You could open the train doors while it was going
Double decker buses
Watching the Roosters play at the Sydney Sports Ground.

I remember being a little girl sitting on my Nanna's knee and helping her sew on her treadle sewing machine. Wonder what she would make of the new computerised ones today?
Also remember my Mum wearing gloves and a hat whenever she went to church, CWA meetings, local agricultural show.

Still got one of them suckers at home.

You could open the train doors while it was going

and open the windows........push them up & feel the wind in your face. Whenever up from the country, we kids would insist on a train ride from Freo to Perth and back.

The kids at school would start with tom thumbs in the toilets and progress to pennies, bungers and doubles. Then on to railway detonators and finished with 2 sticks of gelignite, 2 cisterns ended up in the roof and a hell of a mess. He had another 6 sticks sweating in his bag in a locker. Needless to say we didn't see him around school much after that.

[Guest]

I remember television when it didn't suck.

And when Katie Ritchie wasn't that chick who did a sex tape and is on another bloody cop show.

For Fittler's sake, I remember The Sullivans, Cop Shop, Prisoner, The Young Doctors and a young, and quite nubile, Penny Cook on A Country Practice.

Here's one, does anyone remember the show "Willing and Abel", it was a blink and miss it kind of show. Starring Shane Wittington and Grant Dodwell.

How about "Sweet and Sour" with David Reyne?
