went to the Playbox theatre in Hobart and was treated like a creature from, outer space

That might not have been just parochialism.

 

What WERE you wearing?

[facthunter]

Very normal attire. IT WAS because we  were Not Known to them. They even asked us ( My wife and me), WHO we were.  Nev

I think  you are Missing the Point. Anyone who they didn't know would be unexpected They would NOT know whether I was from the Mainland.  Hobart is by far  the Biggest town in Tassie. Nev

I am not having a great run with vehicles lately. First the deer and the mini.. And on the weekend, the Volvo decided to emit clunky noises from its rear end. So off to the local mechanic, and since it is the only one around after their competitor retired, I am in for a wait as there is a solid pipeline of work to be done ahead of mine. No probs. Thought I would hire a car for a week. 

 

This evening, driving through the village down the road, I hit a massive pot hole at low speed but enough to cause some rumblings coming from its front end. FFS, another damaged vehicle. Thankkfully I took full fat insurance, but crickey, I have just had enough of cars at the moment.

 

Have to be thankful of small mercies - although I got my medical, I am not flying yet.

Might be a good idea to postpone any flying until your bad vehicle patch has passed.
