A friend sent me an e-mail about the newest Older Person craze. We have all heard about and been bored to death with the craze of "Planking". Well Plonking goes like this. You plonk yourself down in a comfy chair, grab your favourite glass of plonk, or whatever, and make yourself comfortable. Its optional to take pictures and send them to friends. What trendsetters we are - we have all been doing it for years... lol I am actually doing a pretty good job of it on my avatar!

I've been chided for calling wine "plonk", but where I come from anything made from the grape was "plonk". That's how it was in the Barossa. It's only since the snobbery of wine and its bouquet and age, graced our society and our pallets, that it lost the label of plonk. Anything from the grape will always be plonk to me. Cheers!

'Chateau Cardboard' will do me - it travels better in the van than bottles anyway. Now we are parked up for the night - Plonk 'n plonk is what we are about to do right now.

Wow! I've been doing it for years but I had no idea my favourite activity had a name. Am off to practise it some more right now. By the way Pejay - I just love your avatar!
ive been plonking all weekend friday night on the cowboys ,saturday night at the outback spectacular few makers mark before we left then some jim beams while wewere there great show would only do it once though but well worth it something very different, hubbys dad used to train horses to do what they do so it was very emotional for him as his dad has passed ,he also used to train sheep dogs (kelpies) out at canowindra ,bought a tear to his eye and well me it was the big screen that had all the huge pictures of the rock, kimberleys , mt connor all them places i have and havent been yet that made me very upset believe it or not i am guessing the older i get i cant wait to head off and see all of those things with the love of my life ,time flys so fast its crazy.
Enjoy plonking while you can. I see in the papers that the Canberra Cretins are hatching a plan to QUADRUPLE the price of wine casks to stop us drinking too much. That's sure to be another vote-winner. Cheers, Tony

It's happening everywhere. Control the drink rather than the drinkers. In Cairns you can't buy a wine cask before 4pm. In Broome you can't buy 4 litre casks, only 2 litre casks, but you can buy 2 x 2 litre casks at the same time. I won't try to explain it. Toooooooo hard.

Just been plonkin' & plonkin' - plonked ourselves in the artesian pools at the Gwydir Caravan Park at Moree for a little while, then after a shower, got out the plonk, to make an afternoon of it. Now, if the spelling is not all that crash hot on hare, you know why!!!
