Port Elliot ‘Drive-in’ Disaster
I was 15 years old and holidaying down at Port Elliot staying at the ‘Dolphin Apartments’ at Horseshoe Bay.

It was a warm night in the school holidays and the cinema was packed with cars, however we still managed to get a central position about midway back. We watched a few local Val Morgan advertisements before the main movie then headed for the…

Another Partington Showing Progress
The ‘Stone of Progress’ is a sacred part of the Westminster School culture where it is tradition for students to showcase their artistic talents and creativity on a tile that is there for the life of the school to inspire others upon their educational journey. Look at the ‘masterpiece’ highly decorated House Captain Jason Partington left behind 27 years ago and is still there to this day…..Clown! 🙂 Only my brother Jason would use a sculptured time capsule for self promotion and free advertising!

STOP!!! . . . Hammer Time
Just wanted to thank all of my friends who allowed me to roam the streets back in 1991 with this outfit on. You would think someone would have the courage to come forward and say you look like a “wanker” in those happy pants, not forgetting the Elvis hairdo and Hi Top Nike Sneakers. You should all be ashamed of yourselves…..:)
