Ah the 70's. Skinny rib jumpers, lumber jackets, dolly cuts, treads, Broady boys, Slade, Croxton Park hotel, Sunbury.

Memories.


Added note. Sam Kekovich on the new Max Kirwan t.v. ad. I think those top dentures might need adjusting.
For the uninitiated ...

I tend to disagree that they were mainly worn by surfies; more your wanna be surfies. A bit like Ripcurl and Quiksilver t-shirts in the 80s.

I will say it again...get the $$$ into those first 1000 days of life.

It will save $$$ down the track.

We spend so much $$ on ensuring the baby is born ...and then off you go with the kid to raise it as you see fit, with some Health assistance/Maternity Care along the way.

If more $$$ was put into helping through the first 1000 days, parenting help, health, diet, educational, discipline we would all benefit long term.

And no family should leave hospital without a free pack of 20 toddlers books to be read and read to.

Got a lovely bottle of Glenmorangie Lasanta that’s been begging me to open it. Think tonight might be the night.
Just visited website...looks like.

Dont mix with Pepsi Max is my tip.

Look at Dan Murphys website and the poor prick whose cork fell in the bottle on opening. He wrote an email to Glenmorangie and they promised to replace...but 'did not'.

Date of review?

1st Jan 2018.

Today is the 6th Jan 2018.

Postie's/couriers should not be allowed to leave anything outside the house unless you sign off, regardless of size. Leave a card and go pick it up from the post office. Had someone in my area lose their child's new car seat after it was delivered and left at his front door. Security footage shows it was stolen by a woman who loaded it in her car and left.
Had a courier leave a 70dollar book leaning against my screen door last week. Luckily we don't have a front door thats TOO viewable from the street, but anyone glancing up would have seen it.

Also, someone was at home at the time and they didn't bother knocking

Ok, so I read some stuff in another thread and couldn't find it, so posting it here. What's the best way to burn (belly) fat fast?

I have a goal to reduce it within 1-2 months. Constraint is 40-45 minute sessions (6-7 days a week) and can't go too crazy as I'm past my footy playing days. Have access to a good gym so equipment not an issue. They also have plenty of group classes though most when I can't attend.

Regarding Fire & Fury,
Some of my favourite parts for anyone who thinks Trump should be in control of the most powerful nation in the world

Donald Trump Didn’t Want to Win – and Neither Did His Campaign
Donald Trump Didn’t Want to Win – and Neither Did His Campaign



As the campaign came to an end, Trump himself was sanguine. His ultimate goal, after all, had never been to win. “I can be the most famous man in the world,”

From the start, the leitmotif for Trump about his own campaign was how crappy it was, and how everybody involved in it was a loser.

Not only did Trump disregard the potential conflicts of his own business deals and real-estate holdings, he audaciously refused to release his tax returns. Why should he? Once he lost, Trump would be both insanely famous and a martyr to Crooked Hillary. His daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared would be international celebrities.

After Trump won

It was Ann Coulter who finally took the president-elect aside. “Nobody is apparently telling you this,” she told him. “But you can’t. You just can’t hire your children.”

“Here’s the deal,” a close Trump associate told Priebus. “In an hour meeting with him, you’re going to hear 54 minutes of stories, and they’re going to be the same stories over and over again. So you have to have one point to make, and you pepper it in whenever you can.”

It only gets worse after that. Bannon settling scores with the left, Trump not wanting his presidency to get in the way of his golfing. Trump sucking up to Murdoch, while Murdoch thinks Trump is a dumbass.

“What a ******* idiot,” said Murdoch, shrugging, as he got off the phone.

‘He demanded you pay him attention, then decided you were weak for groveling. In a sense, he was like an instinctive, pampered, and hugely successful actor. Everybody was either a lackey who did his bidding or a high-ranking film functionary trying to coax out his performance — without making him angry or petulant.’

Cut out carbs and do High Intensity interval training (HIIT). Boxing is good too.

This is my impression of Trump
“Yeah I just become president on my first go and I didn’t even want to. That’s how much people love me. People are so stupid, you just tell them anything in a loud voice and they love it. They totally love it. Hey hasn’t my daughter got a great body? I mean wow look at her! You know I bought the miss universe pageant and I can just walk backstage and inspect the girls. They’ll be there naked but because I own the show I’m entitled to inspect the merchandise. Before I bought miss universe it was awful, they were trying to bring in more intellectual girls but I was like NO! just bring me the hot ones. It’ll be great. The best ever.”

Shhhh Fox News is on
