Who remembers?

Saw some topless tanning at Camps Bay beach when I was in Cape Town for the Argus in 2012. I've yet to see that at the beaches in Durbs, unless I've been going to the wrong beaches.

There's a few nudist beaches at durbs

[Goodbadugly]

those ladies are all well into their sixties now. mmmmmm

I often wonder about that. When you see an old tannie sitting under a tree at the ouetehuis. All wrinkled up and crooked. Al buttoned up and demanding respect. 

Was she not 'n lekker ou j@gse dingetjie when she was in het 20's?

I mean, the dolls of yesteryear had to end up somewhere?

Some of the best Norm Peterson quotes from "Cheers":

 

"What's shaking, Norm?" 

"All four cheeks & a couple of chins."

 

"What's new, Normie?" 

"Terrorists, Sam. They've taken over my stomach & they're demanding beer."

 

"What'd you like, Normie?" 

"A reason to live. Give me another beer."

 

"What'll you have, Normie?" 

Well, I'm in a gambling mood Sammy. I'll take a glass of whatever comes out of the tap."

"Looks like beer, Norm."

"Call me Mister Lucky."

 

"Hey Norm, how's the world been treating you?" 

"Like a baby treats a diaper."

 

"What's the story, Mr. Peterson?" 

"The Bobsey Twins go to the brewery. Let's cut to the happy ending."

 

"What's going on, Mr. Peterson?" 

"A flashing sign in my gut that says, 'Insert beer here.'"

 

"Whatcha up to, Norm?" 

"My ideal weight if I were eleven feet tall."

 

"How's it going, Mr. Peterson?" 

"Poor." 

"I'm sorry to hear that." 

"No, I mean pour."

 

"Women..... Can't live with 'em.... pass the beer nuts."

 

"What's going down, Normie?" 

"My butt cheeks on that bar stool."

"Pour you a beer, Mr. Peterson?" 

"Alright, but stop me at one....make that one-thirty."

 

"How's it going, Mr. Peterson?" 

It's a dog eat dog world, Woody & I'm wearing Milk Bone underwear."

 

"What's the story, Norm?" 

"Boy meets beer. Boy drinks beer. Boy meets another beer."

 

"Can I pour you a beer, Mr. Peterson?" 

"A little early, isn't it, Woody?" 

"For a beer?" 

"No, for stupid questions."

 

"Hey Norm, how's life in the fast lane?" 

"Don't know, can't find the on-ramp."

 

I actually remember some of these!

 

Liked it when Frasier and Lilith joined in. Loved the Coach but Woody was a good replacement too.

 

John Cleese did an episode once.

He is out and out my favourite actor. Those two represent a a tiny dot of his extensive work. His role in dark comedies especially. Incredibly versatile and talented

 

 

Saw him in a series in the US last week. Didn't catch the mane but he was a detective investigating murders. He is a very talented actor.

 

Wasn't he in Indecent Proposal years ago too?

My favourite in that was the dog biscuits....made in a factory in Kokstad. There were days when you chowed everything and days when you hardly touched a thing....

Everyone tried to get a number 5. Can't remember why.

[Frosty]

I remember the following:

 

Spaghetti and corn

Spaghetti and meatballs

Breyani (spelling?)

Pickled Fish

Baked Beans

 

No. 5 would been the Spaghetti & something, as I disliked the last three on the list.

 

 

My last 6 months, I was based in PMB, in charge of the stores... so getting the right rat pack was easy, and getting favours for handing over the right pack was also done #bribery and #corruption. Let’s say I never washed or ironed anything in those last 6 months.

[Sidersky]

I loved the dog biscuits and the 'milkshake'.

 

Was talking to some young interns here, I think the convo started about the John Steenhuisen not having a degree debacle. I said I also did not get a degree as when I finished matric my choice was the army or prison, effectively. They had no idea that we had conscription back then. It's apparently not part of the school syllabus so it was complete news to them.

Not all history is "remembered".

Making "pizza" with the dog biscuits and the "cheese"... the best thing in those packs was the glucose sweets

Three guys you never messed with, the cook, the storeman and the postman...
