Monday Edition
Happy Monday members! We hope you all had a lovely weekend and are ready to jump into another week! As you know, on Monday’s we love challenging you with a tough riddle to start your week off on the right foot. So without further ado…
What word in the English language does the following:
The first two letters signify a male,
The first three letters signify a female,
The first four letters signify a great,
While the entire word signifies a great woman?
We weren’t kidding when we said ‘tough’ riddle now, were we? A big thanks to member @DrChip who sent this through to us! Sit down and have a good think about this one. If you think you know the answer, post it here in our forum and if you get it correct, you’ll get a shoutout in tomorrow’s newsletter (on us of course 😉)
Now that you’ve cracked the riddle, what’s happening across the world and around Australia today?

Who here owned (or still owns) a Sandman Ute or Van? The marketing for these cars was very specific back in the day. According to Holden, The Holden Sandman was for “blokes and the sheilas got to occupy the front passenger’s seat, and maybe the optional mattress that was a big part of the ‘ready to go’ concept: Pile ’em in – skis, surfboards, birds or whatever." Wow. What a car and what a concept!
