| 793170 | 2009-07-20 21:39:00 | I had a corner dairy in Auckland in those days and I and heaps of customers stood and listened to the radio. Someone could have walked away with all of my stock and I wouldn't have noticed!!! Ken ;) By the way Billy, we need the odd boss like that in our life. It makes us really appreciate it when you get a good one. I have had the odd bastard but have had more real good ones. Tha bad bastards don't think of how much better people work when they are treated right. |

| 793172 | 2009-07-20 22:28:00 | I amazed that to celebrate 40 years since Apollo 11 that there is not one TV program here on FTA TV to celebrate it this week. It's been left to the print, radio and pay TV to do it. I guess it says how dumbed down TV is in this country these days.. I don't count the movie Apollo 13 last Saturday on C3 as celebrating the success of the Apollo missions.. National Geographic channel had about 3 programs on it. I watched one of them and also watched Myth Busters on Discovery proving that landing on the moon was not a hoax. Although I new it wasn't it was very interesting to watch how they went above doing it. Should be on free to air TV in a couple of months. :) |

| 793175 | 2009-07-20 23:41:00 | Billy, one of the bosses wasn't called Ranald Aloysius McDonald was he? Close, by a curious coincidence big Ar$ehole was called Ronald and the other was Douglas, and a nicer bloke you couldn't hope to meet. Black knight and White Knight, Saruman vs Gandalf. :groan: Who was Ranald Mc D? No relation to the hamburger chain I trust? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 793176 | 2009-07-21 00:56:00 | Ranald McDonald, usually known as Mac, was a radio tech in Auckland around 1957-1960 odd. We lived in the same boarding house when I first went to Auckland. Mac was one of the nicest guys you could imagine, got on with everyone and was always cheerful. He made the first transistor radio I ever saw. I couldn't believe something could be that small. One night he and I went along to Bell Studios (in Dominion Road?) and saw one of the earliest TV transmissions in NZ. It was from one room to the next, but true TV none the less. Seemed so exciting then. :thumbs: | Richard (739) | ||
