Re: Coober Pedy or Bust
...hey Dave!....what the hell did you do with my hair? (struth, I look like me Dad!)
Now Dave, so far you have told no lies...on here...apart from...lies by ommission!....you see folks, Dave rang me looking for somewhere to get a new glow plug for Russ unit on a Saturday arvo. I gave him directions to the local Repco shop but while we talked on the phone his UHF kept squarking over our conversation so after a few utterances he obviously turned it down. After he got the parts he called around to pick me up....also suggesting I include a couple of tinnies in the deal.....(like I needed telling)....we headed off out to the site Russ had broken down, shi....vvers, I must have left my glasses on the counter at the shop....damn and blast..."eer Dave, can you still see without them....you are driving remember"...."Yeah pretty good most of the time!"....
so we got to the site of the breakdown, get out of the car..."Hey...look here, my glasses!".....hanging on thefront of ...you know whose shirt!...anyway we got Russ mobile and Dave suggested we head off and Russ follow, I thought that a little strange at the time but then realised he is a Sandgroper after all!... 
Anyway, we are cruising along and Dave is giving me his life story....plus that of his family, their family their families family....you get the picture.... ..."Hey Dave" I said, "is the young bloke still behind us?" (knowing full well of course that he was....but not too sure how far!) shi...heck..I can't see him was the reply. "Hey Russ, you got your ears on" I thought "what does he
mean, has he got his bloody ears on, apart from all that hair he has on his head and face, it certainly looked to me like he had ears there somewhere! Anyway, there was nothing happened and no one spoke back so I started to wonder what was going on. "Ahh I see, the radio was turned down, maybe that is why we didn't hear from him, we'll just wait here for a few minutes and surely he will be along soon"......nup....."well, perhaps we better go back and see what happened".....a few more chapters in the life of Dave...."He couldn't have gotten far Dave, we are only a few K's from where we left him!"......ppt...ppt...oops, we are out of fuel..."WHAT...your'e bloody joking aren't you?"..."No ....but don't worry I have another jerry in the trailer!.....""yeah, then we have to bleed the bloody thing and roo...mess about!"... no worries, only takes a few minutes....lucky I picked up my tools from Russ hey?....... ....yeah Dave....lucky. Ahh that wasn't too bad....keep going ol' girl....ah there he is." Struth Dave, we are only about five kays from where we left him!..."Yeah Dad, she blew another one!".....well we ...they, fished about and found a bolt to take the place of the glow plug and away we go again, "you go first this time Russ".....Ahh, we are back in the present..... ten kays out of Alice......"done another one Dad...got any more bolts"....bit of a search and we are back in business, all in town, a tub and a change of togs, burn a bit of meat on the barbie and a bit of sheilas tucker, coupla beers and plenty of lies...stories....pretty bloody good arvo Dave....just thought I better make sure it was all reported correctly....
