[LaurieHolden]

For those that listen to the MMM commentary team they've been releasing some grabs from the past decade, some of the ones with Spud trying to get Plugger and BT's early radio days vault has some funny moments -

TripleM commentary team is very good, it's like listening to one long sportsmans night with occasional cricket commentary included.

I had to laugh yesterday, I saw 3 kids doing something I hadn't seen since pre-internet days.

3 kids, around 11-12 maybe. 1 boy on a mountain bike, the other boy and the girl on skateboards. While the boy on the bike pedalled, the other boy on the skateboard held the seat with one hand being towed along, while the girl on the skateboard held onto a piece of rope tied to the seat pole and was towed along behind.

Kids playing outside, having fun, taking risks, I thought those days were gone.

What made me laugh last night? This video, the premise is that some members of the Wurundjeri tribe turn up at a house that has a sign acknowledging the traditional land owners so they ask to stay for a month or two.

^ Lol...brilliant.

Sums up 99.999% of people. They talk a good talk and signs, protests etc make them feel good.

TripleM rolling with the Valentines day poem I sent to Bill last year, in the ads this year.

For reference it was

Roses are Red
So is my Truck
It's Valentines day, so
How bout a .........drink?

Those who’ve run afoul of the Nick’s swear filter over the years may find this amusing:

Seeing someone with the name Sharyn ChinFat interviewed on the news.

Did she have a double chin by any chance? That would have made it extra funny.

This is one of those 'I know I shouldn't laugh but this is hilarious' stories. I just woke my poor wife up I was laughing so hard.

The near-empty warehouse, bad props and stingy drink and sweets are hilarious enough. But the video of the scary character terrifying children is the best bit of all. You can find it somewhere in this article:

Some poor kid even dressed up as an Oompa Loompa for the event!

They actually referenced that on MMM this morning on the breakfast show. It was the lead in to a phoner, "what's the worst place your parents ever took you?

Saw a picture on Facebook of a Black Kia with WA personalised plates that say 370HSSV.

Very good, snuck that one by the rego department Dennis

(Turn it upside down)

You can't use 7 characters in Vic, just 6. But 70HSSV is available.
