.. i was young

good eyesight. (up close)

I had a Gollywog

... you could see INXS playing at a pub.
...Paul Kelly did free lunchtime gigs at Uni.
...I could eat a whole large Capricciosa at 10:00pm and not still be digesting it the following morning.
...all my mates were taller than me.
...they taunted ME about losing my hair. (Justice comes to those who wait)
...you used to get 2 jelly frogs for 1 cent, potato cakes (scallops) were 2 cents each, and Wagon Wheels were actually a decent size.
...no-one had allergies, but there was a kid at school who had really skinny legs because he had had polio
..I used to service my car (the HR - the car of the future)
... we used to fry ourselves on the hot concrete after swimming in the neighbours pool, without sunscreen
... you couldn't sleep that night because of the pain
... skin would peel off in sheets a few days later
... the year 2000 seemed so far in the future.

Yeah, see what you mean Knotty

I remember when I filed all the little studs off my BMX pedals so I could ride it barefoot. Not only do I wear shoes now but I can only wear the shoes that go with the pedals.

Oh and Rellie, he's talking about ****.

when I had a foreskin ,
now it seems every buggers` got one .

when chucking a couple of litres of whale oil out the
back of the boat to stir up the gardies was no big deal .

when marron season went for half a year ... legally .

buying a new bombora XIT .

buying a new naish two line kite , which delaminated after a couple of weeks .

spending endless hours on windy weekends fixing bladders on my blacktip kites .

when shackling yourself to your kite was fashionable .

I REMEMBER WHEN THERE WAS A FISHING FORUM .

i also remember it`s destruction

Now that's a shock. Even kiting is getting old.

... my biggest concern in my life was how I would wear my hair to school (Primary School and the 90's)
... Braces totally weren't cool, but like THE BIFF, I'm bringing it back!!! [}:)]
... kites were little diamond shapes I would make with paper, sticks and a trail with string... oh how they developed into my biggest dream! [}:)]



haa good topic rellie.... Been missing your contribution to my posts lately

Ha ha - I see from todays profile pic your hair is still a concern Liz! Would you like me to mail you some hair care tips so you can have a rockin 'do' like mine?

Maybe go a bit easier with the make up next time too hun?

Super Nintendo was the biggest thing around....

Still have it... Still play it... Go MARIO CART haha ! It's sweet... [}:)]

I remember when NSW won the State of Origin series so many years running that the media types were questioning whether it was worth having any more or should just get abandoned.

i remember going to a party with dad and coming home with mom

.....getting a lift on dad's new (pre-loved) motorbike when I was 7 - (70's), around the neighbourhood wearing nothing but shorts, thinking I was the coolest kid.

.....getting my first bike....an old malvern-star frame that dad found at the tip, and painted up for me! (couldn't ride it for a couple of years, it was an adult-size frame.....I was about 9)

.....sneaking a peak at 'Abigail' nude on the telly through my pre-pubescent years!
