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

[Magellan]

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

Sad.

39? Whippersnapper.

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.

You try and tell the kids of today's that, and they won't believe you.

Sounds horrendous.

[Psyber]

When I was 33 I was newly divorced, had a sports car, and it was the mid 1970s when women were liberated.
I didn't have time to even notice anything else,,.

(It was a Golden Age all you whipper-snappers have missed.)

But you can only handle it for so long:
Marriage 1. 1967 to 1975. (Divorce)
Marriage 2. 1984 to 2008. (Wife's death)
New spouse type relationship from late 2015.

Go on, you know you want to tell us about that raunchy night at Jules after a cask of sparkling Renmano when you chatted up Abigail whilst holding hands with Germaine Greer who at the same time secretly pinched Junie Morosi's bum.

All whilst Jane Scali and the Tony Bartuccio Dancers performed on stage.

It was Stormy Summers after party that got the "mood" going.

What a cracker of a night. It was apparently reported in detail the next day on Lionel Williams' Woman's World and Touch of Elegance, with reports provided later by Nona Burden and Caroline Ainslie on the Channel 9 news, and an in-depth analysis by Guy Blackmore during "State Affair" at 7 o'clock.

Molly was aghast that he hadn't been invited and Woodrow was.

Meanwhile, there was a brawl outside between Winky Dink, Rock Wallaby, and the giant North Melbourne-supporting kangaroo from "Shirl's Neighbourhood". There was fluff and string everywhere.

But I don't complain.

This medley shows up a few things of interests, in particular:

TV shows that were rated "AO" (anyone remember the really naughty ones that were censored and rated something like "AO mod for TV vers?");
7 digit phone numbers; and
Z-grade mid-dawn TV ads (I'm looking at you, Lin Andrews from Lin Andrews Real Estate)

Remember Kerry Packer calling the C9 studio and reportedly saying "Get that shit off my station!" when it was an Adults Only show, it was "Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos". He was at a dinner party, some people told him about the premise of the show (he'd not see many of the promo's ) and he went into another room and watched it for less than 3 minutes, called the station and said "Get that shit off my station". The series was off the TV within 3 minutes.

I recall it well, it was late '92 and I had just finished my year 12 studies and was into exam mode.

They then waited until Kerry hopped off the twig to show the complete episode......

[Magellan]

Reckon I saw this go to air as well in 1992. It was hosted by Doug Mulray and mysteriously stopped about a third of the way through IIRC.

That's the one, KP wasn't much for it.

Not a bad thing in some respects, Channel Nine today could use a touch of class.

Yes, they could run it head-to-head against SAS-10's "A Touch Of Elegance"
