The Virgin Megastore in the then Myer Centre in Rundle Mall, and the spot on the ground floor where they provided headphones for you to listen to the latest releases.

They do good work at that shop. The big breakfast at the bakery is well worth a go too.

I was just about to turn 33 when this thread started... and now I"m pushing 40 (well 39 this year).

Sad.
I love 'Food and Stuff'. It's where I buy all of my food. And most of my stuff.

I know what you mean. With every day I creep closer to 40.
And...the only song I can think of which mentions being 40 is:

Hardly comforting.

Back when I was 33 we never had none of your fancy bell-type two-way electronical internet 'threads', all we had was old rope and an off-cut of second-hand string if we were lucky!

You lucky bastard, when I was 33 I had to walk through 8ft of snow with bare feet and dysentery just to get to a man with a donkey who could only transmit a four letter sentence on a Sunday with a full moon after the second incarnation of a bedouin transsexual.
