We wait, poised at the starting block.
In seven days the ‘early 2024’ commitment made by SAPOL with regard to releasing their forensic report on identifying the Somerton Man will be over. Now it looks to be closer to mid 2024 until we get the news .. and here we have Derek Abbott booked to appear in Salisbury Council Chambers on May 8 for a one hour presentation. Coincidence? Me thinkest nottest. My betting is that he will be wearing all his glossy feathers and sincerely hoping to cop pats on the back from everyone in the room.
Maybe.
There are three of us in this foot race; Sir Nicholas of Pelling, Gordon The Cramer and that surfer dude from NSW’s Northern Rivers, all of whom share the same objective – to be first online with the news that Carl Webb is the wrong man.
It will be like Christmas come early.
The Somerton Man .. 
Can hardly wait to see Derek in his brown knitted three button pullover (cardigan) at Salisbury. Anyone spot the high and well devloped calf muscles of three runners depicted on yon Grecian vase. David Morgan swears that protrusions like that can only be had from competition bicycle racing. Some mothers do have em!

Spotted a while back. I’ve not figured out yet if they are marathon racers or if the last one(s) is chasing the others. It gets even more complicated if the vase is turned.

Salisbury eh?, well away from the bright city lights and, possibly reporters with long memories? Should be interesting to read all about it, providing it’s not cancelled.

Don’t be too surprised that come the big day in May, esteemed guest speaker at Salisbury has been replaced by Mitch Whalmi
