Was Simon O’Donoghue Underquoting?

Who wants to be a millionaire?  Who would want to be a real estate agent?  (Especially when cynics like The Shadow can raise issues like underquoting.)

Simon had to explain that, whereas the Changeover function had been advertised at $65, it was really going to be $75.  On hearing this, Bernie Walshe was heard to mutter “underquoting”.  Simon, The Shadow  was not surprised to hear, had the classic politician’s excuse: “The previous mob grossly under-estimated this, and so we, the new mob, have no choice but to do the only responsible thing which is to cost it more realistically.”

The Shadow considers it’s a bargain, even at the new price.

One Night, Back in the Sixties

Recently, RC Glenferrie held a successful fundraiser dinner event, with a Sixties theme.

The Shadow is not capable of manipulating photographs.  And, anyhow, who would dare to manipulate a photo supplied by Gordon Cheyne? (Thanks, Gordon, for the photos!)  We can all recognise our much-esteemed President Ngaire.  But who is the person with her?  Is it male or female?  Man or gorilla?  (Apparently a fun time was had by all.)
