searched high and low - no luck - can you help

G'day - got vertigo now in addition to 70 years of wear and tear so taking a breather to think a little more.

last time i had one was on the hill at the St Kilda footy ground at St Kilda in 1954 - thats shut but were sure they were made by Rothils in Caulfield but they are gone as well.

Coles dont sell them and Woolies say they have never heard about them so you - boys and girls - are my last chance.

where can i buy a Saveloy - not a hot dog a Saveloy.

remember they were white - fat greasy and very garlicky - boiled and eaten on a roll with tomato sauce - they were bloody beautiful and i feel like one now.

remember the bloke had a 44 gallon drum of water over a fire and sold savs all day.

suppose those red things are thought to replace them but not a chance.

any ideas where i can get one this side of heaven

have a great day

love and regards

peter

Where is your note Peterseaford?

We have really really missed you and your posts.'

Vertigo is a pain in the! but hey what can we do? we take what we gets, and copes best we can.

Older age is not for whimps as well anyone hits 50 knows. You sound chipper and thats good.

You have not been in to tell us if you have travelled again lately?

Anyway you wife allows friendly ladies to hug you yes? You are a trustworthy bloke we and she knows SO Big Hug.

........

My Peter as opposed to Mrs. Peter's Peter namely you Peter says he had real Savaloys with tomato sauce at the footy cooked in the 44 gal. drum just as you said, and he also agrees they were a real treat in the big bun he says was huge........BUT he says the savaloys were always red

Is it possible you are thinking of something else Peterseaford? We are not saying you are but Peter has not heared of them and he like you, enjoyed those big savs. with tomato sauce cooked in the 44 gal. drum at the footy.

I have seen white pudding as opposed to black pudding?

be good

Phyl.

well Phyl - your Peter must be younger than this Peter cos they were white. the red ones were American hot dogs or cocktails - our one was a greasy sav - you know where the saying came from - "fair suck of the sav"



up in Elsternwick Mum bought savs for use at home at Wrights near Orrong Road. Sure your Peter was not a NSW boy??



sometimes people from other states were just a little different like - ports instead of suitcase and swimmers instead of togs.



Phil - think God didnt want me in Queensland this year - how do i know well how about this.



all booked and only need prescriptions for my pills so visit the quack - all packed to go next day mind you.



the following is a resume of what happened and how the messages arrived - mind full of the fact that a penicillin injection to me is major surgery.



1 doctor wants me to have ct scan and ultrasound



2 arrange that then he wants me to revisit my heart bloke - his gurantee was 10 years and it is only eight years so far.



3 heart bloke puts me on "rat poison" so back to quack to arrange.



4 my gp arranges for endless blood tests - thanks very much



5 all well so just one visit and off but no he orderes another ct scan and xray



6 having rebooked all my trip for the sixth time thought there was a reason why i could not go so unpacked the truck but not the van - yet.



7 back to get results to be told better wait another 3 weeks so to satisfy the wife - agreed



8 very next morning - should have been 400k from home - and discover i cannot walk because i have vertigo



9 ultrasound and ct scan plus i need to brush up on my "Hail Mary's" cos Norma my wife needs to drive me everywhere now.



10 discovered Norma and i do not attract the same attention as we stagger arm in arm around Seaford as long as i have the bottle in a brown paper bag in one hand.



11 to top it all off - where we have camped for years they have built a new recreation room so i cannot reverse our large van onto the site anyway.



Phyl - would it seem to you that the Gods have conspired against me this year.





love and regards peter

You Elsternwick lad you Peter. Do you remember I told you my grandparents with my Mother came from England to Elsternwick many years ago? You have completely forgotton but I forgive you.

What a disappointment on the eve of your holiday. Vertigo is such a nuisance more than anything else I would imagine as it does so affect your balance.

Your wife loves you to bits so will be keeping you a lot closer now hey?

I bet you feel annoyed you have been given this to live with?

I am very annoyed I have Arrythmia too as it hits me out of the blue and always the worry my heart will beat SO fast I will pass out and er even kark it. Nah refuse to yet.



I heard an elderly man on the radio say last night "I look forward to leaving this world when it has to happen as if there is another life or something after death it will be an experience! and if nothing! well no difference to going to sleep every night" either way it is all good"

Another way of looking at it hey?

Phyl - you are a copycat - i have got what you have got so there - thats why i am on rat poison - are you?? my heart goes faster than yours i bet.



i think there is a better place - let me correct that - another place - i am a catholic - went to CBC St Kilda . i tend to think we are like - say butterflies - live as a grub - go into a deep sleep and emerge as a beautiful butterfly.



my transformation has been a little different - i am beautiful now so whatever might i be - later.????



do you have skype? if so we could chat face to face



what about the savs Phyl - so your Peter is from some other state - thought so - just mucking around



love and regards

Peter was born and bred opposite the South Melbourne Footy. Club in Albert Road! hence he is a South Melbourne fanatic (Sydney Swans Now) footy follower. Peter remembers the men in white coats with their little chip boilers selling the big fat red savs. when the final siren went after a game.

We have wireless broadband but it does not support Skype Peter.

You have a heart that misses beats? and chugs? and goes into the wrong rhythm? and can beat over fast and you can pass out? oh ^5 matey. It's a pain hey?

I have had the 24 hour holter twice recently and an Ecco Cardio. and the stress test but they could not find out what is causing it.

I had the darn out of sync. heart for 6 hours ysterday for absolutely no reason. I can lift and tote weights and do all sorts of things and I am fine but another day I can be relaxing and bingo.

Does yours last for hours? I am supposed to go to Emergency but what is the use? It will settle and if it does not? well er not sure it always will but I hate hospital........

I am looking at a pacemaker down the track maybe but maybe stronger heart tabls. What do you call rat poison you take?

I am on Sotocor morn. and night. I still hang upside down every morn. and lift weights and live my life as I am sure you do.

Annoying but; hey?

You have been missed - are you repentent at all?

Have you ever eaten something very healthy and thought it was something you really wanted - in your case a Sav.?

You can even eat a lemon and think it is chocolate.

I have to admit have been a bit tired after my episode yeaterday so going to go to bed now (early night)

Catch you later.

Phyl. the dill.

well Phyl if P eter was born there he is a mate - i worked at port melbourne - tom piper for years. we must agree to disagree - our savs were white and the yank ones were red.



i had a tripply bye pass eight years ago and that was the result of fibrulation - still happens so i am now on warafrin which is rat poison.

need a blood test very regularly so that the dose is regulated.



tell Peter that Bobby Pratt worked at Brooks Lemnos for some time in Whiteman Street then at Graham Street port when Tom Piper took them over.



our best friend lived in Park St and worked at the SM Market..



what a shame about skype - i am with optus and speak each week to a mate in Chongqing China - see him as well - all for free.



have a good rest both of you



love and regards
