Where’s Monza?

Me

Isn’t that Australian for “really good”?

Him

That’s “bonzer”.

Me

Isn’t that a tiny tree?

Him

That’s a bonsai.

Me

Isn’t that a Japanese battlecry?

Him

That’s “banzai”.

Me

Okay I’m out.

I still don’t know where Monza is though.

Re #1: No, that’s “ripper”. :P Fair dinkum, there’s heaps of Aussie slang; I’m flat out like a lizard drinking but it’s worth a squizz.

Monza. Is it the Italian Grand Prix race course? I may be wrong.

As did I - I think it was one of the tracks on Chequered Flag on my old Spectrum. What a game! Gently roll around accurate representations of famous tracks with no other competitors.

Yeah, it was on Chequered Flag. Ye Gods I’m showing my age remembering that bloody game.

But you’re right, it was fun…

Nothing wrong with remembering classic Spectrum games! I while-away many an hour reliving my youth via the Spectaculator. :)
