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

[GWW]

Pseudo, you'll now be able to start a "I fed Mr Percival" group on Facebook

[CENTURION]

actually, he/she/it only died about 3 or 4 years ago.

[dedja]

Yep, didn't Mr Percival go to see out his remaining days there?

As a wee young fella on a school trip I got to feed Mr Percival by holding out a fish clamped between a couple of sticks. Got given a sticker which read "I fed Mr Percival".

"Storm Boy" was one of my best mates at Primary School ... boy did he cop it about those couple of movies he did.

You know you're nearing 40 in Adelaide ....

when you ARE 40 in Adelaide.

My eyes are dim, my back is bent, my legs are old and knackered...

Know the feeling mate. Hit that milestone yesterday myself.

I knew I was heading downhill a while back when my beard started going grey.

Cheers

Morialta and Norwood were separate high schools back then ... correct, Greg went to Morialta.

My fooffer valve is shot to hell, that's why my jocks are cackered...

(Nice work 'Pseudo', who can continue this classic piece of poetry ?)

You remember driving through Two Wells and Virginia when travelling on Main North Road to Port Wakefield....

You remember the crawl at 80 km an hour behind a caravan from Port Wakefield back into Adelaide at the end of School holidays (no dual carraige way = no overtaking opportunity) on the same route.

[CENTURION]

you remember the rolling wheel petrol station on the corner of Main North Road & Park Terrace Brahma Lodge.

[smac]

I remember driving past it when it burnt down!

Cher's concert at the Adelaide Grand Prix...

Cher's concert at the Adelaide Grand Prix...

She had to show the world that she had real class so she made a film clip and bared her ass, in front of the entire navy

Sorry couldn't help myself

Going to BP for a Smurf...

or a smurf ice-cream!

Yummo!

"Collecting Smurfs is Smurfy!"

The legend was that if you licked them, they were covered in lead based paint allegedly. This went around the same time as the "Eating Pop Rocks and Coke will make you explode" like some kid on TV in the States allegedly did.

When petrol stations sold Super, Standard and Diesel only, and kids like me used to buy the soccer balls there for $1.99 to kick around at school.
