Rebecca Twigley is Merv's Aussie Babe of the Month
After The sHaMoZzLe Brekky Show
Anton, 'Tecoma' & Merv (without Jodie today) headed down to
The Para for early openers @10am .
Merv was wondering why they were inside on a day of 25 sunny degrees,
and suggested they continue drinking up at the Emerald Lake Fishing Hole.
After a small punch-up about who would be doing the drink driving,
and declining the offer to go pillion on Chris & Matt's twin Triumphs
due to their being 3 people, Merv's fishing gear & 2 slabs of beer,
they all agreed on catching the Puffing Billy Train
from The Clematis Railway Station behind The Para Pub.
Merv said to meet him down at the coolroom vault where he kept his fishing gear
& spare slabs of beer. But Merv was nowhere to be seen, so Anton went back to The Para
& Tecoma waited for Merv & the train.. & waited..
& drank his 3rd last stubbie.. & waited..
& drank his 2nd last stubbie.. & waited..
& drank down the last drop of beer in his last stubbie & then screamed... MERV !!
& then he heard Merv’s voice bellowing from the coolroom...
“save me you stupid nancy
.. but he also heard the train puffing around the bend.
'Tecoma' struggled with the vault like door with all his might but could not budge it..
he tried to wave the train down..
but it kept on going.. then he tried to derail it..

but it was too late.. as usual.. so Tecoma wondered back to The Para to join Anton..
as you could hear the muffled voice of Big Merv echo throughClematis Vineyard Valley
'Let me out of here you Nancies'.....
Just another day at the office !

delivered a blistering set of rock at the Arthouse on Saturday Night.
They blazed away for 30 minutes of great original rock with attitude.
TC went down and met the band... a seven track EP is available which includes
'Drinking & Fighting'
These fellas play a style of rock music that is passionate, explosive and original.
The rhythm section is tight and relentlessly powerful. Jimmie plays a Les Paul Through a Marshall Head / Quadbox rig and he
has to be seen to be believed. Gutsy, fast , and tasteful playing providing both rythmic power and melodic colour.
Cal Bastard on vocals rounds out this powerhouse of a band.

chord Mervyn
Un-Plugged... LIVE TO AIR
Merv has brought back to life one of Oz Rocks greatest songs and completely bastardised it.
Richard Clapton's 'Capricorn Dancer' ' got the Merv treatment today, twice.
Merv is coming along quite well on the Spanish Guitar but he still needs a few tips on singing,
particularly when it comes to melody. He has not got any idea what a melody is at this time.
We will place a sound file on this page soon,when Anton gets the editing done.

Anton K Frocks up live
in the 3MDR Studio!
Anton could not get the original Goldie Hawn number he was chasing...
but wore a lovely late 60's orange frock on the show.
I guess you had to be there... but there is some photographic evidence below.
Trev reckons he did his dough on the Twigley ebay transaction but we suspect foulplay by 'The Professor'
who has been sighted in Emerald recently impersonating Cyrilette from the Friday Breakfast Lounge.
Congratulations go to Maria from Maria's Mix (Monday 10am 3MDR) for winning
AK's Movie Charades
by correctly naming 'The interrogation scene' from 'Basic Instinct' featuring Sharon Stone.
Jodie & Trev suggest Anton wear some underwear next year.
