Happier New Year

 

Yes, it HAS been an odd year, but things should be getting better.

But lets look back to New Years Eve 1966, and a time when the biggest fear was Mrs McGovern's impromptu strip tease, accompanied by "Bobo" Wilson after 3 lessons on the banjo. While being watched by a sailfish suffering from locked-in syndrome.   Oh, and the ever present threat of all-out nuclear war.

Happier days.

Bonus - the SS Warrimoo, a ship which simultaneously crossed the International Date Line and Equator at 12 am on 31 Dec 1899 thus placing her in two different seasons, in two different hemispheres, on two different days, in two different months, in two different years, in two different centuries.

Bonus 2 -
