Are the rumours true that oft worsted Dennis Lillee is to be honoured on Australia day for being a curmudgeonly old bastard and bafflingly uncommunicative WACA president? A long, long time ago I wrote a few articles for Timezone Magazine and wanted to interview Dennis about the Dennis Lillee pinball machine “Howzat!” I tried to contact him and came home one day to find a message on the machine berating me for not being there when he called. Wot fuck? He apparently wanted me to sit at home next to the phone in case he ever called me.

Don’t leave message on my answering machine if I’m going to have to talk to your answering machine?
Showing your age a bit there, TLA.
TGF emails and SMS texts, though I have had a juvenile twerp of an offspring berate me for having my mobile turned off and for not replying to his texts for over an hour.
Shock! Horror! Tweet, tweet and share your personal affairs on internet “social” sites with total strangers that you wouldn’t share floorspace with if you met them tete-a-tete.
I’ll sit on the veranda and talk to actual people any day, with, or without, glass in hand; but bugger having a load of airheads intruding into my daily life with a lot of inane prattle.
It’s bad enough on this blog at times ;-)

The registrar secretary at UWA in 1977 had a poster of DL doing an armshelf in a bed, above her desk. Qujite took my breath away, quel mo ! It wasn’t till years later that I realised that it was OK to find DL a powerfully attractive man yet at the same time be non-gay.
