Bali bombing - where were you?

[Dogwatcher]

I'd be interested to hear your recollections of the moon landing, Psyb.

There was not a lot to remember that has not been described many times - it was brief and grainy.
It was quite convincing and I don't believe the conspiracy theorists claim that it was faked.

My outstanding memory was having to raid the hospital store room for a broken down TV set and repair it myself so the medical staff could watch it as the doctors lunch room had no TV.
The other guys covered my patients while I took the back off to turn up the cathode gain to get a picture at all, and rigged an indoor antenna with wire paper trays bound together with sticky tape.

That's a great memory, Psyb. Didn't invite any patients in?

[Johno6]

That's rude, Johnno. Although I did think about asking about Psyb's recollections from when he heard that Hitler had crossed his troops into the Sudetenland.

atleast i wanted him to remember some more enjoyable moments,

[Dogwatcher]

What was enjoyable about the Ice Age, Johnno?

[saintal]

I remember studying while listening to the radio. Was a sunday morning I think.

They already had a much bigger TV set in each ward.
And, of course, the clerks had one in their office.

[Dogwatcher]

That would have been union regs...

[Psyber]

That would have been union regs...

Yes, a TV set for the two clerks in a small hospital that had 4 doctors there - and that in the days when doctors had got a ban the year before on being expected to work more than 80 hours a week and had just won penalties of time and a quarter for for being rostered on duty more than 50 hours a week!

[CENTURION]

I remember where i was for the twin towers, unfortunately would not have a clue where i was for this.

me too.

[CENTURION]

I remember the tsunami, I was going to Malaysia the very next day for a holiday, as for JFK's assassination, I was born on the day, 22nd November 1963.

[Sky Pilot]

what was your fondest memory of the ice age Psyber?

Absolute gold!!!

[Sky Pilot]

I reckon the Bali bombing is one of those moments in life where you will never forget where you were when you heard the news of the tragedy.

For many people, the assassination of JFK; man walking on the moon; Gough Whitlam's booting; John Lennon's death; Elvis Presley's death; Diana's passing; and 911 loom large in our thoughts.

But where were you when you heard of the Bali bombings?

I recall that I was returning from a footy trip with Loxton. We'd stopped at the Swan Reach Hotel about 1pm and were there with Ironbank, who were returning from Mildura, when I first heard.

I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing for all of those events except the death of Elvis and the Bali bombing. I saw the Bali thing on the news and was shocked and appalled but that's it.

Was sitting in a hire car in melbourne ready to go to a Sports medicine conference when I heard the news. Found out that day from a colleague that one of the kids I used to Tutor was one fo the victims, one bloke I weant to uni with was severly burnt and another bloke I knew through footy died as well.

not a good day.

I was half asleep the following morning (Sunday) with a stinking hangover due to a night out at Shenannigans pub. My Dad heard about it on the radio, knocked on my door and told me that there had been a bombing in Bali, the Sturt team were there and it looked like they were all dead. Fantastic way to wake up from a Sturt supporter's point of view which I am fully aware is nothing compared to what the families and friends of the victims were going through.

That's rude, Johnno. Although I did think about asking about Psyb's recollections from when he heard that Hitler had crossed his troops into the Sudetenland.

I was wondering what Troy was like in person.

[HH3]

Pretty sure Psyb's McGyvor...

And like other people, Im not sure when I first heard about the Bali Bombing. I remember 9/11 and the London Bombing. I also remember Diana, even though I was 7 or 8 at the time.
