Found a couple of British trucks for the Forum. Fodens were big in Australia up until the 1960s when the American trucks took over.

Joel , Some Great NEWS TO TELL YOU , PLEASE RETURN TO THE PUB , MY FRIEND !
I can't stand the bumpers on my Saab. Recently I was at the wreckers and found a Saab with bumpers in much better nick and decided to do a swap-over.
CARDIGAN BAY
My Dad used to tell me he was the best horse he'd ever seen. A 1960's star so before my time. He won of two of New Zealand's biggest races within his first seven starts. Incredible!!
As a 10yo gelding in 1966 he raced in the USA in the Pace Of The Century against the greatest American Standardbred of all time - Bret Hanover - a winner of 47 out of 50 races and beat him!!!

Hi Tommy,
Just read Ian CP's post that All High has died - that was very sad to read! Some fun posts back in the last decade.

Good morning gents.
Just took about half an hour to post various stuff to Don, Jardine and KAMI - and the post was lost as 'Betfair took to long to respond' when I hit the submit button.
Too angry to try again, so I'll just say 'hello' to you all.

Don, it was very sad to read of All High's passing and yes, it really was terrific fun back in the 'glory days' with All High and IanCP et al.
Would have loved to have shared a drink and a chat with 'Sir' All High and you, scented blinkers and all!
In another time we will.

Jardine, so glad you called in again to have a pint with the cricket.
My top spot of the tournament has been listening to Sir Curtly on TMS!
The menace in his voice when The Windies have been cavalier in their games has had me grinning with delight in how much cricket really means so much to him.
One day last week another commentator introduced him to the TMS box by his full name and asked him if the 'Linwall' was after Ray Lindwall.
Curtly confirmed it was, saying his mother was such a great cricket fan she'd named him in the hope he too would be one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time.
Well, his mother's hopes, as we know, were realised - and I immediately thought of you when the conversation was carrying on about his mum ringing the bell on her porch everytime Curtly took a wicket - and how you'd managed to get that lift with the great man that day over there all those years ago.
I've just loved listening to the cricket WC whenever time has allowed and 'Sir Curtly Elconn Lynwall Ambrose, KCN' has been the pearl in the oyster!
Just hope England can get past the Aussies now so SKY will uphold their pledge to show the final FREE to terrestrial viewers, so all the up and coming Curtly's (who don't even know they could be great cricketers) whose parents can't afford to pay for SKY Sports have their appetite whetted for the game.

KAMI, loved your photos of the Lorikeets.
The ones of your bashed-up-then-done-up-bumpers had me smiling in glee at just what this pub is all about - utter craven nonsense!
The ones of the trucks will be framed and hung in every nook and cranny!
And yes, Tin Soldier just MUST be one of the greatest CHOONS of all time.
Can you imagine; if Steve had still been alive and had played it at Glastonbury last week anywhere near to how he did on that transmission, would there have been a single person in the crowd/watching on TV that would have disagreed that it would have been THE MUSICAL highlight of the festival?

Great to see you make another Cameo like appearance Tommy. You're a bit like the owner of The New Hampshire Hotel in the first part of the John Irving novel "The Hotel New Hampshire".
REAL AUSSIE MEN DRIVE UTES (or at least own a ute they drive occasionally). OK. Let's try this. REAL AUSSIE MEN OWN UTES.
This is an absolute FACT. Any Aussie male that doesn't own a UTE is either a child or in prison or a hipster or a GAYBOE or a NERD or a soccer fan or a porn addict whatever.
Check this out.
This is my 1993 Holden Ute. A 5 litre V8.

By the way, where's Joel?
I see he hasn't posted about any Cups - or anything else - since about April.
I'll have to send him a text.
Hope he's okay.

Back in 1990 my son was born. I had virtually nothing to do with the birth and take no credit at all. I was however there at the hospital on the allotted day to transport mother and son home. I brought the car around to the front of the hospital and as soon as I got out I noticed the dismayed look of the nurse and the familiar look of an angry wife. I'm thinking what the fxck is wrong with women? You'd think this would be a happy time? My wife says through gritted teeth,'You've brought the ute. Thought you were bringing the Commodore?'
'I thought I'd take that pile of copper pipe and stainless that was out the back up to the SCRAP KING at Hornsby and kill two birds with one stone. He's only a kay away from the hospital. Then pick up you and the little bloke. Too easy.'
Now in my world logic like this would be applauded. Why make two trips to Hornsby when I can combine it into one? But wives and nurses don't think the same as me. Oh no!! It's all about them. They don't consider for even one second my collection of scrap metal that I've been lovingly tending to for 12 months. Scrap King is only five minutes away from the hospital it's a no brainer. Profit margins are so slim on scrap and with the price of petrol and a thirsy V8 what does she expect?
I've taken her stunned muted fury as an opportunity to take my little bundle of babyness into my arms and put him into the blanket lined milk crate in the back of the ute I prepared earlier. At this point the Nurse pipes up. 'Is this some kind of joke?' Ahh-no. 'Maybe you're not aware but it's hospital policy that a baby must leave the hospital in an approved child safety seat.'
I said 'Look. These are the facts. If I put the baby seat in the front seat then the wife has to get in the back of the ute. What if there's an accident and she gets flung from the back of the ute and ends up in hospital? Who's gunna make my dinner? The baby? I don't think so. So the wife goes in the front and the baby can go in this nice little blanket lined milk crate. If it starts raining I can always put the tonneau cover on if that's what's bothering you.'
The Nurse is barely listening to me. What is it about hysterical people that is so irritating? By now she's on her knees screaming and crying and pleading,'PLEASE DON'T LET THE DOG KILL THE BABY" . Pfffft. My PIG Hunting and Killing half Kelpie half Bull Terrier covered in scars of battle against VICIOUS WILD BOAR now has her head buried in the milk crate no doubt wondering if this is something fun to KILL!! I say,'Oh FFS that's only Jo. She won't hurt him.'
I can see I'm losing here. I say,'how about I take Jo home and come back in the Commodore? Take half an hour.' OK.
Dead Set. It's annoying how women can be such dickheads. I had the perfect plan but they can't help themselves.
Btw that WILD BOAR KILLING Kelpie/Bull Terrier let my children inflict all kinds of tortures on her and suffered them with good humour and joy. I still laugh thinking of them sitting on her back twisting her mangled ears like a Hells Angel revving up a Harley!!

Hey Tommy a really curious thing happened the other day. I was feeding the Magpies some mince when a Lorikeet flies in for a sticky beak. I've seen this once before but on that occasion after he decided he didn't like mince he flew away. Anyway this time the Lorikeet stays. He's right at my feet or only say 12" away. I can't believe it because usually it takes time to build up trust for a wild bird to get so close. Maybe he sees the Magpies with me and figures it's ok. Inevitably the male Magpie gives him a vicious peck to the head but he's not bothered and after that the Magpie ignores him. The weird thing was he actually ate the mince. Then his friend turned up so there was two of them. They took the food off my fingers. I couldn't believe it. I went to find then some fruit and the best I could get was a mandarin but they weren't interested. I can't believe a bird I've never been near before took food from my hand!!
Hi KAMI!
It's nice to be about at the same time as you. It happens so very rarely these days.
I work very long night shifts over some very long weeks (most of the time) and am almost always on at the weekends. What with that, the need to have some sleep here and there and my computer getting ever slower - so firing it up takes longer than The Flying Scotsman with a bucket of coal - I can only make cameo appearances!
BUT, I am on holiday at the moment, so I'm sitting here watching Le Tour on the telly, with the radio besides me so I can also listen to TalkSport, as the greatest presenter they have (Danny Kelly) is on at the moment - and chatting to you.
I'm drinking 'naked Mojitoes' - and the sun is sort of out in Stoke.
Ain't life grand at times?!

What the hell are 'naked Mojitoes'?
That's cracking about the Lorikeets and the instant trust.
I have a robin who seems to be following me about at the moment.
He flew in through the kitchen window last week. I was sitting on the sofa in the living room and heard a rustle by the living room window, went to see what it was and saw the robin fluttering to get out. So I opened the window and he just turned around on the window sill and looked at me, straight in the eyeballs, for several minutes.
It was very endearing but I told him he'd have to go out so he wouldn't hurt himself. He then jumped on the widow ledge and flew into the nearby lilac tree.
He keeps popping up at the front window here and there as though he's playing peek-a-boo and earlier today he was standing on the outside of the kitchen window sill as though he was waiting for me to come and say 'hello' - which I did.
I know it's daft, but I call him 'Sparky the robin' after my dear departed friend Sparky.
I'll swear it's him after a 'naked Mojito' - which he introduced me to 4 summers ago when I went to see him at his house and which I've only started drinking again recently!

Haha! 'Naked Mojitoes' are Mojitoes without the sugar, tonic water and mint - So they're generous sloshes of white rum with a load of ice in a long ball glass, a squeeze of fresh lime, topped up with cloudy lemonade.
Bloody glorious they are in the summer!

It's like when you read a recipe from Heston or whatever. I think oooh that sounds nice I'll give that a go. Then the recipe has all these ingredients I've never heard of before and can guarantee won't be in my local supermarket.
We have a thing now at home. I got so sick of my wife asking me what do I want for dinner I couldn't handle it. I DON'T GIVE A FXCK WHAT'S FOR DINNER!!!!! I don't SHOUT at my wife because I love her and I don't shout at people I love. In fact I don't shout at people I don't love either. It's easy to shout on the Forum you just use Capitals but in real life I never shout at anyone.
So anyway I have the same thing on each day of the week e.g Monday is fish night. I wish it was seven because now on weekends the wife says 'what do you want for dinner?'
I must say as I get older the less I care. On the rare occasions I eat out I'm always disappointed. I pay a lot of money for food that is not much better than I get at home.

Cloudy lemonade is...well...cloudy!
I think it's because it's made with more lemon juice (lemon concentrate) than bog standard clear lemonade - but I might be wrong.
It certainly tastes more lemony than clear lemonade.
No difference in price mind: 50p for a 2 litre bottle in Tesco.
What with Tesco selling J W Spicer Rum (white or dark) at £10 a 75ml bottle, and a net of 5 limes for £1.50 it's a bloody bargain bonanza Naked Mojito Fest!

Regular readers will be aware that I am Australia's leading expert on **** people. That's because where I live I'm the last man standing. The only True Blue Aussie left. People stare at me in the street and at the shops and in the Mall. They've never seen anything like it. A tall man with blonde hair wearing shorts and thongs and a T-shirt that reads "I'm a Koala - I eat roots and leaves" and carrying a stubby of Tooheys. They take photos of me. Selfies. **** people that is.
Anyway I was at the Mall today and decided to go to Maccas for a quarter pounder. Maccas is rich pickings for an observer of the ****. I'm like Richard Attenborough. Except I'm not a greenie weirdo. And none of my observations are fake set ups mine are all real. First up was the obligatory hassle with the ordering. The **** person at the front of the line and doing the ordering had clearly never heard of the biggest fast food producer in the world and had to have the menu explained to her. The fact she couldn't speak English made this a very drawn out process. It's amazing the number of **** people live here that can't speak English that have somehow passed the English language exam to gain entry.
Next in line was a **** person who made his order swiftly and without fuss. This is too good to be true. There's gotta be a catch. Yep here it is. After ordering and tapping to pay he just stands there. Doesn't move. The cashier is looking around him to ask me what I'd like. This numpty is still standing directly in front of the cashier like he's planted. Eventually I have to tap him on the shoulder and point the thumb and say 'Dude. Wait over there mate'.
Then I have to line up in a group and wait for my number to be called. A woman reasonably attractive in her 30s already had her burger and was with her friend waiting for her order. She chewed her burger with her mouth open which made me recoil like I'd seen a welder's arc!! Fxckin Hell!!! Mate that is not cool. I reckon if Elle Macpherson invited me up to her hotel room and we enjoyed some room service dining and I looked across at Elle and she was chewing on a medium rare Filet Mignon with her mouth wide open I'd have to really think hard about ......oh fxck it Elle Macpherson can do whatever the hell she wants. Bad example.
The waiting for your number to be called party never disappoints. They constantly call out numbers that no one responds to. I don't know what it is about **** people. They get 99% in their High School exams but then they're too dumb to realise that when the Maccas girl calls out 151 and you're holding ticket 151 maybe you should go and get your food?
Don't get me started on the snail speed walking.
Just thinking that in this PC world we live in maybe I shouldn't say ***** people. I better blur it. You guys guess.

A terrific result for Stoke City as they knock perennial Isthmian League strugglers Leeds United out of the Worthington’s Milk League of Caraboa and Johnson’s Paint Cup last night, on penalties kicks, at the Sutcliffe Lorry Park Stadium.
I accompanied the ecstatic travelling Stoke fans for the entire journey back to Oatcake Temple Meads, and this tuneless chant was sung loudly :
'We want Nathan Jones to stay on as our manager
cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-
He’s not just the title of a Supremes 1971 hit, and much more useful than a coat-hanger
cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-"
I don’t mind admitting I wept openly at hearing such a moving example of collective good judgement, regardless of the hastily contrived lyric and poor scansion and rhyme.
Fingers crossed Tommy was listening in on local Leeds radio station Saville FM.

It's true I like stuff that maybe not everyone is into. Especially UK people. But I love this clip from the 1970s movie Convoy. I love the song Convoy. I love the trucks in this clip and everything about it. I know it's not Devonshire Tea in the Cotswolds (which I love too-one day) but to me is just so cool.

Still regretting selling my Merc. A 1985 W126 380SE.
Hola Dude.
Good to 'see' you again.
I really feel I must make mention of the Mighty Potters who are having something of a 'mare at the moment, to say the very least - but it's rather endearing, very amusing and so typically 'Stoke' that we're sticking with Na[y]th - for now, anyway.
He's such a cracking bloke (even if he doesn't have a clue at times) that you can't help but wish him all the good will in the world!
Up The Mighty Nathan Jones Potters!

Alun, you may be interested to hear that The Count himself visited my workplace the week before last.
I wasn't about at the time but saw he had been in.
He must have been on a 'mission' to Na[y]th!

I've had 3 different models myself and love them.
I'm still in contact with Joel by text but he can't get on the forum presently.
As he says himself, Betfair will surely soon realise the error of their ways when they realise the millions of bucks they're missing out on because he's not able to post his CUP tips anymore!

Amazing result! An Aussie horse wins. Just as we're all a bit sick of foreign horses coming down here and winning the Cup an Aussie bred trained and owned horse gets the chocolates. The Cup has basically lost the interest of serious punters because it's impossible to compare the formlines and preparations.
It is a monumental p1ss up for anyone interested in it visiting as a tourist.

Jeff Lynne's ELO did a televised concert on Radio 2 earlier on tonight and it's being repeated on the BBC red button on loop at the moment (601 terrestrial)
Most convivial.

Andrew (Greedy) Smith from Mental As Anything has died of a heart attack a age 63. The Mentals just an absolute soundtrack to Aussies of my age very sad to hear of the passing of Greedy who by all reports was about the nicest bloke you'd ever meet.

Altered Images - Happy Birthday

I play this in celebration of my birthday which is today. (obviously). I haven't had many birthdays. I'm the oldest looking teenager you'd ever see.
One bet one win today my best mate back in the 1980s trained Alligator Blood winning the Australian Guineas. 11 starts 10 wins. He only lost once because he thought he'd won and eased up at the line.

Disappointed Qld lost the Rugby but you can't win 'em all.
The wife made me a roast beef with lettuce tomato beetroot and cheese sandwich on white bread which I ate while we watched Coronation St. That was lovely. And I had a 300ml chocolate milk after.
Hang on a sec. That's basically what I do every day!
