Does this bring back memories ???

[primera man]

Go back in time .... before the Internet and DVDs.
Before shootings, stabbings, joy-riders and crystal meth...
Before SEGA or Super Nintendo and playstation 1/2. Way back...

I'm talking about hide and seek in the park.
The corner dairy, hopscotch, go-carts, cricket in front of the
rubbish bin

Skipping, handstands, footy on the best lawn in the street ...
Bullrush, go home stay home, slipnslide, the trampoline with water on it


Hula-hoops, pogo sticks, jumping in enormous puddles, mud pies ...
and building dams in the gutter.

Summer lasted all holidays and it hardly rained,
and when it did you would see half your class at the pictures.
The smell of fresh cut grass and making birds nests on the school
field.

"Big bubbles no troubles" 'with hubba bubba bubblegum.
A choc-top Mr Whippy cone on a warm summer night after you've chased
him round the block.


When 20 cents worth of mixed lollies was a meal and smoking fags was

really cool.

Watching cartoons, short commercials ...
The Thunderbirds, Scooby-do, Captain Caveman, Hong Kong Phooey,
The Mickey Mouse Club, Josie and the pussycats and ...
heeeey heeeeey heeeeeeey it's Faaaaaaat Albert!
And staying up late on a long weekend and watching the Sunday
Horrors.

When around the corner seemed far away, and going into town seemed
like going somewhere.


A million mozzie bites, wasp and bee stings.

Sticky fingers. Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians.

Riding bikes and catching tadpoles.

Swimming in the neighbour's pool, drawing all over the road with

chalk.

Climbing trees. Walking to school, no matter what the weather.

Running till you were out of breath. Laughing so hard that your

stomach hurt.

Jumping on the bed, pillow fights ...
Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for the
giggles.
Being tired from playing ... remember that?

The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.
Water balloons were the ultimate weapon.
Eating jelly crystals, making homemade lemonade.

There were two types of sneakers - girls and boys.
You knew everyone in your street - and so did your parents!
You would roller-skate everywhere all day.

It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.
You didn't sleep a wink on Christmas Eve.
When nobody owned a pure-bred dog.

When 20c was decent pocket money and 50c was rich.
When nearly everyone's Mum was at home when the kids got there from
school.
It was magic when Dad would "remove" his thumb.
When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner
at Cobb and Co with your parents.

Have you ever thought of putting wide wheels on your mobility scooter p-man?




geez.....[old fart voice]I remember when I was a lad[/old fart voice]


some stuff I remember..........

Getting clipped around the ear by the town copper.
Getting teeth pulled at the school dentist (without anasthaetic)
Getting beaten by the woodwork teacher.
Getting beaten by Dad for getting into trouble at school
Endless crappy scout camps
Falling off my Raleigh Chopper
Falling off my roller skates
Getting belted by just about everybody over the age of 12
Having to sit in silence for the 6 o'clock news
Not being allowed to use the phone,cost too much.
BLACK AND WHITE TV
