Aussie mingles are not a practical proposition, what with the distances and all. So I’m happy to report that this morning an Oz micro-mingle took place in Brisbane, consisting of the excellent Junior Wells and myself. T-shirts were compared, bit-rates revealed, gossip exchanged, bollocks may have been talked. Most enjoyable altogether, and may it happen again. Thanks to Chris for the venue and her excellent morning tea.

Bravo! Great to see you both.
Marvelous! Stupendous T shirt Junior.
Thankyou for sorting out for me who is who in the photo.
Ahem, and how did you work that out exactly…?
I have to say, you look nothing like your byline picture. But then again, I don’t look like a 150 year old line drawing. Yet.
I was thinking he looks nothing like Mr. Pastry
Plays guitar like him, though.
*The rest of the Afterword look blank*
I might not be any great shakes on the guitar but I can certainly bust some moves.
We made our own entertainment in those days
… and you know what? I think we wus ‘appier then.
*The rest of the Afterword continues to look blank*
Oh how we laughed! Dancer, acrobat and comedian. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-QeKaiWulw
ah the good old days with the white dot when the television went to closedown, the kitten and the potters wheel.( not combined) dear dear Richard (he invented the sandwich you know)
Working out which one is you, Mike, is easy thanks to your FB profile pic.
After a little thought, I deducted that you probably weren’t a cheeky and brightly coloured parrot. Easy peasy after that.
There just has to be an Afterword calendar. I see this as May, I don’t know why.
An Afterword calendar? I hope you’re not suggesting that we follow in the footsteps of vicars’ wives, firemen, vets etc and get our kit off in aid of charity.
My blood runs cold at the thought.
… hiding our modesty behind a 12″? A 45? CD? Minidisc?
Marvellous t shirt. Will be in Brisbane in 2017 – enough notice to arrange another one?
Yes, I’ll be here, as long as I’ve kept my nose clean and haven’t been kicked out of the country. How do you know you’ll be here? Is there something happening?
It`s when he`s doing his exotic potions run.
Lovely! ❤️
Damn! I missed out. Where in Brisbane are you, Mike?
Jail. Minimum security, lots of visitor privileges, but it’s still jail.
And damn again! We could have had an actual mingle (on the assumption that 3 is a quorum). In truth it was more a case of Junior getting in touch because he was coming to Bris from Melbourne. But we should certainly meet some time soon – I’ll pm you.
Sweden is an hour ahead of the UK.
So it’s always a pleasure to take a quick glance at the AW and see what’s been posted from New Zealand, Australia and Thailand. The ÁW day has begun.
I don’t know where the it ends though. Maybe there’s a blogger in California or on Hawaii? I’m fast asleep by then.
Well done Mike though I must say the P was at risk of having his croissant whisked away when his disdain for the Mighty Vish was revealed.
Thanks re tshirt @kaisfatdad – one of a pair of authentic 70s shirts Mrs Wells got for me from the States.
Apologies to other Brisbanites but I wasn’t organised enough to sort thing any more than this initial meet with the inestimable MrP.
Mike talks of visiting Melbourne so that may be a cue for something down south unless anyone else gets something together.
I`m sure my missus ordered me some Bob Marley tees from the states a couple of weeks ago.
*wink*
Ilove it when a package of “Bob Marley T Shirts” arrives.
Hi, yes my daughter’s best friend emigrated to Brisbane about 6 years ago. In 2017 they are both 18 and we will meet up out there for their birthdays. They live in Bribie, we were there 2 years ago.Fine part of the world.
My My Junior – I thought I was Looking at the long lost son of Dr. Geoffrey Edelsten -an uncanny “resemblence” do say – mind you I am sure you would have spent the dosh a lot more wisely than the doc & there’s Mike new to the joint & hobnobbing with the Hoi Polloi.
well @jack-kelsey it has never been remarked upon but I can sorta see where you are coming from thoughI’m not sure I’m happy about it
Hey Junior – neither compliment nor insult intended – we all have a “doppelganger” if I’ve got the term right – just an automatic observation as I saw the pic.
Mike, just to let you know that someone here (ie me) thinks your Londonlee t-shirt is more spiffing than the Marley one.
*blush* why thank you sir…
Yes I prefer Mike’s too. If I’d thought we’d be parading on the Afterword I’d have ……
And if either of you chaps ever happen to be passing through Seednee then give us a hoy…
Sounds ixelint. Hope you had a bonzer time and a few coldies were consumed! Fair dinkum! (years of Kylie love watching Neighbours means I spikki the lingo).
No offence @jack-kelsey just the idea of being GEs son is not an attractive one!
Could have been a lot worse Junior -As soon as I saw the Gavin Paterson pic I thought it was a bloke who did time for throwing his girlfriend off a cliff in Sydney – he got freed on a retrial after about 4yrs in the nick.
It was a high celebrity case here in Sydney “Financier/Model/Driver” appeared on 60 minutes etc denying all knowledge type job.
Renee Rivkin!s “driver”
Rivkin’s
Junior – Exactamondo – RR’s “driver” – the likeness is “scary” IMO.
