Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / General Car Topics (Australian group) / July 2009Noddy's wife
A recent post alerted me to the fact that Nodd's wife/partner is a Kiwi. Now I have nothing against this, but I was reminded of a time a few decades ago, when my mates and I knocked around with several Kiwi women. Certainly different to most Aussie girls, in that not only was changing a tyre simply not a problem, but doing their oil changes (properly - warm the engine first etc) wa something that most Kiwi women (at least the ones we knew) learned from an early age. I guess it was all down to Piggy Muldoon.  SignatureTrevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au > A recent post alerted me to the fact that Nodd's wife/partner is a > Kiwi.

So that is why she is able to put up with the prick :) >A recent post alerted me to the fact that Nodd's wife/partner is a Kiwi. >Now I have nothing against this, but I was reminded of a time a few decades [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >first etc) wa something that most Kiwi women (at least the ones we knew) >learned from an early age. I guess it was all down to Piggy Muldoon. I don't know what it is about them, but some of them are certainly pretty self reliant. I think it's part of the Maori culture, where woman are expected to contribute to the "family" in ways other than just cooking and breeding. I know my wife is certainly not of the "Oh my God I've broken a nail, and I'm about to go into a coma" variety. -- Regards, Noddy. >>A recent post alerted me to the fact that Nodd's wife/partner is a Kiwi. >>Now I have nothing against this, but I was reminded of a time a few [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > expected to contribute to the "family" in ways other than just cooking and > breeding. **Not just Maoris.

All the young women of Newcastle walk down the main street which is called Hunter Street for reasons that will become obvious later on in the song. All the young men of Newcastle drive down Hunter Street in their hot FJ Holdens with chrome plated grease nipples and double reverse overhead twin cam door handles, sitting eight abreast in the front seat, and they lean out of the window and say real cool things to the sheilas on the footpath, like 'Aah g'day'. And every now and then, of course, one of the young ladies thinks to herself Ummmm she thinks Ummmmm.

AHH the memories...those were the days. Clever thought out music. Roger/Davo > Bloody hell I remember that one from my youth.

Triggered a memory Just had a look and I still have the album - "Newcastle song" Bob Hudson recorded live. My favorite was J.L. Budgerigar. I also looked at the recording date... f.ck I'm getting old. -- Dyna Soar wrote: >> "Noddy" <me@home.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZSSYqHYjxY LOL, believe it or not I have the Newcastle Song album on vinyl around here somewhere:-) Daryl > Dyna Soar wrote: > >> "Noddy" <me@home.com> wrote in message [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > LOL, believe it or not I have the Newcastle Song album on vinyl around > here somewhere:-) As do I, packed away with my 'Farewell Aunty Jack' single :) >>A recent post alerted me to the fact that Nodd's wife/partner is a Kiwi. >>Now I have nothing against this, but I was reminded of a time a few [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > I know my wife is certainly not of the "Oh my God I've broken a nail, and > I'm about to go into a coma" variety.

Prior to then the Australian census form required Anglo's to state their nationality as British. Only indigenous folk were allowed to call themselves Australian. http://www.naa.gov.au/naaresources/publications/research_guides/guides/ctznship/ pages/chapter1.htm "The term Australian nationality entered usage only in the 1940s when the Commonwealths full sovereignty was realised, but during the 1960s the census continued to require Australian citizens to declare their nationality as British."

That's a stupid statement (not directed at you John) I didn't realise it was the indigenious folk who named Australia so how could they be the only ones to be called "Australians"?? More do gooder minority rubbish ruling the day.

Which raises the question.... Is it better to *warm* the engine first (presumably so the oil runs out of the sump quicker) or after it's been standing long enough for the maximum amount of oil to drain from the engine internals? FWIW I always to try to drain the oil after it's cooled down following a long run, and without restarting the engine. There's nothing to gain, except scalding yourself, by doing while it's still at operating temperature... and even less to gain by draining it when the engine hasn't been previously run to full operating temperature. As a worse case scenario. I can recall a bloke once telling me he'd at last found a decent place to service his car... based on his observation that driving past the workshop early in the morning you'd see all the cars standing out front with their engines idling (to warm them up before changing the oil)!

I confess that I don't have enough empirical evidence to argue against you on this one. > As a worse case scenario.

MY old man used to take his to a guy not far from where he worked. He liked going there because: 1) The guy did a good, honest job. 2) He'd park the car in the shade, so it would not be uncomfortably hot when the old man went to collect it.
