@taniwharugby The murder house was by the playground facing towards Murdoch Crescent.
I’m gonna show my age now and say that before Tip Top sold Popsicles, Walls sold Crazy Joes. When Popsicles came out Walls dropped the price to 4 cents and Tip Top matched the price. What a time to be alive!

@voodoo True story. On my tenth birthday I bought 50 cents worth of mixed lollies on the way to school, it was a big fuckoff bag of all sorts of the bastards. Heaven. When I turned around from the counter in the dairy I bumped (literally) into Miss Everett the school dental nurse. She says "I hope you're not going to eat all those yourself". Ha ha. Sure as eggs later that day I got the call to attend the murder house where she drilled out half of one of my molars and put in a shit filling that still gives me grief to this day. So for my tenth birthday I got a pointless filling. Miss Everett, if you're reading you are a malicious old bag.
I think it was free up until 10 and paid for from then on. So the evil lunatics in charge of making these decisions decided to drill out perfectly healthy often very strong teeth (so agony for kids) at the last free appointment and replace then with fillings (that often f++ked the teeth as amalgam expand and contracts and a filling partly destroys healthy teeth). On the ground that fillings were better than the actual tooth. And as its free etc
I guess the decision was made to ensure lots of future work for dentists.

got an email from the lad yesterday saying school was boring as had a reliever teach for the day. Had a pretty quiet day work wise too so a quick email to the school office and next thing ya know the boy and I are out mountain biking at woodhill for the arvo. Always good to get that 1 on 1 quality time

So this guy is/was an idol for my 11yr old. Stink.

The only fillings in my mouth are the ones from primary school.
