Top Cat, Wacky Races, Motor Mouse and Autocat, Chattanooga Cats, It's the Wolf! were all my part of my regular Saturday morning cartoon fix!

Too much fun!
Good role models too.

And if you were up early enough:



As a kid, I desperately wanted to work for the thunderbirds. As I got older, I realised they were only puppets. There’s no international rescue, it’s only international invasions and war.

Ms Lady Penelope, what a stunner.

Too smart for me, but @Gareth67 would be in with a chance with his smooth talk and intellectual interests.

Richly undeserved.


Yes.

You snob!

Get this into ya Einstein:

No mate , I wore glasses. when I was a kid , big thick coke - a - cola glasses , my school mates would called me four eyes ( an affectionate term for their little mate I dare say ? ) ah kids can be so cruel, however getting back to the old Pye television I would watch the Flintstones and the Jetsons with of course every kids favourite Disneyland on a Sunday evening.

But that was yonks ago , I grew up on T. V. diet of the old black and white Tarzan and Hopalong Cassidy movies etc. etc.

Merely a normal kid who built cubby houses in the bush , hunt for frogs in the creek and throw the little blighters on the road and watch the cars run over them - as I said just a perfectly normal child during the 1950’s .;)

Yeah, I’m glad you didn’t take the bullying to heart. I was regularly nailed playing footy. Booted in the face, concussed, a broken wrist, impaled in wire fences. All part of growing up in the city.

One of my kids, he’s a geek. He’s going against the family tradition of hopelessness and may yet make something of himself.

Alas he’s a panther fan, I’ve tried many times to belt that out of him ( only kidding). It’s a failure in my book, but he’s still my kid.

Mate I was more inclined to watching the shows that had genuine geniuses in them such as Bob and Dolly’s Dwyer’s ‘ B.P.s Pick- A - Box ‘ and Professor Julius Summer Miller ‘s - ‘ Why Is It So ? ‘

The former Labour politician Barry Jones was the stand out brain in ‘ Pick - A - Box , great viewing for any young kid . :)
Jones occasionally corrected some of the questions on Pick-a-Box rather than answer them. He is also the owner of the world’s largest private collection of autographs and has academic qualifications from about ten universities. A truly incredible mind.
He only ever played rugby league in his grandma’s backyard after knocking back six VBs but he was a passable back rower against the grandkids.

Sure were great times.

Tom terrific was my all time favourite as a little bloke.


I used to wear dad’s tin oil funnel (which I still have 70 years later) on my head and run around the yard with Bluey our beautiful blue cattle dog being and doing everything you wanted to be.

Nowadays most of the worlds running around with tin foil hats lol.

Probably around 50 years since I heard that song. Still remember it .Far out man 👨

He said on a poddy b4 Christmas that they had not talked to either
In the podcast Flanagan said we are after an outside back but yes he said we haven't spoken to Taulagi and Averillo which seems odd considering all the speculation of Taulagi most likely signing with Dragons and still being on the open market. Which outside back is available and better than Taulagi?

All the best @Gareth67 & @Surfclub Saint and may you both continue on your long journey to recovery.

I think the issue with Zac is his manager. They are supposed to look after their clients. It is their job to get them players what is best for them not a bigger commission on their own behalf. If I was Zac I would be sacking his management team first before worrying about my next move.

I know from a mate of Lomax's that Parra were talking to him a while before he joined and for him to know surely the NRL would have as well but they did nothing as the should with this scenario. Sucked in to Parra and this is just karma on both them and Zac. Zac because his dollars are much more less than what he and his manager expected for 2026.
Thanks Slip.

Lomax.
I have no knowledge, nor have a I read any speculation on this but I would be shocked if we weren't at least discussing Lomax in some capacity.

That's a complex situation and Flanagan on the podcast basically said we don't want Lomax back. We'll also have to offload a player to Eels. Looks like Eels want a centre and if Lomax plays at Dragons again it'll be wing so we can't afford to offload a centre.

I think Zac has well and truly burnt his bridges at SGI.

One of the indictments against him was that he was so eager to abandon his post that he took a hefty pay cut.

The only other player who has come close to humiliating and berating the good name and integrity of the club in recent times is his lecherous mate Bunt.

Thousands of souls left at the alter, the objective of the salary cap torn up and shoved down flannos throat.

Hes about as welcome as the Trump would be in Greenland atm.
