The second self of Morris is far from minor

Although Granny has been compared to both Esme Watson (Sue Casiglia) and British comic book character Mrs Brady Old Lady (Terry Collister), we enjoy her doppelganger series (C8) and it will be hard to watch her from now on McHale’s Navy Without thinking about the Prime Minister. The next quote comes from David Howard of Moss Vale, who says: “For reasons I can’t quite explain, Morris Iemma always reminds me of Huckleberry Hound.”

“I once locked my keys in the trunk of my car while changing at the beach in North Haven,” writes Adam Green of Tamworth. “Due to its location, it took NRMA (C8) a while to get there and that was okay. it was on the beach. However, when I started working, the planned gas stop was vetoed due to the local gas station closing. Hoping to limp the eight kilometers to my father’s house, I ran out of fuel and couldn’t make it. Luckily my dad brought me the lawnmower fuel can as I wanted to avoid the embarrassment of calling the NRMA again because I suspected it was the same patrol officer.”

“When I went to pay for my meal at a Crows Nest restaurant last week, I was told another customer had paid for it,” says Ian Fenwicke of Greenwich. “I almost burst into tears. Has anyone else experienced this?”

“Shots Return to Heaven “The Wombarra Bowlo (C8) got me thinking,” says Mangerton’s George Manojlovic. “Given the average age of the lawn bowlers and their familiarity with the Wombarra Bowlo, I think it would be a good idea for the club’s more forgetful patrons to write ‘Return to Heaven’ on their bowling carrier bags. The choice is between the bowlo or the cemetery across the road.”

This quote comes from Marrickville’s Anne McCarthy: “I was intrigued by Miles Harvey’s account of his difficulties with airport security in bringing pepper-flavoured Marmite into Australia (C8). Did it originate in the UK or New Zealand, each of which produces a version of Marmite, and what does the pepper-flavored version taste like? Also, how could he possibly prefer the sickly sweet Marmite to our ‘true blue’ Vegemite?”

“One cliché (C8) has been removed from your list. As well as lashing out, it is almost always the police who are surprised. No one else seems surprised; just them. Best regards, your dear grandson, Bill Irvine of Goulburn.”
