khun custard Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Aussie Music Legend?? For those not in the know he was a very popular host of a show called Countdown which was on the ABC from the mid 70's to late 80's from memory ( not that dissimilar in format to Later with Joules Holland) EXCEPT "Molly" was not a musician well, expect for his peccadillo for blowing other blokes trouser Flutes! He introduced the world to AC/DC, as well as Dragon, Reene Gayer and a few other iconic acts than never quite made it internationally. Great timing , falling over (preferably pissed) is a great Australia Day tradition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubbies - small bottles of beer Boozer - bar or pub Cobba - man Plugger or Pluggers - flip flops / thongs / Havaianas Bob's yer Uncle - Robert is your Uncle (there you have it)For the record I've never been to Australia.
