Geez can you imagine the stories she could have told. That whole 70's Blankety Blank/Mike Walsh show era.
There'd be a few blockbuster films in that lot!

That Ugly Dave Gray bloke really gave me the shits. Could not stand a bar of him. He turned me off Blankety Blanks. I now have a similiar reaction to f**king Scotty Cam. I'd rather listen to someone dragging their fingernails down a blackboard than listen to Scotty.

Long-time Midnight Oil bassist and backing vocalist Bones Hillman has died of cancer aged 62 at his home in the United States, the Sydney rock band announced on Sunday afternoon.

“We’re grieving the loss of our brother Bones Hillman, who has passed away at his home in Milwaukee today after a cancer battle,” the band wrote in a statement on Facebook.

“He was the bassist with the beautiful voice, the band member with the wicked sense of humour, and our brilliant musical comrade.”

“Bones joined Midnight Oil way back in 1987 after stints in various Kiwi bands, most notably, The Swingers. He played and sang on every Midnight Oil recording since Blue Sky Mining and we did thousands of gigs together.”

“We will deeply miss our dear friend and companion and we send our sincerest sympathies to Denise, who has been a tower of strength for him.”

I missed this one the other day,
Sandy Harbutt, director, producer and star of the great Australian bikie movie "Stone".
Who can forget "SSAAAATTTTTAAANNNNN!"
and Rebecca Gillings boobies. A few main characters from Mad Max appeared in this movie first, The Nightrider and the Toecutter.
Love this movie, such a shame he never made another one.

I love Stone, and have the soundtrack album. Here's an interesting item with Sandy Harbutt talking about the locations used for Stone.

[glenmoresharkie]

Controversial figure at times particularly after his football career but no doubt a legend of the game. RIP to the Hand of God

I read he got about $300 million for it.

Just heard that good ol' Chuck Yeager has bought the farm. Died today aged 93 I think they said.

Chuck was the first man to break the sound barrier.

I read his autobiography many years ago. It was a very interesting read.

I lot of the old jet test pilots migrated into the fledgling astronaut space program.

What I can remember and I sometimes still use the saying 'bought the farm'. It was a saying the old mad test pilots used to say when one of their own fatally crashed whilst testing the new dang fangled jets.

That all.
