    Where to buy safety-razor blades in Melbourne?

    Oldest person you ever knew?

    The oldest person I knew was the man I bought all my trade tools from. he retired at 94 and only because the ol eyes were going and arthritis was getting to him as well. Other than that he was remarkably spritely and would run inside to answer the phone. He lived to 106 Barra

    Akubra Overload

    Postal strike I wouldn't get too fussed about hearing Australia Post workers going on strike. Most are back at work. While striking the week of xmas may have just been for maximum shock value to highlight their cause, without exception everyone I have spoken to holds their timing in utter...

    Show us your most precious vintage item .

    This is my most treasured vintage item. It is a Jones harness stitcher and would be well and truly over 100 years old. When I got it, it was covered in gunk and rust.

    What would you serve as the best local food?

    I'd have to serve wine from the local region which is about 20min drive away. Of course this would also entail a trip for some cellar door tastings. http://www.barossa.com/site/page.cfm?u=3

    Weird Food Combinations

    I just had horrible flashbacks. When I was in the Army we sat around while on Exercise and tried to come up with the worst combination from a ration pack. Beside the luncheon meat type 2 which is bully beef by a new name and widely accepted that top breeders recommend it, the worst thing we came...

    Modern flight coats:

    Sure Opas Coat. I'll see what I can rustle up. We have a few Aircrew that are Ex CAF, in fact my last CO is Canadian. I have deployed with Canadians in the past and hope I will again in the future. I have also guzzled my fair share of Moose milk during Ex Fincastles. Loooove the moose milk.

    Oldest flying jet destroyed

    What a shame. On your Wikipedia link there is a pic of A79-612. I used to dive past this every day. Bit of a sad end though, stuck on a stick. About 40km north of this one there is the Temora Aviation museum which has an an airworthy Vampire. http://www.aviationmuseum.com.au/aircraft/Vampire.cfm
