Old Farts Memories & Discussions

[Tigerm]

For those over 60, who are young at heart and old in memory, without the politics.

I am younger than the mountains, but older than the trees.

Love the WT’s, caravanning , music and the misses & kids (of course), in case they read this, maybe or maybe not necessarily in this order

I'm older than the mountains and most trees too

This thread is a brilliant idea. Somewhere safe for us to go away from those young whipper snippers with their aggressive foul mouthed comments.
See? What I just said confirms I'm an old fart.
I dunno, something about this thread feels like a comfortable old arm chair already.

Hey Mojo, nice to meet you.
Makes for a change that you and I have the classification of being Juniors eh?

 

[Ned Kelly]

Favourite shows as a kid.
Zorro and The Lone Ranger.

The players you blokes have had, Provan, Gasner, Smith and Raper instantly come to mind.

For us, Beetson, Provan, Bolton & Leo (to many to name them all) are still embedded.

Yep, the Phantom Agents as well.

Still love westerns, especially with the Duke.

Forgot “the Samurai” yeah a goodun.

The Lone Ranger had Tonto but I think The Samuai topped that with Tombay the Mist.
Loved it when they would walk into a room with the Eager Ninja's up in the ceiling and react by saying " Huh, What's this?"

Anyone here old enough to remember the last time we played finals?

Yes, we were lucky to see them all play.

Tarzan, king of the jungle. Boy, and Jane, always trying to teach him English words (when he would have only ever had one thought in his head when she was around). Thick as two short planks.

See, I was going to join in this chat with the more distinguished ( not extinguished ) of us . . . . but it seems that you blokes are really old. Unlike me, having only received his seniors card just a few short months ago.
I never did get into the lone ranger type shows . . . probably more the cartoons. Maybe a reduced attention span because of all the animation ? But Top Cat ruled.
Our childhoods were different, and I think so much better.
These wokeys of today don't even know what a slug gun is, let alone how to shoot it.
They don't know the joys of a 2c scollop, a 5c bag of hot chips or a 35c hamburger.
Or the unknown dangers of consuming whatever you wanted before driving, and next to no chance of being caught( don't drink and drive, kids )
Or going fishing and actually coming home with fish without being hounded by some soy/vegan/animal rights activist hippy chained to the boat ramp cleaning tables.
Or seeing a map of Tasmania. And not the one that shows where all the nasty big corporation logging and dam building is taking place. The fun one.
Or going to the drive in. And feeling a map of Tasmania.
All the fun shit.
They don't get 2 free donuts with their coffee from the good people at Donut King, do they ? NO.
As the saying used to go: " suck on that "

Keith Barnes, can remember his last game at Leichhardt.

I can remember when Leichhardt Oval ran east/west.
When Pratten Park was the home of the Magpies

Rin Tin Tin & Bonanza

 

[Das Hassler]

Friday nights...Bonanza and "Sing along with Mitch"
And a tip for the youngnz of today...if we needed some money we didn't bug our hardworking parents...we made our own after school by going out and robbing a hardworking paperboy !

Just kidding

I thought the Bugs Bunny show would be your go, with Bugs, Daffy, Porky, Foghorn (of course) and the many others
