Yeah.

In nineteen eighty six, I was a really I just finished school a cry tech yep ac DC opened up the cry Really that was the opening band.

You're kidding. In nineteen eighty six, the Acadaca was down there at Caria.

Yeah, there was a little fantastic.

And where they perform inside the shopping center.

Yeah.

I got speak to Bond, Scott and the young brothers, everybody.

Well, and how many people would have been like a massive crowd bears.

Yeah.

There was a few gangs, the Cryer Boys and all aim boys. You know, we all had gangs back then. Things were a bit different as to what they are now.

Well, there was still sort of what'd you say, a gang? Yeah, what constituted a gang back in the seventies into the eighties. Well, were you walking around with machete?

Of course not.

We didn't carry a knife. We used their fists.

And how did that work out for everybody in the day, Bears.

Well, if you've got to smack in the mouse, you got to smack in the mouse, and you've got to live to the next day, you know.

Yeah, And but not that we not that we endorse that at all, by the way.

Bez, Yeah, I loved it. I lived to cry for eighteen years and I shited to North Gelong and I love it here. We've got a few problems with some bikey gangs. But I spent two years in prison. I didn't go to prison until ninety eight, until I was sixteen years old.

For hell. So you did a couple of years, Bess.

Yeah, I spent it with the Common Ceros and Ben Dodo's Fins motorcycle Club. Even meet some of the Hell's Angels.

And so was that new to you to meet those people because you're going to meet them in prison.

Yeah, I was fantastic, the best guys I've ever met.

I ran two.

Units, one called Fishburn West and the other called sal Amanda. But they gave me that right to do that through respect.

Yeah, did you you never got inducted, have no time for that, no time for reduction. Did you ever ride a bike?

Oh?

Yes, so I was in the walmlocks for years.

Oh there you go. Some great stories there, Bass good and you thank you for joining us and kicking it off for us this morning. Everybody has a great story, don't they look at the text already coming in. If you're sending you me, you can do that as well. Zero four double seven six nine three six nine three. You talk about that hold Halt memorial, Tony Maker, the pool had a high dive, Yes it did. Tout heated

I think the.

Old pool, the heated pool, if you like. I don't think that came on board at the Harold Holt until I'm going to say early part of the seventies. Stand to be. But somebody will confirm that one way or the other. The very famous Harold Holt Memorial, which is still her hysterical name for a swimming pool for those who know a bit about the history of mister Harold Holt, Prime Minister Harold Holt. One double three six nine three.

Good morning, Tony. Now I want to tell you about in the early days they're down in the country. If you had a dispute with a bloke, what happened one gang against the other? Well, there's all fisticuffs like the other fellow seat. But if somebody pulled a knife, well the knife is sort of come from the newcomers that come into the country. But prior to that there was no knife. But if you pull a knaf that's a sign of a coward.

Were you in a gang, Yeah.

Well.

If you pull the k off, they'll all pounds on him at the end of that. Now we've got loves with machetes. But they might have a gang, but they only pick on one or two or three people. And it's definitely not right. And this is a new wave and I don't really go along with it.

No, well, of course, I don't think anybody really goes along with it. Thank you very much for that reminds me of the great song whether you want to be a my gang man, gang, my gang, you want to be a my gang? Of course he no longer gets in the airplay anyway. Tone just turned twenty one years old. That year was nineteen eighty six, just turned twenty one, lived in Briar Close, Narry Warren. Thank you for that. Margaret from Endeavor Hills, good morning to you. Thank you

Good morning and Jay, Now, wasn't it David from Mount Waverley's birthday, the one that made your introduction thing.

Many happy returns to a David. He's already sent a little email. Many happy returns, David in Mount Waverley. Yes, he wrote the lyrics for our opening song and then fed it into the machine and people seem to really embrace it, which is lovely.

Well, all the best from Jim and I to David. And he also made a thing for me anyway, you reminded me about the pool that a lot of closed down, but may just reminded me. I've got to tell Nathan many not many years ago, about nineties, early nineties, I DJ the Pilot's party in their hostess and they were going amuck in the pool.

They were doing what in the.

Pool naughties, I won't say, Well, usually imagination and yeah, well yes, yes, I've said it all before, but I did think I'd end up dejaying a function like that.

It's funny.

We should write a book out of things we saw when we were young so called presenters at parties around Australia, certainly your case in mind around Melbourne, in people's homes where you'd set up the turntables, have the sound system. I was working for a blow called Andrew Noble mobile disc goes and you'd set them up and the party would go crazy, and then during the summer months people would end up in the pool.

It's funny.

I've got an ultimate song for Julie for a pool twisting by the pool din straight.

Yeah, I mean, what a great track that is. Are do you go and write that book?

I should?

Things you've seen in a swimming pool? Good work? Thank you. In Mini bitsly and.

Morning Morning, Tony and Jay, you said can I cover three topics?

Please?

Sure you can cop because many is your likely and it's open line part of the Australia Overnight Program.

Firstly, did you say lead singer turning eighty today?

You would say it was John. It is the great John Foggery. Can you believe it?

He is eighty four year water And if you look at.

You look at their amazing body of work there. And what's the one album that many would have had going back into the seventies when that was released?

One? I don't know what it was called. No, no, it was Cresent, but I don't know what it was called.

I'll give you the initials of the title of the album c.

F Yeah, no, won't come to you see one of the most defining albums of our life.

Had many ways.

And second topic nineteen eighty six, I was living in Rena Street, BONDI. I had my twenty first day. Oh yeah, and my mom got me a stripper. I always meant to get it back, didn't.

So your mother gave you a stripper.

Got me a striper. She paid for a stripper to come for my money.

First what sort of a stripper at your twenty first?

A male?

Oh you didn't say that a male stripper?

Wow?

Well, well I didn't know. I just asked the questions.

So my name.

Was so your mother, how many people did you have there at the birthday party?

Over one hundred?

So one hundred of your closest friends. And so your mom says, look for you were a twenty first, there's a stripper coming out. The stripper will arrive around about ten o'clock. And everybody thought, oh, that's a really good idea for a twenty first.

Oh, she didn't tell anyone. She didn't tell me. She nearly let it slip the day before, but she didn't. I mean, who's that coming down the hallway?

Oh?

I went duck for cover?

Who's that coming down the hallway?

And I worked at the SCG doing AFL matches, Rugby League Grand Final and a Ruby Union test.

And you had work. Well more importantly, I'm interested, who has one hundred people at their twenty first.

Oh, we had a like a semi detached house rental. I invited a hundred people and I think they all came fantastic.

Was there any was there any wine there?

Oh?

There was lots of alcohol, lots of a thousand bucks of alcohol and a stripper. Well, yeah, Mum bought the stripper. I always meant to get it back and send one to her work, but I never did. And the third topic, what was your third topic?

I have no idea now. I just chewed him out, Leon.

I don't remember myself, but.

Yeah, look, yeah it was.

It was how I wanted my twenty first to be the traditional at home. And I got glory about some of the stuff I'm still using to this day.

A little glory box. No good on you. It's always good to talk to you, Lee. And I just wonder how many people had a glory box. I know we had one at home. Sorry, keep hitting that with my glasses, forgive me. We had a glory box. Mum had a glory box. And it was all did you have one of those at home, Jay, with mum and dad? Or do you have one now for the kids. So those early dresses and christening gowns and things, we're all preserved in this thing called a glory box. Glory box.

Yes, and yeah, my little daughter's got one. She's getting her glory box together.

It's great and just like all those precious little things. A collection of trinkets and stuff. It's great to see, most of which now ends up on antiques and collectibles, which we'll be here just after two o'clock this morning. Harold hot Memorial Swimming Center public swimming pool complex, located corner of High Street Edgar Street, Melbourne, Australia, Built in the sixties by the Australian architects Ballland and Darryl Jackson,

Wine we might have some. Bubbles and that was risky enough in. Itself and then around about ten, o'clock if you could just arrange for a stripper to, arrive that would be really.

Good one more thing about the public.

POOL i let us go to a public pool that always say the quorum wasn't, Ruskin and the Thing i'll say was.

Movie but we'll let you go because AGAIN i don't know what happens sometimes when you get on the, Phone i'm, Sorry, perte the phone just gets really.

Lyrics jeffy And lade.

Morning good morning to you, Too.

Jeff you want to get a, thrill listen to Him bruce in his group and doing pretty.

Warm, Yeah i've seen it not long. Ago, REALLY i had a look at it and it comes up for some, reason comes into the feed and you think of the two of them, Together what an extraordinary piece that.

Was.

Yep but before, then many years, ago AND i can't remember how long it, was he was With kerry O'Brien on his, own just an acoustic and they had a bit of a chat and then he played one of the big ones AND i cannot remember which. One it was so long, ago back in the, EIGHTIES i. Suppose but, hell he doesn't need a group belong.

Him, No AND i never saw. Him i've never seen him, play BUT i know he did a lot of The there was a time during the early two. Thousands my recollection is he did quite a few shows Around, australia many of which were in when it was really cool and trendy to do wineries and things so you would do that as a solo.

Act, yeah, well having heard him one of The, barcans it was just he did not need. Anybody, no it was just.

Phenomenal but it's, always it's, always, REALLY i mean you AND i that Perhaps jeff that followed music and many in this audience that love music coming up through the fifty, sixty seventies and. Eighties and then you read that those people had these almost disputes inside their. Organizations sting had. It sting talks about in the PODCAST i was listening to a couple of days, ago and then that dispute with.

He couldn't have gone any higher than one position because the beetles knocked him off beating the number, one three or four tracks in a. ROW i don't if you remember.

That that would have been what in the very early, seventies even though The beatles were on their way down well and truly by, then weren't.

They oh, no, no The medals were still going.

Strong that's how long ago in nineteen seventy, oh.

Before The meddles Went Psycher.

Melik That Cosmos factory album was released in sixty. Nine they Did Proud mary in nineteen sixty, nine but That Cosmos factory ALBUM i think was released In i'm just going to make SURE i get that. Right Maybe i've got that, wrong But i'm going to say it was around about seventy seventy, one nineteen seventy For Cosmos.

Factory, WELL i, knows at LEAST i.

THINK i.

Know it's so long. Ago i'm not, sure But i'm sure it was the first three or four tracks.

They made it to number.

TWO i never got to number. One The beatles knock them. Off there were three or four times in a.

Row it was really it was going to be always very hard to beat The beatles in that late, sixties you, know for anything they, did because even if it wasn't particularly fantastic and ninety nine, percent but it was. Fantastic it was going to go hard in the charts to get you, know and get the same level of airplay and because The beatles were still going along. Beautifully good on Your, jeff thank you for. That leo on the? Road where are you In?

Mickleham, YES i had a drop off there And i'll tell you. What i've been there a couple of. Times and it's a surprising. Areas it's actually growing quite.

Quickly australia that don't know Exactly michelam is. Weird.

Leo, okay you part through the airport eventually do a left From, sunbury so it's up By. Sunbury but it's we've got that's a new area and it's growing really really, fast and, think, yeah it's a nice. AREA i, Mean i'm. Surprised how nice is it. Is it's been it's well looked. DESIGNED i think it's going to be an upcoming suburb very, shortly.

So not as far out as mass did it of, course, no, no, no.

No way before it's about say thirty outcome a clamus from the. Airport twenty thirty comes from the airport at the other, side, yes, yes but again not quite a sort of right to the left of.

Summary so The mickelum post office opened in the first Of february and eighteen sixty two and then closed in nineteen sixty. Seven to the west, locally The Conde gata office open in nineteen. Thirty settlement took place At Deep creek but closed in Twenty so it's a really interesting

Exactly there you.

GO a good area to get especially for a new.

HOME i would recommend it seriously Because i've been there a few times And i've been quite.

Surprised what else is on the road There this, Morning, leo it's fairly.

Quiet BUT i mean it's a, winter it's, raining and plus It's tuesday. Night not many people go Out tuesday. Nights but, yeah it's Been. YEAH i picked up this couple from the it was at the. Hospital then they have been there since five. Pm they're finally going. Home that's HOW i got To.

Nicklam so.

So they've been, there they've been in the seven hours in the hospital. Exactly all, right good to talk to. You stay. Safe it's nice to have a bit of, Rain. Leo probably haven't had enough really where it's desperately so desperately needed In victoria and certainly parts Of South australia as. Well so you see those reports now on the news last night which you would have, noticed no. Doubt it's really.

Jimmy oh, yeah, yeah, yeah it's better now you're just talking about the, Cigarette.

Better than What, jimmy.

What's that you?

Said it's better?

Now, yeah there's sudden.

Round.

Yeah how you get mucking your?

You just maybe you draw the right way and it clears it up for a, minute you can hear Probably.

Yeah.

Yeah have you ever smelt fringe? Cigarettes?

Oh they were it starts with jesu or.

Gar, yeah.

That was so, potent, vile vile and.

That, YEAH i am did you, Say, dennis well BEFORE i get onto, that WHICH i THOUGHT i heard you say BEFORE i heard you say before about that held a whole memorial, pool. Yep now the irony of.

It, yeah it's just it was a weird thing really when you think about, it that he went missing down a portsy allegedly, drowned although some say it was a submarine that came in The. Chinese, yeah blame. Somebody, however and then and then his name was used for this beautiful swimming still known as The Herald Wholt Memorial Swimming.

Pool it's like the Accident Appreciation squad a little bit used to investigate the fatal. Accidence then they un till they renamed.

It it's the.

Accident that was irony, too Wouldn't, YEAH i mean.

Weird when you think about, it some of those strange, names when you could probably do a whole program just on strange names of various organizations over the. YEARS i THOUGHT i heard.

You say, Before Dennis wilder earlier on that you're going to talk about greyhound, tracks.

Greyhound, tracks because fascinating greyhound. TRACKS i had written down a greyhound track because because because why what DID i see about? Greyhounds the, FIRST i think it, was the very first greyhound track meeting was held on this day in nineteen twenty. Seven where would you imagine that may have?

BEEN i would Say england Or ireland because he's Called.

Coursing, no very first greyhound track meeting In australia are In.

Australia, yeah god, knows could be.

Anywhetter it Was Harold, park but it wasn't known As Hall park in those. Days it was called The Epping Racecourse Epping racecourse and then Became Harold park and the year was nineteen twenty.

Seven have you ever seen film of greyhounds riding The i'm, sorry of monkeys riding the? Greyhound, no you'll get a food out of.

It.

Really claire was before made, clear started going on about greyhounds or greyhound checks one night AND i rang him up and, said you ever seen that he? Was he was morey was sitting there with his mouth open and then in this leaf type of. Thing and THEN i thoroughly researched.

It and.

Vern that was a bit of fun that ladies and. Gentlemen may be the Final Vern Announcer, quiz hopefully.

Had father had, Them, yes my grandfather had.

Them but you've never, said, oh by, myself a nice pair Of. Coutholics no rag cufflings for. Me things No. KATHOLICS i wonder if there's anybody listening right now that either did wear and still continues to wear when dressing up and going out for, blokes a lovely pair of. Cufflinks and where would you buy kaflings, now really smart. Kufflics do you Buy maya or do you go to one of the great men's wear. STORES i don't, Know Sandra ring went morning.

MORNING i don't wear, cufflinks, no, No but WHEN i go to the, opera you, KNOW i like to dress.

Up but.

That's still well and truly a thing when you go to those beautiful opera shows that YOU i.

Do but STILL i find that some people don't don't get dressed, up and GET i get a bit, Disappointed but you, know it's just just an occasion WHERE i like to look like. Best you, know it's just just a tradition with.

ME i GUESS i think there was a thing about even when you went to, theater certainly very early days of going to the, cinema you would make an effort to get dressed up to, go especially in the, evening maybe not so much during you, know for a, matinee how many people get dressed for.

Anee my mom tells, me you know when when it was a real, occasion like when when they were, kids you, know when they went to it like hearing the, DEPRESSION i, mean you, know because they couldn't really afford to go out a, lot but when they went to the cinema and things like, that it was a real. Occasion so they got really dressed up in their, fineness you, know and went and you, know like and when they went to, church they got they got dressed up and put on

LITTLE i, mean we live in a more casual, ENVIRONMENT i, suppose and you can still you can. Wear in, fact there was something in the, PAPER i think over the weekend and they made the distinctions in the paper between getting very dressed, up you, know like a formal black

Suit, yeah well that's, right But.

I'm no longer going to wear a suit at three o'clock in the. Morning let me tell.

YOU i think it's a bit disappointing if, somebody like somebody wears to the to the, opera wears a pair of jeans with the news.

Coat and things like, that well they might be a bit too cool for, school, Really, SANDRA i think so it's too cool for.

School Maybe i'm sounding a bit like a, snob BUT i just draw the line at that a.

Bit, WELL i, mean you are you are what you wear in many many, ways aren't.

You, OH i think? So, yeah, yeah that's.

Right that the old expression you are what you wear and you are quite often you are what you. Drive, no that's not. Right you are what you wear and you are your. Car so if you think about the state of your, car what is currently the state of your, car and there's a pretty good correlation between the state of your car and how your life is. Going that's.

Right and, listen what's your football?

Team Melbourne Mighty Demons Melbourne Football, club oldest team in the. Game they're doing.

Well they sworted my team on the.

Web i'm, Sorry, Sandra, oh it's all.

RIGHT i Mean i've given up The swans this. Year there they couldn't beat my OLD braini this year.

What they couldn't beat your old?

Grannie, yeah well.

You Know i've got this, expression they couldn't beat my old brannie with two hands tied Behind its.

Fantastic i've not heard that, before COULD i don't think so IF i haven't forgotten about. It there was a wonderful. CALLER i don't know where the listeners Across, australia it would be just it was a Great it was a great call To Dennis walter's. Program they were talking about dance songs and just wonderful dance songs and one of the, CALLS i think it Was, helen who said along the lines of, Gee i'll tell you. What you could go to the, guillotine lose your head and still dance to that. Song,

That that's a.

Topic, well you know old. Expressions it's really really.

Lovely, yeah.

Body used to have some great old.

Expressions you, know we should do. That we'll write that down for a future. Topic that is, great, wonderful wonderful. Expressions perhaps we no longer use mcc doesn't allow. JEANS i don't think it, was certainly not in the long. Room you can still wear denim into the into the. Area we just can't get into the into the long. Room we'll do, This Rick, milton not Far Away, cool The, CUPLINKS i think they. Were i'm gonna say it was

Milne, musically you've gone from the sublime to the, RIDICULAR i know in many many.

Ways do you remember that the old thing of The kathlinks the late, sixties ninety sixty or sixty, nine.

Think do you know there was a group in the fifties called The. Kafflinks before that version they did the Song johnny o'keef covered Called So, tough and they were called the Kup links really In.

Australia, no they Were.

American they were a vocal, group and they were called The. Kafflins there you.

Go so there was because that band there THAT i played Was, american The. Kufflinks, yeah well this.

Is the Couple links from i'd say the fifties and it was called So, Tough she's So.

Tough, okay we'll, see we're can Find.

Johnny o'keef did a cover version of.

It he.

Did how about that very nice piece of. Information did you do you ever Wear katholics or did you once Wear? Catholics?

No, NO i didn't. NEVER i do know some Old jesus used to WHEN i WHEN i started, working there were a couple of old fellows that wore those. Cufflings hang, on what.

Do you what do you mean? Old get? Off the get off the THE i can't, NO i can't say.

That don't you wore couplings.

Up until up until three o'clock this? Afternoon is that?

Right and of course you had a beard as well on the younger, days didn't.

You, yeah back in the beller. Days But i've forgiven myself for. That but the kufflings is a lovely. Thing if you buy the right, shirt wear the, coufflings it is still a joyous, thing particularly if you you, know if you have black tie. Events great.

The ones THAT i, remember, now what do they call those expanded expandix things that you used to put on your upper arms.

Got them as?

Well them what were they?

Called they were called hispanix things that you put on your upper.

Arm somebody will, know somebody out there is going to be able to tell, us because what used to. Happen you put them on so that your sleeves wouldn't get ink on. Them if you were you, know you worked at a at a desk in an office or somewhere and did everything was done by hand in those, days way before computers and, all and people used to put those on to kind of keep their sleeves out of the.

It that's. Right so if the sometimes your shirt sleeve could be a little too long or unnecessarily, long and so it would be pulled up and it would just grasp it at the you, know at that muscle level just above the, elbow and it was usually in the banking, industry it.

Was you're quite right about.

That, NO i just made that bit. Up so the banking. Industry AND i think also those those, bookies some of those bookies would have worn that at the time as. Well and great great. Journals that was a very journal.

Thing.

Yep AND i remember my granddad used to wear them and he was a stock station agent for the.

Auctions, yes how about.

THAT i wonder what those things were. Called somebody will be able to tell us what a word for. Them AND i can't have The vegas idea what the word, is but somebody will know those sort of expander things that you put on your upper arms or the men did not the women of, course but that's what the men used to do in those.

Times, WELL i think the women in the day had other things that they were.

Were tucking themselves from different different to to. Day we won't going to find detail because we've got other things to talk, about haven't we we.

Do let's go To helen first. Morning, helen thank you for joining us With Rick.

Milner, yes, okay, yeah, Look, Rick i'm virtually on the same. Subject men's.

Clothes my father had a.

Leather collar.

Box, yes do you know.

Those, YEP i do.

The collars who were, Separate they were they were separate into the shirt and you actually had to fix them to the. Shirt, yes that's.

Right.

Now my father was born in nineteen twenty, one so you can probably work out when he started to wear these collared. Shirts, yes.

That's, right twenty. One you would be right about it would have when it was about twenty twenty. One, yep about nineteen forty somewhere.

There.

Yeah you've still got the collar, box have.

You i've got it in.

Storage.

Yeah they're quite not quite cute little boxes they. Were there were, leather almost always, leather and they had a little sort of a catch on them to keep them kick them. Closed and these days i'd reckonciland around about fifty. Dollars it's got some collars, too does?

It?

Collars and it was quite, solid, yeah, yeah.

But it was was it leather?

Yours, yes, yep, yep about with you've got some collars in there as. Well you might get seventy five to one hundred.

Beautiful it's just it's just a, curiosity isn't.

It.

Yeah, Yeah i've seen a few of them over the, time and some of them makes you had the word color collars on the on the.

Box, yeah so how about, That.

Helen that's a good, question very.

Much, sure well, Done. Helen and my memory is THAT i bought a shirt many years. Ago mum must have bought it for.

ME i.

Reckon it was probably a shirt that you would actually button it into the top of the shirt you take it off and to have that what was often referred to as a grandpas. Shirt, look but you could remove the. Collar.

Yep that's exactly how it was in the old.

Days.

Exactly they were all that. Way shirts did not have. Collars there were most thing when.

You think about, it, yeah the old grandpa, shirt and then when the collars came. In even up until recently some SHIRTS i found there was and you can still Buy unpresumably you get those bones in that would slip inside the collar of say good white, shirt just to keep it very very. Straight once your tie was.

Done that was.

It that was.

It you're.

Right i'm not never been much of a, Time and that's the REASON i wouldn't wear couplings BECAUSE i don't wear those kind of clothes like you. Do you dress, up you, SEE i don't dress up so.

Much thank you for.

Sharing we'll do, This we'll do this when we come. Back kevin joined us on the program with A Rick. Milner what were you? Wearing what are you?

Wearing?

Now sounds a bit dodgy, really one double three six nine. Three it was a called, Garter trucker said was a call to garter that the blokes used to wear around there at the top of their elbow to keep the shirt. Up, NO i don't think it was called a. Garter no is the. Answer i'm going to give more of your

Sleeve. GARTER i remember at school we used to wear garters on our socks to keep our socks.

Up we, did and school socks we. Did in, Fact i'm wearing them. Now the elastic bands that men wore in their arms to adjust shirt sleeve length were called sleeve, garters and the garters were primarily used to prevent the cuffs from getting soiled while, working to you, know keep them, nice including entirety for special. Occasions there we, go leave garb And i've got lots of. Text also pretty much the same, thing the rand band near the top of

Morning, well, no we call them aumbands WHERE i come.

From did you just armbands that were worn like what? Material did you say it was rick.

Kind of kind of like was metallic expanding?

Expanding, yeah it's silvery thing looking for? Them, yes, yes, armbands that's what we called.

Them and how would you have them? Used if you, know did women USE i used.

To use armbands and my daughter still uses, them and she still uses couplings because she shows.

Horses of, course it's part of the.

Addressage, well, yes you have to have a different sort of. Coupling to wear. Couplings you have to have different holes in your in your.

Shirt, yes great history about.

She still wears them so she she knows how to put them, on.

And presumably for Competition. Pauline, oh, yes.

Competition people don't even know how to tire.

Tie there's only one way to Tire Pauline, college.

Not either either plane or a windsor.

Not, well that's. Right the distinction between the windsor and the college would.

Be, yeah WELL i wore a tie all the way through, school and THEN i will are tie. Riding SO i don't write, now of, course but, yes that's a great.

Call isn't. It so there you, go and the, tie and even the tie is to no longer quite the thing that it once.

Was, Rick you notice now that a lot of the people on on THE v shows and, said, well they don't wear tires now they. Were they were a jacket nut open shirt for the way tie is going going the way of the of the top. HALF i suppose you might tell you corum pans is HOW i remember them now that now the plan is mentioned it that's HOW i remember. Them some people said.

Garters garters have got a lot of, texts so they were referred to as a garters and sometimes. Suspenders it's not the same.

Thing it's a very different.

Thing burn good, Morning.

Good, morning tiny And Ricky.

Ricky, however how can we HELP.

I, UH.

I do recall that they are an armed, band the same as what the lady, said an arm. Band and when when you were dipping your pen in the ink, well it keeps your sleeves out of of.

Course, oh that's a very good. Point we actually talked about the ink wells the other, day and that was always a made you. Concerned going to, School you're learning to do the ink well and you dip the ink into the thing that was at the top of the, desk and or a fountain pen later, on if you were lucky enough to be a place where that fountain. Pens we had an ink, monitor we. DID i was, one you were WHAT i, was an ink. MONITOR i feel like those bloody things every single.

Morning the secret of your success because it relates to.

Mean it's probably where it. Started, YEAH i had delusions of grandeur then AND i still. Haven't one double three six nine three is our telephone. Number plenty room on the. Board you'll get. Through let's move away from Garters. All that was another grade show, too wasn't all gas and, gators, yeah or gut and, gardens all gats and gart all gas and all gass here it was grade. Show let's have a look at some pikies that you've sent. Through the first one is a.

Hat.

Yeah, now this is.

Put out by a company CALLED, ot which was a run based drink and they didn't say, so but it. Was and the idea was keep your warm in, winter you, know when you go to the footy and have a bit of a sip OF, ot which would certainly warm as all. Right so there's one From South, bendigo which is rather, unusual you don't see those very, often but probably worth five hundred and one from some team Called.

Did pop play? For did he also play? For he played For melbourne And West.

Perth he may, have he may, have but he certainly played For. Melbourne and the next Item i've got is a nineteen to twenty eight membership garden that's also From. Melbourne is there a theme?

HERE i think there may well be a theme AND i appreciate.

That.

Yes and then there's also A melbourne banner from nineteen thirty nine which they won the premiership in that. Year so there are a few Little melbourne items there for no particular, reason BUT i just thought i'd sort of.

Sneaking in AND i please, you and please you shared we'll do this break when we come back, here we'll

Tie true, enough true enough it. Was AND i grew up in the, bush SO i was a country. Boy and they we certainly both both sexes war. Tied, sure, yep they did very much, so AND i, think, WELL i don't think it happened to. ANYMORE i don't know did you do the?

Winds did you do the windsor or what was often referred to as the college, version which was one swing as opposed to the two. SWINGERS i, think.

Oh wasn't good enough to do the winter that were too hard for, me too. HARD i don't think it was long. Enough that's that AS i. REMEMBER i mean we had there we had a four colored full colored, tie which were the four. Houses you, know though they had these various you'd be belonged to one house or. Another there were. Four so there was a, red, green, yellow and. Blue so they were the colors of the.

School, well you know how they often say everything old is new. AGAIN i wonder how long it will be before there is a trend back in a major way to bow.

Ties and they are pretty nifty at. THAT i mean you do see them, occasionally you, know you do see them, occasion and they do look pretty. Nifty in, fact one of, our one of, ours the young one had he they did a dead whatever they call those things you can and they bore the bow Ti he looked spectacular.

Color it's a lovely.

Thing and was it a clip on or did he do? It was it a hand?

TIE i would imagine it probably was because he wouldn't know how to do. It, otherwise you, know you have you've got to be pretty. Good, well you could have helped, Him were you?

Good, yeah, LOOK i actually got quite. Good AND i don't know THAT i could do it. Now but there was a time during The i'm thinking late, eighties early part of the, nineties maybe like many of, us we had a bit of a fascination with with ties and And i'm not too sure why not important to the. Story and then you learned to do a bow.

Tie, wow you're just plenty of plenty of you got plenty of bows to Your you've got, seven that's. Right whatever you call that.

Thing that expression thank you in the lot of? Quills, ye something like.

That how about?

That?

Now i'm just looking at this is really. Interesting this is a copy of the footy, Record Ferdy, Record Ferdy, record he.

Was and then it's from nineteen twenty, nine and it's for the, final in other, words what they would call these days the preliminary. Final and in that case it was played and this doesn't Feature melbourne for. Change this one was Between richmond And carlvin and it was won By, richmond who then played Against collingwood in The Grand final and it was the third of their four in a

COLLINGWOOD i love the expressions on the front of, this so it reads just AS i can share with the. Audience you look at this footy record a it cost a, threepence.

Yeah threepence.

Yes and then at the top of, it just above where it is referred to was the football. Record it then says under the patronage of The Victorian Football league is under the under the. Patronage.

Yeah the very very first year they put these, out which is nineteen hundred and, twelve their, slogan the slogan that was used for about the next ten years was fair play Is bonnie, Play, ah fair play Is bonnie. Play bonnie many very, good very very Very AND i actually have a few of those bound. Volumes they're pretty. Impressive bought those years and years and years.

Ago, jay what's right to the advertising product? Owner but of course it is right. Down there's a little ad FOR. Vb but the old label on THAT vb. Bottle it looks, fantastic it, does it.

Does, yes they were quite AND i might say that the Small footy, records even though from the, sixties are much preferable to the larger sized. Ones AND i think part of the reason was once we went to the larger size which we have, now people they cost more. Money people tended to keep, them whereas the early ones were pretty cheap and after the, game especially as the wet, day they just throw them on the, ground leave, them don't worry about. It but once they got a bit,

Right because my memory whether you went To collingwood or where they went out to where The bulldogs games in those, days are you to get the melways to find out how you got. THERE A, secondly there was this, mess see a bunch of litter leaving the ground it was just everywhere where there was beer cans all sorts of just left for somebody else to come and clean.

Up, yeah and the footy records as.

Well the footy records were just left on seats and on the. Ground.

Yep just. Amazing and that's just the. Way it was a bit of a change, now of. Course but in fact you don't see many people with the footy records now because you can get them on your phone and you do things other ways. NOW i think times have changed a bit AND i don't think they sell anywhere near as well as they might.

Have it was a great. Publication you always wanted to have at least one. Copy if you're going as a, family you'd have at least, one usually two versions to between mum and dad and the. Kids it was just a lovely thing to be able to, do to look where your, team where your players were going to, be and you know the list who was, in who was at and who was playing in the, twos, yes who who Was.

Well it's still the, case of, COURSE i mean they send them back everything of the and they'll send a player back to pick up his form in the, reserves and they might have done it with your full. Forward AS i, remember they put him in the twos for a week or two and did him no. Harm he's come back and kicked a. Few so there we, are and my boys are doing all. Right so everybody's.

Happy everybody's pretty. Happy we'll do this break and hopefully get some. Calls here we go one double three six nine. Three Rick milks, here come and join us thee of the side On australia.

Top, shops no of course they.

Wouldn't have so what you're, Telling, is marlene that the idea of blokes wearing suspenders goes back a long. Long way oh.

Yeah it socks didn't with no elastic tops. On them they used to creep down to your ankle sort. Of things so and you would see beers skin between the top.

Of, yourself yeah and there's nothing that was, a no na. It was and there's nothing worse than when you've got long pans and for whatever reason, you shop you've a socks fall down and you've got this massive gap between the end of your trouser leg and.

Separate, schools well there's the co ed version and then there's the, single file not a? Single file what's the expression when you were just a

OF.

Reasons a you were out of the, school uniform so it was really just having to wear a suit and tie to school like a, very young upstart, BUSINESS person i guess in. That sense but it was quite empowering us, my recollection and you got to meet and hang out with people of the, opposite sex which is pretty much a normal part, of life and it was. Really engaging it. Was fun and some of the FRIENDS that i have today were people WITH whom i had. The play you're

And he's done he's got. It all wrong you've got to have, two, fifty, paces, yes yes, yes that's it and you run your fingers down the two fifty paces down the side, of the glass so you're not. Touching. The, Glass ah yes so you've got to have two, fifty cent? Paces, Not one.

Right and so what advantage does? That give you because you're still whilst you're not touching the, glass, per se, right.

That's right you're not. Touching the glass you are touching the fifty cent paces and you can and you just slide the two fifty paces down with your your thumb and your indack spinner and you're not actually touching the glass and you drink the water and. Then fifty bucks.

And so how do you drink the water by lifting the glass presumably but still holding a fifty cents on either side, Of, the glass yes.

With your index fender.

And your.

THUMB very good i hope that's going to go home straight home this morning and give. That, a try.

To, forgive, me no please.

There's nothing there. BUT don't worry i just wondered how many of your listeners are really aware of.

What happened there so when you are, we talking now.

You remember when we had the ten years of below rainfall and the. Detail was, built of course was back in The Days when John Howard, was prime minister and we had a, Local Member. Here john forrest. He was fantastic he. Was really good he wasn't a great media, man or, anything but yeah he was an engineer by trade and our federal member and he pushed and pushed and pushed to get. This thing built because the water that we were getting on stock and domestic was all open channel and it was.

Very low levels and it.

Was, rubbish water anyway they built this pipeline or pipelines that went right Through the wimrom maley area and the northern areas Came from the murray and the southern areas Came. From the grampians and now we've got this wonderful supply of water stock and domestic and. It's just, FANTASTIC it goes i believe. It a lot the pipes go nearly. That every paddy. It's just place we've got. Eight tapping

To, DO things yeah i think that's. A GOOD point and i know The boys In breakfast At ross and russell Three at, w bricky yesterday we're alluding to that about how we given that there is, so much water certainly North of the victorian border that why haven't we Been able to and the same thing a, similar situation too, by The way in way where all the water is north of The state and perth. Not so much why haven't we been able to build those great pipelines to

Hello hello tony where?

Have?

You, been okay oh could be.

A bit better. I call Something i think i'm catching these things from this ice CARE place because i go. There, every, Day yeah anyway i've had scabies of. What you, do, but anyway yes there's always somebody with from where the section. My mother's At there's always they've always got this hygiene paraphernalia one or. Other door, that But anyway yesterday i'll tell you what they were going to give my mother panadol because, she was itchy REALLY and truly i don't

It over, to my brother who makes who's? Made that decision is that you? Making? That, decision oh, No, no.

Way no, it's the management because they do not like anybody who to fear in whatever they. Want to do that's what it basically. Bores down, to but anyway it is, such a. Crazy CRAZY place if i had a more convenient place, to put her and just a lot of places, have closed down these careless facilities. In this area and the only reason she's still there after six and a half years is because. IT'S very convenient i Could go past coles. And all words. It's very convenient that's basically.

Why laura is that a lack of staff or of training or why? Do, YOU feel well.

I Don't know they i'd play the majority. Absolutely, The income boops i'm. Not being nasty i'm. Just they're not they're just.

Not all give me an example, when you say give me an example of how you were characterize that or what? Do they say what do they do that with? Would you disagree they can see that.

She's she's. Scratching she's itchy she's, even saying itchy itchy that they want to. Give a, peddle.

You know she may.

EVEN have scapies. I don't know they haven't done any. Testing on her but so has she not?

Seen a doctor do they not have does she not, have you know the ability to. See, a doctor ah they're part.

OF the problem i wouldn't say, They're second mate, i'd, SAY that sorry.

I missed that so doctors are part.

Of the problem the.

Doctors who, SERVICE these facilities i think they're part of the problem really because, tell you what they are. VERY ordinary individuals i don't know where they.

Get them from but, it, seems that well law are there doctors They, Practice in victoria. They practice Medicine so it's i'm just wondering why why you would dismiss them. On that basis you can't assume that.

They're all poor surely we need a doctor to ascertain that she's. Got a niche she's, not, in pain, really and truly. This happens commonly if, she calls out, She, cries out oh she must.

Be, in pain no she was.

Just very.

Itchy, she suffers look they gave her a shower about. Two months ago really and truly that was about the last time she.

Had a shower, You're kidding me you.

Were.

Kidding, me no true you're saying that your mother in a care home has not had a bath. Or A, shower in europe. Can't have bath you hasn't had a shower for. Maybe eight weeks that's.

True because she's got dressings. On her legs when she's got dressings, on her legs they do not give. Them a shower they just get a towel, with hot water just wipe them down in. About thirty seconds. That's about it this is. Absolutely what happens thirty seconds to, wipe, them down quick wipe down with a well and in a bit. Of hot. Water that's. It it's true, I'm.

Not joking laura. This is dreadful have you spoken to?

The?

Management, there oh.

Yeah what can you never get undivided, Attention from this.

But they don't they're very.

Casual, about complaints yeah. They, know you look twenty two inquiries we've had, into, aged care right it's about as many Years And one royal, commission, and truly. Truly.

Very vague Laura i'm fortunate i've got, to LEAVE you but i find. It really disturbing if what you're, saying IS true and i don't hesitate, TO say that i. HOPE it's not i hope. It's not true but, if it is that. Is just dreadful what? IS the answer i guess? Is the question we throw open one double three six' nine. Three six pr, listeners you leave us will look forward to. Your company here tonight have plenty of. Room for your. Calls the other side games, in the

Morning Now This is Australia open. Eyes, with tony McManus.

Jimmy It must. Be your Wednesday Morning that Means Jimmy zabo from JACKIE Felgates three. At w, Drive, Program good morning.

Jimmy, Good Morning. To you tony mac it's always great to hear Your voice. On, a wednesday morning well.

Hell has freezen over we spoke about it on the program just a, couple of mornings, ago where we thought is that one of the all time great Titles Of An. Album hell freezes over.

It WOULD have, to be i reckon. That's the NUMBER one and am i mistaken in saying that that? Was nineteen ninety four it was.

A very good year i know you're going to say that it was. A, very, good, year.

Yes yes yes that.

Was my birth year.

Arrives In The.

World called jimmy's.

Correct what were you doing in nineteen ninety Four? Listening, to the beatles well.

At that stage newborn number two and firstborn was probably, three and a half so it was. A pretty chaotic time nineteen Ninety FOUR and Five, double a in adelaide one, of our, sister stations of Course For the Program What's Happening In your world Jimmy's abo on this wednesday morning here at, three out w.

Well a.

Few things you know i'm ALWAYS busy and sometimes i scroll THROUGH some emails and i Find SOME interesting garda and i, thought I'D ask you because i often come, to, you for advice sir what advice would you give to somebody entering adulthood from maybe age eighteen or, Even eighteen to thirty because some new datas come out right And

Of, Mowing the law yeah i'm with, you on that one just to get to behind the victor and whip it over and. Make it look, smart, it's a clean comfortable get, rid of the cuttings and you sort of feel as if you've. Achieved, something, REASONABLY quickly yeah.

Yeah i love it that's. Probably my, favorite one but yeah what piece of advice would you give to those people are struggling and they? Get a bit overwhelmed and? What would you say what's the what's the number one piece of advice that?

You'd?

Give, to somebody eighteen.

Well there's a great old song that, goes way way back welled to get a little, Dirt ON your hands, and i think metaphorically you've really got to get in there, and have a crack which means you've got to learn how to. Use a vacuum cleaner you've got to put your hands into the idea of working with flour and butter and maybe make yourself a. Great batch of scones and here's the thing. That we really love. Pick up your dishes don't leave them on the sink for your.

That's right you've got. To DO those things and i reckon you suck it up, and just do it and that's the. BEST way to learn a couple OF the tasks THAT i actually enjoy i. MENTIONED mowing the lawn i don't mind, taking the, BINS out you.

KNOW i don't know i.

Don't mind that one filling up the CAR is. ONE that i enjoy i don't. Mind doing, flat packs you know they're very overwhelming SOMETIMES when you go i care and you, get YOUR furniture out and i actually enjoyed. Doing the flat packs do you like? DOING the flat pack i?

Love doing, flat pack.

Come on flat packs we love.

Doing the, flat packs in fact when as soon as, you mentioned, the, brand ike no no it always. Resembles really hard, work we love them but it resembles a challenge. EACH and every time i think the idea, back in the day long before you, were brought as kids we would have like. An incinerator at home yea no. Longer a thing now your mum and dad would, Have had, An, incinerator i'm sure jimmy where you'd put all the leaves and all the stuff in and you'd have these Massive burnoffs.

Would have, been good that's SEE that's a TASK i reckon that i would. Have enjoyed as, well the one thing what's your number one thing that you hate? Other than flat packs because my one is wrestling a fitted. SHEET on the mattress i hate putting the fitted. Sheet on a mattress it is. MY number one thing i cannot stand doing the bed sheets and the fitted. SHEET on the mattress i. Just hate doing it what's you? What's, your number one yeah.

Big chick on that it can, be a bit clunky and there are some people. Who do IT effortlessly you and i may not be wort to do putting the dishes back after, the aforementioned dish washer to put them back. Into their right place and you know what happens after two days and you, realize that you, haven't or more importantly somebody in the shared house realizes that wasn't. In the right place you hear about it, twenty four hours later,

Right no that's right it's better not to do it in the end if you're. Going, to copy it.

Yeah and often. You do copy it. It's a great topic why don't we throw it, open. To the audience jimmy'sbo so the question is what is it that you sort of loved to doing around and what would you what advice would you give to an eighteen plus to, set them, up on you know in a pretty. Good, course, for Life Yes yes with jackie felgate. This Afternoon, from three jimmy zabo what Do? You, Got in stall well riche is Back. And so it's jackie she. Was sick

Little on the hands here's, the one for me. Which is just fantastic everybody you will ever meet. Knows something you don't everyone you will ever meet. Knows something you. Don't implivize this one it's just as interested in talking to and getting to know people like a CAR mechanic as a vip. Of, a big company learn strive to learn something from each and. Every person you meet it will take. Your calls as well what advice would you?

MORNING tony the Army i joined The army and the. ARMY changed my. Life i was nineteen was that.

At your discretion, Or the. Government's discression no.

Decision it was a NINETY seventy seven and i needed A future and the army.

Gave me that future how, Long?

DID you serve david, i only served.

Three but it's the three best. Years of my, life set me up set Me up for, what i'm doing now.

Which is a business and you don't think you would have got there with, That, THAT three.

Years no i don't not with the discipline and just all my skills that you need if you haven't got. Them in the military It's, Not Just, the Army.

Air force the.

Navy just do it.

You'll never regret, It, TELL you what david i reckon we could do with a bit more of that now were. Community, at the moment yes.

Every young person should spend at least a year. No going to war just get in The Army or the Air force or the navy and, learn for a year come out a much better person than. When You, went in h.

Well there could be. Another movement towards, That. Watch this space David. Thank, You As sam. Hello, Tony max Speaking.

Hi good morning tony my grandson turned fifteen yesterday and we would send a. Message by my daughter what advice would you give yourself if you could meet yourself?

THERE we go mate i think it's. A bit of pride i think a lot of kids nowadays don't take pride.

In what they do they just.

Go through the motions if you take a bit of pride, in what you're doing whether, it's doing the, dishes mung the, lawn making your. Bed whatever it is just take a bit, of pride in it a bit of self self gratification, for WHAT you're doing and i think your mind things. Happen a lot easier but they how do.

They generate, that for themselves though if they haven't got presumably as somebody who's inclined to instruct, them along those lines how do they generate that at, fourteen or twelve thirteen. FOURTEEN fifteen for themselves.

I think you've.

Got to start small just the little thing's good to, do little things well and then the bigger things get.

Easier, to do BETTER well that's What. I said to jimmy it's really about. Keeping your room tidy it's really about. Cleaning up after you don't leave your crap everywhere for someone else to come. Along and clean, UP and it starts i reckon. As simple as that probably is a five, to six year. Old if not, early if we don't if.

We don't start. Young, makes you old yeah, just a little bit have a bit of pride.

In what you do, Good on, your dale thank you we'll take some. More calls very surely we used, to Sing, the song, clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere, clean up clean up seeing long if, You, know, the words jake everybody Do you share which.
