When a metro ad stress went off the wires

Allan Tooker of Kirribilli recalls the 1950s Sydney tram advertisement ( C8 ), which David Morrison mentioned this week. Allan claims that this is an earworm that he has endured since he was a child in the 1950s. In the snowy hills terrain, I lost four feet.
a holland water vision,
A circular saw with a side and a jaw on it.
And a base by a fallen tree.
But I rarely experience cold or shiver symptoms.
My wellness I may at least be assured,
By increasing my pedal,
With a drink, in moment, with a bottle.

According to Alan Hyman of Bathurst,” Bonnington’s British Moss with that strange component, Pectoral oxymel of Carrageen, was another” solution” from the same time.” No wonder we’re still in good health now!

Why do jammies need pockets so much? asks Katoomba’s Marion Grammer. Why do my father’s pyjamas have one small pocket on the top of his pants while my pajama trousers have two huge pockets? What if we put in them if they’re designed for nighttime emergencies? My husband and I are awake at night because of these inquiries.

Moving on from using up those used rubber bands ( C8 ), North Ryde resident Sue Casiglia observes that “many things are donated.” A school teacher and a friend who beaves and embroideries are frequently given a huge shopping case of Tic Tac and Mentos acrylic containers. It undoubtedly offers a different view on one man’s trash being another man’s treasure. I’d rather telephone it recycling, though.

Gary Nicholson ( C8 ) was hiding out when he bought up the ageing v aging dispute:” Gary should heed Dr. Google’s advice and choose any option that does not favor the continued assassination of the English language by the Seppos,” asserts John Kouvelis of Neutral Bay. Ageing is preferred in European, Australian, and New Zealand English while “aging” is the common grammar in American and Canadian English.

Col Burns of Lugarno gives a startling illustration:” I’m not agreeing with Gary that the “e” usually is dropped before adding “ing”… It might be confusing to fill out my plan say if I was somewhat burned by a blaze in a stick boat:” After a canoing mishap, my backside displayed considerable singing.”
