I don’t remember the re-runs of that one but it looks like one they would have played around that time slot as well. That was the way I’d kickstart my weekend with some kind of tasty breakfast cereal. Followed by hours of riding on the bike/skateboard, then play whatever video games we had access to, and then hiring a VHS movie with pizza on Saturday night. Good times.
Sounds like my childhood. We built bikes from spare parts we found on the street. Built go carts. Lost some elbow and knee skin in the process. Our parents used to pull our ears to get out of the house and told us to come back in when the street lights came on. Donkey Kong game & watch was a luxury lol.
They still use milk powder in many countries overseas. I think China is probably the biggest consumer.
Yep. And those no good lefties got rid of them. It was just chocolate for goodness sake.
Everytime I had only 10 cent left in my pocket that's what I would spend it on.
My Nanna would buy them for us at Peakhurst Heights shops that’s something I haven’t thought about in a long time ha ha
That’s awesome man. I’m glad I helped spark that memory.
Great memories. The local rags. Weren't they great when they'd have the souvenire edition when the Dogs made the finals. My favourite article in the torch was the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Yep I liked all the articles and they way they were simple to read. Tabloid print out as well made it easy to hold. The fact that it was focused on our community and had local classifieds in it as well was great.
I remember the Torch putting out a pretty good Bulldogs team poster each year. If you went to their office in Featherstone Street, Bankstown, you could grab a bunch of copies of the poster. I have a number of them framed from the early 90s.
I always use to flip straight to good bad ugly then bulldogs news.
I have a good story about The Leader the StGeorge Council paper my mate grew up in Lugarno and we left school Peaky High in year 12 and all were pretty aimless most of my mates did trades and are going really well I’m going okay work for myself ect ect but this mate replied to a shipping company ad out at Botany as a 18 year old in the job pages of the Leader.
Yes....fond memories
I remember in the late 80’s going down to Sydney 3 or 4 times each year to watch a Dogs game and the first thing we did was do a record store crawl like the one you mentioned, because the ones in Brisbane at the time were rubbish. There used to be 3 or 4 awesome secondhand record stores in the bottom bit of Pitt St near Central Station. And as young hard rocker, the first time I walked down those stairs at Utopia into that Martin Place store was like walking into another dimension. It was pretty small store, but we used to spend 2 or 3 hours in there every time literally looking at everything they had. Always returned back to Brisbane with some cool goodies from there.
