Born in 1954, I can relate to most of this conversation. I was around when some trains arriving at the station were steam trains and when trams ran in Sydney. Most of all I was there to see the many famous St George players conquer Rugby Leage in Australia when famously winning 11 consecutive premierships.lets give it to to okb me and garth are just kids.
I heard that you were caught cheating at finger painting in kindergarten.Yep, l flunked kindergarten and had to repeat. We did mathematics, pythagerious and all that stuff back then.... think l failed English too although l think l got dux of the class in woodwork.
The family was going to hold my schooling off till calculators were invented but my future wife didn’t want me attending school with our kids.

Yes, I can remember trams running along Harris Street Pyrmont and Ultimo when I was a kid growing up in a two storey terrace house in Harris Street Pyrmont opposite the old Goldsbrough Mort Building which was an auction and brokered wool warehouse then. In fact, I can remember falling once as I tried to board a tram which was just taking off. Luckily I did't hurt myself.Born in 1954, I can relate to most of this conversation.

Our playing squad, leagues club and Club administration was top shelf during this era. Since then only great coaches Harry Bath and Wayne Bennett have been able to steer our team to win a premiership - 1977, 1979 Harry Bath, 2010 Wyane Bennet.
