it's funny i've always thought of my family as wollongong, sydney and glasgow people, but recently mum's been telling me about her side of the family which she never did before and come to find out i have a lot of family history in queensland. in kirra and coolangatta, a lot. mum's dad big hugh was even married in that church up on mclean street. makes me wish i'd gone surfing up there more. but i was scared of box jelly fish!

Al I used Trove today to find out why Mr Caruthers wasn't permitted to join the board of the Bacon Association in 1938.

I was reading Phil Jarrett's book. He's from down the gong way.
Devotes quite a bit on his formative years down there.

Yes!
The former board hadn't been dismissed properly so there was no vacancy.

Wilson will struggle paddling into freight train kirra.
Whoops.
makes it an absolute gun achievement. i separated my shoulder, and arthrosis has crept in bcos i did too much too soon on it.
but enough of that sad story, what Jules did , with that injury, is an incredible act. i can't believe
You need to start mixing with men like me Braithy and the unbelievable will start to be believed.
Sounds like a solid plan loof. Move to exactly palm beach, queensland and lets witness the fitness.

You can edit them you know without deleting them.
You can even edit them in your mind before you post, and decide not to.

Excellent. Or one could buy a notepad.
I know that when Skip and I lived together, that he used to write all of his posts down in notes on his phone and post them after he was happy with the content.
