We're putting some old bits of old fellas under the microscope. Pants down. Magnification up. Washed, pressed, folded and top drawer. The bits the judges liked until Barry fell off the catwalk. You know - that split second when you wobble on your high heels and you can't decide whether to attempt a spectacular recovery or just go with the plummet. Old bitz of Old Fellas - you just can't look away.

Hey! Remember those early episodes? Yeah - neither do we. But librarian went up into the attic and found these loose bits inside some old Lego boxes. Nurse Bukesham rescued a few used band aids out of the sick bay waste basket and stuck it all together. Headphones on. Earbuds in. Pants optional.

It's not pretty. It's not cuddly. It's not particularly photogenic. But enough about Jerry's mole. These are the off-cutz. From a year that produced its fair share, we can now reveal the bitz that didn't make it. The McMerkin Sisters retrieved random tapes from the waste paper, untangled them, tumbled them in the dryer, got the cat to eat and then extrude them, then they stuck 'em together with Perkins paste. A sumptuous school project that got a D minus and a place of pride on the fridge.

Another solar sojourn done. And guess what! We're back where we started. Wishing you a Jerry Barry Christmas. May your mistletoe bare fruit and multiply. May your Yuletide Pine be Spindly. And may 20-26 be full of Attricks. Yes - holiday idiots everywhere.

We just knew this was going to happen! Sometimes it doesn't pay to be right. Just as well we don't do this for pay! Only a pair of old fellas could bring Putin, Zelensky, Nicola Olyslagers and Molly Picklum to the round table. Then next thing - bloody Waverley Council wanna get in on the action! In the end, Jerry gets on his trust stead and saunters off glittering like a cloudless night ... or a clownless circus - we're not quite sure.

The Louvre break-in! So many questions! Why do Australian reporters pronounce it LOO-ver? Did Candace and Brigitte kiss and make up? Who let the dogs out? In the end, Jerry squanders his resistance for a pocketful of pugilism. I guess it's better than contracting mange ...

Time to have the hard conversation: Are tomatoes a fruit or a vegetable? Is human DNA 60% banana? Does she really sell sea shells by the sea shore? These and other brain busting Government secrets will remain undercover in Episode 79. But the journey is worth it. Proceed with caution - especially all you Grandmamas and Grandpapas.

Slower than a speeding bullet, less powerful than a locomotive - but she CAN leap tall buildings in a single bound. Our Nicola is the pride of Spindly Pines and surrounds. Even Richard Fosbury is impressed, and he's dead!

One person who's not dead: ya bop-girl Grannie! She's been up all night ... baking!!!! Reach for the Alka-Seltzer, hangers!

It's Heroes Ahoy! And racists, apparently. Jerry's hero, Jimmy, is still protesting the Vietnam War, but it just gives him heartburn. Oh, what a tangled Webb ...

Woh!!! Did you hear what happened to the Shenanigans? Yeah, neither did we. But we'll just make it up as we go along. It's all about flying by the seat of your pants - if you're wearing any. Then afterwards, everyone down to the Rec Room for the Retirement Village Shuffle.
