Here you can see a sad old bugger waiting for the five fifteen to Claremont.
There was once a time when men were men, women were women and people were people. Dogs were dogs, cats were cats and rats were vermin and rules were rules.
Citizens respected authority, children were seen and not heard, little boys were little boys, little girls were little girls and they hated each other for it. People did what they were told and everybody was happy, (or at least pretended to be for the sake of their neighbours).
There was no sex, no drugs and music was kept at a sensible level. Women dressed smartly, respected themselves and had pride in their appearence. Men kept their hair short, their nails trimmed and never cursed in the street.
Ladies were ladies and were thus treated like ladies and genlemen were well-mannered and the rest knew their place and didn’t cause any trouble.
By Christ it was horrible.

I was browsing some legislation the other day (as you do) and noticed that "Swearing in a public place" is still an offence.
There's a good revenue raiser for Tasmania's finest. Just visit the mall a couple of times a day.
Or any office.
Or a Kevin Rudd interview (how many people are truly shocked that the Prime Minister swore when the rest of us do it all the time?)
Twenty minutes in the bus mall and we will be able to pay for a new RHH.
If we throw in some legislation about bad haircuts, we could build two.
As for Ezra videos, I have posted a few:
Ezra having a crack at the 'Moonwalk simulator'.
Henry entertains Ezra.
Ezra Exercises.
Henry + Ezra.
Ezra's first ever bath.
Henry meets Ezra for the very first time.
But I was referring to the "Boot and Bust" in the window of the (possible) Reserve Bank Building.
Great Post, and thank you for visiting my blog today.
And maybe if a few of those things were still followed today, things might just be a little better. It was not as bad as you think back then. It was just different. In about 20 years people will look back on this time and say the same things. This is just what happens.
Take care.
Nice summary of the way it was. Gee, I actually remember those times.
Tell me, did I hear, "who is your Baba?" in that video? Or was that Dada?
Because I don't think you all call fathers as Baba, do you? In my language, we do it. And, if I not mistaken, it actually originated from Farsi or Arabic.
UK and NZ also have - they constantly say something about Northerners and Southerners. And, now I see Australians also have :-D. Wonder if WI have anything.
What happened to BLee? I know he was not in form (form coming and going) during this SA vs Aus in Australia. But is he not in form in SA (not following that seriously since poor SA is losing)?
Yeah..yeah..BH - seems like all of you all are hoping on him that he would make the Ashes win possible this summer. Poor English!!
I think what you heard was my mother asking Henry about the "bubba" (as in baby).
It isn't too much of a stretch to say that if Hilfenhaus was from NSW with his record, he'd have at least a dozen tests under his belt by now.
Look at BLee, the bloke gets chance after chance after chance, but really, has only had two decent (short) periods as a front line bowler. He's been out injured for months now, but no doubt he'll be picked to lead the attack again and will do bugger all but bowl fast and not get any wickets, but be given test after test because of his 'talent'.
If it isn't already evident, I don't rate or like BLee, and think that Australia would be far better off without him on the next Ashes tour.
