You know you're nearing 50 in Adelaide, when you remember...

[Magpiespower]

Stealing bottles of Loys soft drinks when the Loys man would do the rounds on his truck...

Buying fingerbuns off the Tip Top man when he would do the rounds in his van...

And you could only buy them at Shell Service Stations.

To this day, my sister-in-law is haunted by my demands, some would say tantrums, to take me to BP and buy...

Ringing radio stations for requests, and they would actually play them. 5KA, and then KA-FM, must have gotten sick of me after a while. Mind you, I did win - twice - their Friday night competition, which was 20 singles from CC Records in Rundle Mall, of my choice.

the football, meat pies, kangaroos and holden cars ad ...

when Brooke Shields was a virgin

Professor Sumner Miller ... why is it so?

World Championship wrestling ... Brute Banard, Mario Milano (the sleeper hold), Killer Karl Kox, Tiger Singh, Killer Kowalski.


Jeez, this thread is making me feel old!

Waiting for ages and ages at McDonalds if u dared order a burger without something eg pickles

This was a deliberate ploy at our place to ensure the food was actually fresh (well as fresh as you get at McDonalds)

Listening to CHIIIIIIIIIICKEN MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN and How Green was my Cactus every morning before school

Hearing Party Town every Friday morning on SAFM

I got sick of my job
Sick of my life
Sick of my futre
and sick of my wife

Packed up my bags
and I got some Gas
Told Everybody they can kiss my ass

I'm gonna party town
yeah yea
I'm gonna party down
yeah
gonna have some fun
gonna fool around
right here in party town...

Sun goes up
Sun goes down
doesn't really matter in Party Town
We go all day
and we go all night
we keep on going till we get right

chorus x 2

Sitting on a vinyl seat in a Red Hen on a hot day, with the door open next to you.

And being allowed to smoke

Unfortunately, I won both lots in 1988, meaning that any LRB singles were long deleted . Reasonable degree of U2, Noiseworks and...um...a few others in there

Revenge of the nerds and Crocodile Dundee, great 80's products.

"That's my Pi!" (one of the few times Ted McGinley participated in something without killing it)

Going to Hindley Cinema at the end of each school term with the rest of the blokes (and some ladies) to see the latest flick. That got brought back to me today when going to Big W and finding a copy of "Cocktail" on sale for $5.87 - the memories that flick brings back for a young bloke, on a first date...
