That death stare and oh so cool skinny tie must have had the chicks at Cronulla dropping their dacks that day Foss, you old bodgie ;D. If you'd have turned up at my beloved Maroubra with that well Brylcreemed hair and those black pegged polyester slacks you'd have copped a bit of a slap and thrown on the next 399 bus out of there ::).

Happy belated birthday Foss ;D ;D.

Tony only mixed with us when he couldn't avoid us Steve.........I think,to him, we were just a rowdy bunch of PissPots....Just like Anthony, he doesn't drink.......Kerry used to come to our parties because we HAD FUN !!!.......Tony's idea of fun is a workout at the gym........Kerry is Anthony's stepmother.

I went to school with one of Tony's " Brothers ", his name escapes me, Mick maybe? how hopeless is that?
I'm talking 1976 and Tony turned up in a huge Yank Tank to take a few of us to our Rugby League grand final at Erskinville oval, Kingsgrove Nth V's Dulwich Hill High, the same grand final match up for the previous 3 years, former 1st grade Ref, Jack Danzey was DHH Sports Master and reff'd all our GF's and we still won em all.
I sat in the back seat right behind Tony, from Kingsgrove to Erko and my biggest memorry is, the size of Tony's head.

Elvis Presley....desert sled rider ::)
                                                       

Elvis might have been a phony but like McQueen, Keenen Wynn was the real deal

I have to agree with you Firko......according to the late Richard Harris and the current Russell Crowe........ANYONE CAN BE AN ACTOR, but it takes more to PUT IT ON THE LINE......with no script........Steve, Keenan and Paul ( in cars Newman ) will always BE COOL !! 8) 8) 8)
