Reminders of your childhood

[The Mad Hatter]

WI wouldn’t care. Lol. But it’s pretty cringeworthy now. The casual racism pretty prevalent.

The $$$ they were getting playing in Australia was huge. There’s interview footage of Michael Holding describing him updating his passbook at the bank and he’d received his WSC salary and the teller and he nearly fainted.

You have to give it to Packer, the promotion and merchandising of the game was second to none.

Talking old cricket, when I was a kid around 82-84, I remember Rod Marsh promoting a Streets or Peters or Paul’s ice cream. Can anyone remember which one? I seem to remember lick a prize but I can’t find any ads or promo material.

Cant say i remember anything about Rod Marsh promoting any ice creams but i'm sure he did a Johnsons Baby Powder ad at some time but i cant find anything about that either.

But i did find this with Boonie, Marshie and Greg Ritchie.

Only with watercress, avocado and a hint of lime.

@Bring back John Fifita is the forum chef, he will know what wine goes with it!

Reminds me of my Nans salad. Picking out the last onions left in the bottom after Sunday lunch brings back memories.

Malt vinegar on hot chips goes alright. Another one I havent had for years though.

It wasn’t that bad, very strong pacifist message but obviously of it’s period in many respects.

The treatment of nurses, some of the portrayal of Koreans was pretty bad.

Not enough scripts for minor roles.

Against that, contempt for power and regimentation. Something George Lucas is very keen on as he tracks the decline of American exceptionalism.

I think they used humour to criticise war and that is a tradition. Plenty of jokes in ww1 trenches as blokes prepared to be slaughtered. The futility of it.

Not sure if kids today understand these things as well as they might. Not interested I guess.

You mean pickled onions.

Not pickled onions as I know them. These are sliced fresh brown onion in a bowl. Pour malt vinegar over them. Serve as part of a salad.

I often slice up an onion and a cucumber (a real one, not a Lebanese one) and soak them in a bowl of vinegar before picking them out and eating with a bit of salt.

Had lunch down at the Ulladulla fish co op years ago and they just had a side dish of spanish onion soaked in vinegar, simplicity at its best.
