Re: Australian Trivia Only
Agree about Peter Watt books- enjoyed them all.
Time is passing too quickly so live life to the full with your spouse/partner while you still have she/he by your side.

Ummmm
Can't think of one so I'll have to defer to a higher knowledge.

Much that passes as idealism is disguised hatred or disguised love of power.

Re: Australian Trivia Only
Ok,
Here’s a little scandal involving one of our PMs.
I want you to give me his name.
He had a reputation as a stylish young man-about-town.
He courted an attractive young lady, only to have her swept off her feet by his father!
So instead of becoming his fiancée, she became his step-mother.
Hurt & disappointed he began courting another young lady, but decided he could not support a wife on his low salary.
She married another man, but kept in touch.
So much ‘in touch’ that he fathered two — possibly all three — of her sons!
After her marriage broke down (how surprising!), they married and the sons took his name.
No mention of this history surfaced during his nomination as a candidate, or in fact throughout his career.
However, marriage did not stop his roving eye (or hands) and he was caught out at the end of his political life, with his long-term mistress.
Who was he?

Re: Australian Trivia Only
Would it be Harold Holt? I recall that he was touted as being a ladies man.

Re: Australian Trivia Only
Wow, if it was Harold that might be why he disappeared, never know.

Re: Australian Trivia Only
DAMN!!I thought this one might have been a little tougher!!
David, you’re spot-on.
When he disappeared from Cheviot Beach, he was having a little beach party with his mistress, Marjorie Gillespie (about 20 years his junior) and a few friends, mostly nubile young women.
For the sake of appearance, they each had a young man in tow, but most of the lads knew very little about their supposed ‘girlfriends’ when grilled by the press.
Draw your own conclusions from that...And only in Australia would a PM who drowned be memorialised with a swimming pool...
David, you’ve done it again!
Your turn.
Regards & God bless,
Ray

Re: Australian Trivia Only
hmmm.
So, the Russian submarine story has credence. The girls were probably Russian briides.

Re: Australian Trivia Only
If none of this was made public where did all this detail come from?
