I never imagined rising property values would turn my old bogan heartland of Hackham West into the new Henley Beach, but that's where it's heading. To think only 25 short years ago the neighbourhood was a skanky sea of mullets, flannelet shirts, broken homes and empty wallets. Actually, maybe it's only that last one that's changed at all. @Stilgherrian: That’s not exactly true.

Re the cane attack, I suspect it was more than at the time I was in my mid-20s and had a trimmer bottom. Perhaps from behind it was all too tempting for The Great Man. He was a wonderful practical joker. @Stephen Stockwell: Nothing ever changes in Adelaide, you should know that. ;)

I had to put a funny caption to a photo - I still have the clipping. I think it was in the '80s. Yep it would've been. Did you know I used to be a "Rosemary" for the Advertiser? *sings* I'll be calling you-oo-ooo". I went on to bigger and better things. Heh. I wish we had a vid of ol' Maxy clipping you one for YouTube. :P I remember her!!! *reminisces* I won some wine in a competition she ran.

Never saw her without them.
