respect-a

Dave turns 31...

"Dave Johnson was the greatest footy player to never play for the Pies. We all feel that loss." - Eddie McGuire.


Birthday shout outs to you little boggie (hope that you've survived the other night). Your turning 31 today makes me feel rather old (so i can't even begin to think what that says for mum and dad?) But with any luck, you're avoiding work (unlikely) and planning to relax with your girls tonight. Unless Kev buys you too many drinks after work of course.

And so, while we're on all things family - congrats to Fie and Pete for producing young Anna into the world on Monday. Another Pender woman let loose - God help us all. But as yet, I've seen no photographic proof of the Berry Beauty... so instead, let's all (and by all I mean, the seven of us who were there) trip down memory lane to a young Dave and Fie...

ah the eighties could be so cruel - mustard yellow track suits.

... with an elephants head

... and brown school shoes to match

it explains so much.

just noticed the "red cordial" sitting next to you Dave. You certainly did start early...

And what did you look like at this point Jono? Maybe Urban Stone should host a pictorial history of Andrew Johnson.

From toddler, through the angsty teenage years to brodding middle-aged man.

Yep, great idea.

Oh no, you don't know of what you speak anonymous. We would be subject to photos of trips to Kangeroo Valley, nights at TC's and many battle of the bands comps. But the photo's of Jono heading to Kangeroo Valley in the late 80's are priceless. Jono you were always a man ahead of your time accept in the 80's you were still in the 70's with Kev, listening to Led Zepplin, boof hair and strutting your cord get-up.....priceless!
