I'd skin my son alive for doing any of the above.

Yes I would too dannyboy but as with our parents, how much do we know of what they get up to each day ;-)

Ignorance certainly is under-rated.

Yeah Slade were good. Also liked T-Rex. But one of my favourite from the early seventies was Devilgate Drive. Suzi in leather.

Watching dad burn anything and everything that was rubbish in the back yard and then throwing in an aerosol can - waiting for the explosion with fingers in our ears.

Them were the days.

Decimal Change Over Song
(to the tune of Click go the Shears)
In come the dollars and in come the cents
To replace the pounds and the shillings and the pence
Be prepared for change when the coins begin to mix
On the fourteenth of February 1966.

Chorus:
Clink go the coins, clink, clink, clink
Change over day is closer than you think
Learn the value of the coins and the way that they appear
And things will be much smoother when the decimal point is here.

In come the dollars and in come the cents
To replace the pounds and the shillings and the pence
Be prepared folks when the coins begin to mix
On the fourteenth of February 1966.

 

[newtownbluebags]

Empty Ice cream containers over the top of the milk bottles so the magpies couldn't peck through the silver bottle top lid :crazy:

Sung by Ian Turpie.

It's on a tape/CD (I've only seen a tape) called "Antipodean atrocities" put together by Glen A Baker. There's a song called "Surfer Doll" by Sir Robert Helpmann that is so bad it should be used to scare crackheads into giving it up.

[Crusher]

Footy in the back lane with back lane rules - a kick into the ingoal caught on the full was a try!
