Christmas present - Hurvinek - 29-12-2022 Hello again friends! I hope you all had a nice and peaceful Christmas fest! Yesterday I met an old friend, he has nothing to do with Austins, but presented me a blanket, if it ever got too cold in my garage... I made a foto, it can be seen attached to this message. Did you also get nice gifts for Christmas? Let's see! Oliver RE: Christmas present - Ruairidh Dunford - 29-12-2022 My (first) wife knitted me a jumper, I love it! 7DE4F3AF-31E7-4E56-9C40-BD53DA8C4151.jpeg (Size: 775.02 KB / Downloads: 593) RE: Christmas present - squeak - 30-12-2022 My pre-wife knitted me a jumper but as I was resident 10000 miles away in the UK, and her imagination got the better, it arrived at least 10 sizes too big. Her current husband still trying to put weight on 50 years later. RE: Christmas present - Tony Press - 30-12-2022 1956 my first girlfriend knitted me a very oversize green jumper - and I was there at the time I had to wear another jumper underneath when we congregated outside what was then Caulfield Institute of Technology (now changed to Monash University) to discuss last night's episode of The Goon Show Caulield Institute.jpg (Size: 67.06 KB / Downloads: 549) RE: Christmas present - narrowgauger - 30-12-2022 Hi Tomy interesting, I was at RMIT and Caulflield from 1958 to 1962 whilst City Architect at Moorabbin and the owner of a 1926 Austin Seven interesting times and lots of changes since, but still the proud owner of an A7, albeit a sportster based on a 1930 chassis. Happy New Year Bernard S RE: Christmas present - Nick Lettington - 30-12-2022 I got a collection of bsf/bsw taps and dies for Christmas, all in tins and well oiled, bought from fb marketplace. I don't know how my wife and/or old St Nick new I wanted them... Sadly the chap who kept them so nicely didn't end the year well. Sobering... I think I need to start sorting out my garage.

Why, it was almost identical to the previous 50 shows... a name change here, a slightly different foreign Johnny to mock there, as fresh as a dripping tap... RE: Christmas present - Cliff Ringrose - 31-12-2022 Duncan, the reason the Goon Show is as fresh as a dripping tap is that the tap has been dripping for seventy years! I rarely listen now, but I can assure you that in 1952, when the height of radio comedy was Ray's a Laugh, Life with the Lyons, Meet the Huggets, etc. a forteen year old shoolboy had never heard anything like the Goons, and neither had his totally baffeled parents! Sorry this is nothing to do with Austin Sevens, or Christmas presents, but one of the things I love about this Forum is the tangents that posts go off in. Cliff.
