As a kid, (o.k. I'm still a kid trapped inside a grown up's body)
Saturday, morning, cartoons from 7am to 9am
Ch 7 9am Sound Unlimited with Donny Sutherland.
Ch 9 saturdays, Joe the Gadget man had a show on from 11.30am.
Then that bloke B.P.Santmaria, with his "point of View" from 11.55am, then the wrestling.
Then on ABC at 3pm the footy was televised.
ABC 5pm repeat of the previous week countdown.
I remember this very well, when I was 10, as I was sick for 3 mths in 1975, for all of winter months.
Dad put a black and white tele in the room I was in at home, to make it a bit more bearable.
He would sit with me, during the footy matches, and if i did not understand, a ref decision he would explain.
To this day, this is one of the reasons, I always enjoy/cherish the time watching the footy with my dad, and thoroughly enjoy spending time with him and mum. Dad is 91, mum is 86\. :master: :righton:
When wests-tigers win we ring each other straight away.

A simple question:
As we get older, do we appreciate things more ?

I had the dubious honour of playing a Presidents cup game for Parra against Norths, At LO ,And lost, I think it was the first win that Norths had wom any junior Rep game in years. The ground was east west then and had a howling gale blowing all afternoon , the worst windy game that I ever played in

Who had fun, going to the drive in movies.
One at North Ryde, Dundas, Bass Hill, Blacktown and also at French's Forest.
So much fun " watching the movie' with girlfriends. :sunglasses:
At that time, I didn't realise the " importance" of tinted windows. :bulb:
That quickly changed. :smiley:

Is anyone else starting to get 😛ray: creaks and aches in their shoulder joints ? :unamused:
Or is it just me, from a " couple of times" crashing and coming of pushbikes, especially doing " wheelies" and "rear wheel slides/broadies" over the years. :laughing:

Bung left knee.
Bursitis in right shoulder after broken collarbone, dislocated shoulder and fractured neck from bike accident 30 years ago.
Seems to be a new cavity in a tooth every dentist visit.
Eyes and ears failing.
Ingrown toenails requiring personal surgery every few months… Owwww.... Just gouged one out last night... Dettol, hot water, beta dine, bandaid and some pointy metal thing does the trick
Steel caps every day don't help

Just under 49 and I think we can learn a lot from each other.
I remember riding my Free Spirit yellow BMX purchased from Waltons to LO. On the red ratler to Petersham and then ride to Henson park to watch the Jets, it shame I never went to lidcombe.
Drive ins, roller rink at carlingford, Mazda rx3, scateboards no wider than your foot that would foul up on a grain of sand and send you head over heals, 20c pinball games, hot chips in paper with a ltr of viniger (for free), slot cars and so on…....
I must say I love my iPad, power tools, big screen TV, modern cars, I can be in touch with my kids at any time with mobile phones and so on....
A couple of weeks ago I went to the shops I had to ring home, didn't have my mobile, thought I'd use a pay phone, do you recon I could find one?
Pain away it helps with all aches!!

And building bully carts, we used to go to the fruit shops and take the old wooden crates that fruits arrived in and use them as seats by knocking out one end. Then walk for ages trying to find old prams which have been discarded and take the wheels from them and add them to the cart. The great thing back then there were much less cars on the road and no weekend shopping, until Thu nigh and Sat morning came in.
