WDYTYA is coming to SBSTV in OZ

I'm still continuing, Ruskie. I've only got back to 1801 - now that's too recent for my liking 

I'll report back to Dee.

Good on you Gadget!

And you have no idea who Ita Buttrose is either - but since when has that mattered! 

[Gadget]

Ruskie - I've never heard of her in my life until this week - should I have

[Ruskie]

No I'd be surprised if you did know who she is ....
(I was trying to say how kind it is of you to help find Ita's ancestors even though you don't know her from Adam).

She's an Australian ex magazine editor possibly most famous for her lisp, and the fact that she edited a magazine which published the first nude male centrefold in the '70's amid much scandel. (As an aside, the centrefold 'model' was the ex-husband of Germaine Greer who she was married to for about two weeks I think).

I'm still searching too....and I have just found the marriage of Ita's mother and father.....

Hey  Ruskie

From  memory  wasn't that first  nude male centrefold  a  certain  Jack Thompson?

Cheers   Bottoms  Up

[Ruskie]

Jenn, I stand corrected. It WAS Jack Thompson. Paul du Feu was the first male centrefold in Cosmopolitan magazine.

[deeiluka]

I've made a tentative.....very tentative start in regards to Jack Thompson.   

But Trish and I are now unravelling Ita's maternal line between us .....more tomorrow......I'm off to bed.

I'll just say that whatever they look at with Ita....it should make an interesting story.

Well done  so  far  Dee  it  does  brighten  up  ones  day doesn't it.

Can  you  tell me  how  pages  long a  thread can  go  on for?  I have  noticed  on  the TOT boards  say on  the cricket  they  can  only  go  for so  many  pages

kind regards JEnn
