    @Smudge Wow! I experienced the ole Golden Takeaways fishburger many times on the way home from the Fitz. They were the ultimate "protein burger"!

    @Nepia but dont all you Aussies earn a squillion dollars more than us poor kiwis?

    Unlike others like maybe @mariner4life and @voodoo I'm not eligible to vote in the Oz elections so no Aussie. 😉

    Yep, I'm a voter here and also eligible at home, but I don't typically vote there because I don't feel educated / affected enough.

    I do however reserve the right to whine about NZ election outcomes and the resulting 3yrs of governance

    @MN5

    Speaking of Easter eggs, I really miss the chocolate coated marshmallow ones. The ones with the pink marshmallow and yellow "yolk" were the real deal.

    Follow up: Mrs Meldrew has suggested I buy these, make my own marshmallow eggs and chocolate coat them. Worth a try.

    Not sure how I missed this back in January.

    Brilliant.

    There’s about as many Sheila’s in that bar as there is on the fern.

    I'm sure back in our day it was a right of passage to have a near death experience choking on a K-bar.

    I recall going on fishing trip with the old man and insisting on taking K bars with us, the poor fulla had a choking fit that started out as hilarious and descended into a genuine fear that I might need to take the oars and pilot the boat back to shore to get medical assistance.

    Thankfully he recovered and no emergency maneuvers were required by my 10 year old self.

    Ahh the fond childhood memories.

    It appears they let anyone in that place.

    The Outback didn't exist when I was at Uni. The Hilly was the place to go.
