Remember when.....

[Wilesy]

Remember when…….you could buy a rifle at K-Mart?

I was 17 and told the girl behind the counter that I was 18, and I bought my first double barreled shot gun! ;D

Buying 5 packets of shells at the same counter, and carrying it to the boot of my brand new second hand EH Holden filled with bog….and heading bush with my mate to go shooting…..and I am only 42, so that was only back in 1978…………… :

My best mate Roger is 15 years older than me, and he has a son 10 years younger than me, and our worlds in which we grew up are that far apart, you wouldn’t believe it.

I used to buy doubled bunger fire works with my lunch money and letting them off in the girl’s toilet……

You would go to jail these day’s if you even talked about doing stuff like that……

10 years is a long time really…….10 years ago there was windows 3.1

Boy, am I glad I grew up when I did.....I can't imagine the memories of the kids today thinking about their high scores on playstation 2.....

lol.. how true wilesy..
unfortunately i missed out on buying a shottie from k fart.. but i sure remember buying bungers from the wog shop ( not used in a derogatory manner...) ( this also frustrates me.. why can't we speak like we would in private..everyone called it wogshop including the bloke that owned the joint!!!)don't get me started on that..lol..
anyway.. yeah i remember buying bungers from the local fish and chip fine dining establishment.. :-\

[Wilesy]

ROTFLOL,

The wog shop...I remember them...ours was called Calligerouse's....he had a finger missing.

You used to be able to pinch the Coca-Cola bottles from his back door, and bring them back into the shop and get your $.5c for them and buy a heap of cobber lollies 8) 2 for a cent

If you were a woos...you would buy musk sticks :

LOL.. cobber lollies.. they were the best!!
no musk sticks for me mate ;D ;D ;D

Im only 36, but I remember the milkman clip clopping up the street early morn, and the baker.

I remember guns at K Mart,

20c of chips, and 5c potato cakes, and winfield reds were $1.30 a pack of 20.....

There even used to be boxes of lollies called FAGS which were like cigarettes in a box, white with a red end, which have had a name change these days too.....

[Wilesy]

Lol,

Or the freckles my red headed mate used to buy....

Everyone back then had a red headed mate with freckles.

You would buy them and race away on your Malvern Star with your banana seat and sissy bar....

Sigh....

[johnn0]

...........and u didn't have to buy a gourmet tomato to get one that tasted like a tomato!

LMAO>. the fags.. they were a classic.. and you'd have one hanging out ya gob while riding that said malvern star with the banana seat ( with a card in the spokes! )
no stack hats then either!!!

only 21. probably the play station memories :'(

I remember going bush and IF!!!!!!!! you seen somebody with 5!!!!!! BFG muddies he was the MAN!!!!! and 33`s well that used to make you go behind a tree and have a pull :

I`m only 28 so I don`t have the memories of some here but I can remember the thunderbirds ;D

[slowlux]

i remember when i was a young boy going bush, and seeing the 95 hiluxs with lift kits and snorkels, i thought they were the biggest trucks in the world! of course at this time i was only a little bit bigger than the BF G's they had on. of course im only 16.

hilux, thats better than playstation memories ;D ;D ;D

thunderbirds are go.
or the star-trekkin film clip
"that's life jim but not as we know"

[Wilesy]

I remember me and my red headed mate Garry, treddlying on our push bikes for miles out of Armidale to a place called blue hole….

We both lay on the ground and drank clear water to our hearts content from the clear water stream.

As we were lying there, there was a little penny turtle swimming past us in the water we were drinking…..

You wouldn’t even wash your hands in the local creek these days…

The beauty of growing up in the country.

Walking through the bush as a 10 year old with your slug gun looking and feeling like a king with your rifle over your shoulder, ready to pop any unsuspecting bird or rabbit that may threaten our lives….

[slowlux]
