At least most people know who Skippy is (or was).

You come from a Rugby League and cricket mad state like NSW and you say you don't know Dave MacDonald - shame and fie [img]smile.gif[/img] And it doesn't say much of your knowledge of the 80's music scene if you don't know the Wilson brothers. I even have some of their recordings in the other room. They were tiny in the 70's, but put on a real gigantic growth spurt in the 80's. [/QUOTE]Didn't Hugh Wilson move to America or sumfink? I love his electro stuff. His brother's a sound bloke too!

Sheep Sharing

An English tourist visiting the Outback of Australia notices a farmer goin' at it with a sheep in a nearby field. The English guy taken aback by this, so he climbs the fence and walks over to the farmer. He taps him on the shoulder and says, "You know mate, back home, we shear those!"
The Aussie farmer looks frantically around and says, "I'm not bloody SHARING with anyone!"

Interesting that some people know Hugh Wilson but not his brother. Dave MacDonald appears to be the least well known!! Strange as I have met him personally on 3 occasions!

Did you get his autograph Donut? A friend of mine reckons he has one of his - he is keeping it for a few years more though to let in accumulate in value.

I was in a pub in London once, and Dave MacDonald was in there, this beautiful young girl came in , walked over to Dave, and started carresing his head and neck, I mean how cool is that, she'd never even met him before
