robbie Flower had the sport shop in Forest Hill, and Greg Wells had a fried chicken joint in Mooroolbark.

Taking dog for morning walk along the foreshore was blowing a gale, lost my North peak hat in the wind . Blew into water.
