Do the names Dr. Plant and Miss Stubbs ring any bells with you 😉

Hello Darki Do the names Dr. Plant and Miss Stubbs ring any bells with you 😉

Very vaguely mtn... want to recall them for me?

Morning morning all:)

We would all remember im sure those very frizzy perms that were in in the mid 70s...........one had to have a special comb like a rake thing to comb them think they were called an afro?

Good morning all, I see we have thinned out a bit, but at least it's a thread that can keep going as someone might think of yet more memories...

Here's something I bet none of you know unless you were raised in Hobart during the war years... Japanese planes flew over Mount Wellington and caused an awful scare.

Apparently they were just reconoitering the area and had come off a submarine that had crept up one of the inlets.

Yes small planes that could take off and settle again on a sub, bears thinking about doesn't it.

"Japanese submarine I-400 ... They were submarine aircraft carriers able to carry three Aichi M6A Seiran aircraft underwater to their destinations. .... against the fuselage, the horizontal stabilizers folded down and the top of the vertical stabilizer ..."

I can't access any more at present because Google is blacked out for 24 hours in protest..

"Imagine a World
Without Free Knowledge

For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open Internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia. Learn more...."

You can Google and see this too.  Sign in and put in our district so it counts as a vote for them 🙂

Who remembers the subs in Sydney Harbour?  I was too young to know but I remember my mother and I suddenly leaving Sydney to move up to Faulconbridge in the Blue Mountains at my Grandfather's insistance.

I expect most of us were too young to be more than aware that something was 'going on'.

Yes Afro hair... and the only people that looked good on were the African people :^O

What about 'Which Twin Has The Toni?"

hahaha!

morning all....been a bit busy trying to CONTACT CENTRELINK....

It's worse than pulling teeth.    "Ask" is the only search thing I can contact and it's bloody useless.

Could some kind person give me the general phone no. so I can make an appt with a fin. advisor.?

PLEASE

Dashed people have suspended our pension because we didn't give them 2 tax returns of a non existent company, and a trust that doesn't earn enough $$ to pay tax  . grrrrrrrrr

So now i have to visit the offices of centrelink and take in papers to prove it before our pensions will be reinstated.  I hope I'll be able to FIX this once and for all.  Stoopid bureacracy!!!

Yes "cracker night" brought back memories....we had a huge bonfire and all the town people would come out to our farm every year.....well not 'all' but our friends anyway...lol.

Centrelink Phone No. Please  ?    not the 13 2300 or the 13 2307

and am I the "Payee" or the payer on a cheque?   there is a place for the "Payee" to sign.....is that me or the "Pay to the order of" person?

derrrrrr

Know what you mean about a bursting head darki.

Very vaguely mtn... want to recall them for me?

If I add 'Kembla Building' does that help Darkie ?:|

Nothing untoward about my question - just testing MY memory 😄

finally found it.....thanks anyway.....

Note to self:

Never ring Centrelink on a Thusday.

there's a 10 min back log.....now my phone's battery will go dead next !!!

Only good thing is some nice 'while you wait' classical music.
