For cracker night we'd fill the old wheelbarrow up with dirt and start letting them off, have the catherine wheel nailed to the closest tree that would always get stuck :lol: my fav was the parachute cracker although the parachute would always end up about 5 neighbours houses down and we'd never find it

Cracker night was on my B'day weekend. I used to always think it was just for me. :lol: My Dad nailed the catherine wheel to the toilet door one year and burnt the bloody thing down!!!

a buttered roll and a pack of cheese twisties

Remember in the mid 80's the in thing was to drink Swan Lager :lol: I remember living in Queanbeyan watching Manly play the Raiders on the hill behind the goal posts and every 2nd person would have a can of Swan Lager in his hand :crazy:
