It's here again folks! Taking a quick break from all the buying, sorting, boxing, and of course talking to you love lot, we're back with another little insight into one unsuspecting member of the TruffleShuffle super group to see who they are, what they do here and just what makes them tick.

This time it’s the turn of the warehouse superhero Ron.... good luck! :)

Self-appointed early morning tea lady/ Ship Captain aboard the SS TruffleShuffle, wall painter, office vandal and sometimes (when it's not too busy) Retro movie rundown writer.

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 113

Great Barrier Reef! Is it nearly the weekend already?!

So, like a brightly blue coloured Surgeonfish, we'll scurry our way around in our ever growing school of friends, navigating the maze of tropical coral that's teaming with life and colour on the hunt for food and shelter away from the bigger and more menacing movie monsters of the sea. We'll scratch around and uncover some retro movie classics, always looking for our next fix of celluloid wonder.

Have a happy retro weekend!

Halley's comet! It's the weekend already?!

Like a proud owner of a shiny new soft top convertible, we'll be donning the driving gloves and sunglasses as we rev up our smooth engine and glide our way through the twisting and turning country roads with the wind in our hair in search for even more retro cinematic greatness and stopping only to gasp at the celluloid wonder they discover on the way.

Have a happy retro weekend!

Hulkamania! It must be the weekend!

So on a dewy wet morning amongst the weeds on the patio of an older couples cottage, let us be your slimy velocity challenged invertebrate as we sluggishly drag ourselves across paving slabs of retro movie magic.

Have a happy retro weekend!
