My mum, bless her RIP, kept a shit load of my stuff...

4yo Wylde jnr currently enjoys my Star Wars, He Man, Mask and WWF figurines as well as hand held 1980s electronic games like Donkey Kong etc.

So awesome seeing him play with them.

That's awesome mate....

So freaking jealous...

I had like 30 wwf characters including the ring...its gone...

I had he man and skeletor...the he man figure had a place for caps in the back so when he punched it made an almighty crash sound....its gone....

But alas I still have my knight rider car...kit...with hasselhoff figure...

So many memories....just gone...

Edit...that donkey Kong game is worth a bit of cash...keep it mate...keep it all for as long as you can

The pre-internet version. Took me a long time until I realised the author's name was 'Alphabetical order' in Strine.

Samples here.

An example
Air Fridge: A mean sum, or quantity; also: ordinary, not extreme. As in 'The air fridge person; the air fridge man in the street'.

Just remembered about the one show I loved as a little tacker Felix the cat.
Good old you tube.

Matthew Corbett? Still alive, he handed the Sooty show over to a younger guy when he retired.

Never watched it myself but missus loved it and we got about 20 vhs of the show from eBay.

Well show some gumption and spin, spin, spin!

Isn't that what India did in the T20.

Nobody spin's like Murray Walker.

I dunno I'm 19 and my reference hit rate around my mates is like one in a hundred

"that's my bit of lager"
"xxx xxx xxx 2000"
"Do the xx have large talons?"

Pulling out obscure and completely non-descript references is where the true joy is. 98% of the time your strange comment will be passed off as the behaviour of an oddball, but when that 2% recognition rate comes through you'll have a pal for life.

I read that book many (many, many) years ago. Emma Chissit these days

Nobody spin's like Murray Walker.

A mate and I used to organise our own corporate box at the last 4 Adelaide GP's, we were in the SAJC Car Park area, next to the armed services, near where the C9 box was, so the area had our own toilet facilities.

I was standing at the urinal when Murray stood next to me. I had already downed a few beers and I started going "spin, spin, round, round" to which I received the reply "you're not the first, and you won't be the last".

Later that same day I tried recruiting Mark Soderstrom to Salisbury North. Didn't know him from a bar of soap and just said "you got some size about you, would you want to earn a few bucks at Salisbury North"? He knew our coach at the time, Jason Roe, and said he liked the offer (and I was in a position to offer him a bit of coin once I found out who he was) but said he would stay at North Adelaide.

Or, at worst, a pal for several seconds while we enjoy the reference, before realising we have nothing in common

Shear genius!

Wont anyone think of the sheep?

 

[PowerKat]

When they wash your hair with your hangover headache tho

Hnnnngg

Best - I get an actual head massage as well when they do the treatment

And it's a girl's hairdressers too so it will go on and on horribly for hours and cost as much as a PAFC Gold Membership. I had my hair cut the other day, 27 seconds and the change in my pocket.

Yeah well, over 2 hrs, its true but I don't think I'd look my best with your hairdo

Anyhoi pushing through now, after high tea for mum's birthday, off to the pub for another birthday shortly #*^%!

 

[Eddie Dingle]

That was ****ing horrible.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Best - I get actual head...

Please stop.

I read an article the other day and the topic was "Are happy ending massages for chicks a real thing?"

I don't know how to use the spoiler tag things so you'll have to do your own research.










I won't spoil the ending.

In 1991 7 laps to go, Senna's gearbox gets jammed and only has 6th gear, he wants to stop, but has never won a home Brazilian Grand Prix, so drives on and wins. His muscles are crammed up at the end and struggles to take his hands of the steering wheel, get out of the car and even lift the trophy. Shear genius!

I still think his best ever win was the 93 European GP at Donnington. Qualified 4th, quickly dropped to 5th but then passed Prost, Hill, Schumacher and Wendlinger by the end of the 1st lap in torrential rain. Lapped all but one of the field and set the fastest lap in the lemon of a car that was the the McLaren Ford. Had plenty of luck with retirements and gambled with tyres staying out in slicks when others pitted for wets. Gutsy win. Hard to believe that within 12 months of this race he would be gone.

Who told Serena that yellow was a good colour on her? should be shot

As long as you keep going at a faster pace, you should be ok.

That and his drives in the Toleman Monaco 84 in the wet, and Portugal 85 in the lotus.
Last win was on our own streets, shame he went to Williams not Ferrari at the end of 93.

Who remembers this? Was a huge hit here in 1977.

As a regular reader of Dan Savage's column and listener to his podcast, I am aware that they are indeed a real thing.

Sooty was the best show on Channel 2 growing up.

I seen two girls bouncing red ballons on string at my gym, instantly I started singing "bounce bounce bounce the ball bouncing's so mutch fun, use your fist your hands or wrists but keep it on the run"....

Kids shows are stained in your brain forever.
