Aw that's a shame, but to make sure you don't suffer any ill-effects I'll make the sacrifice and volunteer to eat your share. OK?

Those R2E2's can be as big a small rockmelons. Another yummy fruit grown in the Kimberleys as well as other places. Slurp!

Yeah Terro, I remember him.  Swarthy complexion, dark hair and eyes and a lovely mellow deep voice.    He's gotta be even older than we are doesn't he?

Jeez Ma, no one's THAT old - only joking.
Mangos wouldn't be too old. He was reading news when I was a journo for the ABC etc in the 90's. He's probably still doing it somewhere.
I wonder if he eats them?

Do I also recall him being with Graham Kennedy on a late news show? Something about pencils in Greek, sweevee (phonetic) or something like that!

Terro.

You're right Ma, he's still doing news on Sky. He was on Weekend Sunrise this morning. In fact he was a new dad last year some time. He must still have it - the journalism and news reader skills I mean.

The youth must come from the alfoil helmet.
Who is the strange face under that alfoil helmet?
Has Bas found the fountain of youth? Jeez even his perpetual pet wouldn't recognise him now.
