So it’s obviously a Australian car, as it seems like a marsupial to me!

And like, the BSA Gold Star, AJS are back on the UK market again (except Chinese engines). BSA are using the rotax engine supplied to BMW

Is that a ring spanner in his pocket?

The most dangerous is the one with the red head. A small stain on your shirt and you're dead.

Went to see the <love him or hate him> comedian Jimmy Carr last night. The late show , finished at midnight.
Got a call at 9 this morning from my brother to say our dad had died peacefully overnight , at home with family nearby. Not unexpected ; he was 96 with a terminal illness. Like me , and for various reasons, he enjoyed dark humour. He would have laughed at this one!

Sorry for your loss mate.
96 is a bloody good innings. I hope he lived a good life.

That's a very respectable age.

My father in law was 97 when he died, and the final six month were a pain for him.

So your father shall R.I.P.

@Tazzieman : I'm sure your Dad was proud of you and rested content that his decision to emigrate all those years ago to Van Diemen's Land no less , has paid off in spades! My Dad passed away three yrs ago which made me an orphan in my 70s...and I don't particularly like it !
Peace to you all!

Being of cockney stock , he wasn't fond of posh people.
Even though he became a medical specialist he avoided all the wanky medico types.
He was also very practical.
I installed 2x240v strip lights yesterday. As always , when fiddling with electrical stuff one of dad's favourite poems was running around my head.
This is by Hilaire Belloc

Lord Finchley
Lord Finchley tried to mend the Electric Light
Himself. It struck him dead: And serve him right!
It is the business of the wealthy man
To give employment to the artisan.
