Jarrod chose a magnificent day to be inducted. The Back of the Ferry was jammed and the tourists on the upstairs veranda bar were agog at the beer photography activity going on. Plenty of leave passes had been distributed and …
Some stay the same
In 1987, it was an analog world and there was no internet or mobile phones (except for the odd geek). A Tablet was something you took for your hangover and our Prime Minister held the world record for skolling 2.5 …
