Australia’s behind the times in lots of ways. Seems to be catching up some though.

Behind you say? Hmmm...
"Right up until 1970 in Queensland, it was prohibited to serve women alcohol in the public bar. Women could get a drink in the ladies lounge or beer garden — albeit at a higher cost — but the public bar was the men's domain."

Wow. That guy that was defending the women had tremendous tobacco stains on his fingers. I’ve only seen that one other time and that lady smoked 3 packs a day.

Yep. Some real shit right there. But I accept literally a different time.
Makes me remember old mate here. Jack Karlson only recently passed away. Deserves his place in this thread. "I see you know your judo well".

About to head out for lunch at a Morrocan (!) place we've never tried. My only request was that I don't have to think about anything - everything ordered for me.
Then it will be home for a bit of front yard tidy up (with beers) and probs taking the dog down the park to chase the tennis ball around a bit.
