Sara Kasch of Milton 'was very surprised and concerned yesterday as I was a passenger in a car when I opened a letter from my health insurance company, stating that my husband had died. I was slightly concerned as he was the one driving the car. We're not sure from where they obtained that information, maybe they know more than we do?' 'Globite cases (C8) came with a small key that could lock them,' informs Barrie Restall of Teven. 'Most kids did not bother to use the key so it was easy to fill an unattended case with, rocks, rubbish or a brick and lock it, leaving the owner to lug it about until they got home. Mostly done on sports day when numerous cases were unattended.' 'My Globite school port (I grew up along the coast so it was a port, not a case) saw me through my last years of school, then was passed on to younger siblings,' reports Ann Clydsdale of Bathurst. 'Years later I reclaimed it on a visit to the family home. Sadly, it was adorned with stickers (it had been pristine when I owned it) but it was still in robust physical condition. It is now doing sterling service storing some of my wool stash.' Switching bags now with Robert Hickey of Green Point who concurs with Geoff Carey's memories of the Gladstone bag. 'At my school in Mascot it became a rite of passage, used by the senior boys while the juniors had their Globites. It was often accompanied by a long black umbrella on rainy days which was either used as a quasi walking cane or else secured in the bags handles. We used to think it looked quite stylish.' An acquaintance of Jim Pollitt of Wahroonga was on the course at Mona Vale Golf Club on Sunday when that Piper Cherokee decided on an emergency landing (C8): 'He went up to the crashed plane and said to the pilot 'You can't park here'.' Mary Watson of Balgowlah Heights adds that 'it would planely be a preferred lie. It wouldn't be a handicap however for a good player. They would probably wing it.' 'I've begun reading many articles about Al (C8), keen to discover whether the subject is an Alan, Albert, or perhaps even Aloysius, only to realise that the subject is Artificial Intelligence,' laments Graham Meale of Boambee East. 'I now avoid all Sans Serif typefaces.' Is Jim Chalmers cornered? 'I hope the government's Economic Reform Roundtable meeting in Canberra goes well,' says Lin Sinton of Killarney Heights. 'But I don't hold out much hope. To start with their table is not round but rectangular.'
