The Old Double Blues

A fantastic and huge plug for Sturt Football Club in today's Advertiser newspaper. The plug is for the book 'The Old Double Blues - Celebrating the men of Sturt', written by Sturt tragic supporter Angel Fernandez. It's nearly 700 pages and was compiled by oral interviews over the past five years. The history of the club spans seven decades. History spans from 1950s club stalwarts Wally May, Tony Goodchild, Dennis Rattigan, Bill Kutcher, Bob Marshall and Gus Hunter, to Brant Chambers, Greg Whittlesea, Brodie Atkinson, Damian Squire, Tim Weatherald and Jade Sheedy, and includes club legends such as Rick Davies, Paul Bagshaw and Peter Motley.

Toilet with a view

When visiting Tasmania, it is a must to go to that museum, MONA. Take the ferry from Hobart. I notice the new book titled Toilets: A Spotter's Guide (Lonely Planet, $14.99). A lovely coffee table book. Anyway, one of the Aussie toilets featured is a public toilet at MONA. That toilet has an array of mirrors in the pan to enable you to see what is happening down there. There's a warning about ... 'Things you'll have trouble forgetting once seen'. For more information Google MONA toilet. The shop at the museum also has a range of unusual soap for sale as a souvenir. Certainly a conversation piece. Again, use Google to get more information.
