Didn't you say we shouldn't have picked Cotchin, Tony?  :shh

 ;D

Gerks are you sure you're not a woman or at least half a tranny? You never ever forget when people stuff up. My Wife does it all the bloody time when things go wrong. I forgot the anniversary of the day I proposed to her and she hit me with everything including the day I didn't double bag the milk at the supermarket.  ;D

Then G make sure you don't go to Oxford St up here and ask for a new tranny as you will end up with a lady boy fresh of a Qantas flight from Bangkok.  ;D

Yep that's what we called 'em

Still have the first tranny (radio) that my folks gave me for Xmas when I was 6 and yes I can remember which Xmas it was because my Dad was still alive

In my line of work if you say 'tranny' you're referring to a transformer. Mates look at me suss if I said I had a tranny to wind during the week.
