What an exciting end to the game, Robbie Gray was certainly the best player to have a kick for goal after the siren. Always reliable. Now watching the Hawks v Dees. Barracking for Dees for husband's sake. Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for various reasons I was invited to the opening of the Hurstville Medical Clinic of the socialite Dr, Edelsten. Back then he was opening a few of these around Sydney. The Hurstville one was above the Railway Station. In a fanfare, the Doc's Pink Helicopter landed on the roof and after the official opening accompanied by music, dancing girls and of course 'lemonade and Cheezels' lol, Edelsten started inviting some guests for joy flights in his pink helo, after one flight, the helo was ordered out of the area by Sydney Airport Control Tower, due to flight path interference, you guessed it I missed out. Anyway I had a nice arvo chatting to Dr Edelsten and the legendary Warwick Capper, amongst others, he was not in his short shorts. Gee it was a great lemonade served, I think it was Schweppes🤣🍷. Edelsten went broke not long after and the rest is history. Edited July 21, 2020 by NSWP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, his one at Hurstville was like that, grand piano and all. He loved pink. The Doc wore pink suits. Hhe imported a lot of foreign doctors over here, from the sub-continent etc. Into his company Allied Medical Group, which operated the 24 hr medical centres, an innovation back in 1985, but plenty around now. Perhaps some stayed and got residency. Geoffrey E would be in his mid - late 70's now I reckon. Edited July 21, 2020 by NSWP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoWhiners Posted July 25, 2020 Author #289 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Well it looks like my fun watching the AFL is just about over. Only 2 games will be shown, both in the wee hours of the AM 😞 I was hoping to see the Swans tonight. Instead of showing us live AFL games, we are being subjected to boxing reruns and reruns of opening day US baseball. Ughh. I'l have to depend on all of you for details... Go Swans!

Leigh Yeah, I'm totally bummed but nothing I can do. I do look forward to reading everyone's comments on all the games this week. We are off to the lake tomorrow, it will probably be raining when we get there but it will still be great to be somewhere than our own backyard 🙂 And, I've been reading that Dr Fauci and other experts think we should lockdown for 6 weeks--I hope we get back home if that happens! Hope things in Melbourne are looking up. Go Swans! Edited July 25, 2020 by NoWhiners add info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
