Thomas the Tank Engine - voiced by Ringo Starr

3/4 sleeve footy & cricket shirts/jerseys

MacIntosh toffees

Sega Mega Drive II (Toejam & Earl was the bomb!)

Snow (the musician, not the white bullshit)

3/4 sleeves were all the go

Anyone else have these, drink them, then blow them up, and pop them by stomping on them in the schoolyard at lunch?

Yes.

Very racey tv for 1972 but would be viewed as a comedy these days

Rich kids being banned from wearing footy boots as they caused injuries to kids who couldnt afford them
Going fishing fishing with a stick and 10ft of line and actually catching fish ( A lot of water between each fish now days)
Local shops and no chain stores
The Argonauts on ABC radio ...No tv then
Party lines were a phone system not a coke binge

A painful reminder.
A lot of trampolines now have covers over the springs but back when I was a nipper there were a few occasions I jumped too reckless and landed balls first on the springs.

Who stayed up or peaked behind the door for this?

I got an unexpectedly huge double bounce on our old rectangular trampoline back when I was in early teens and flew threw the air landing square on my stomach on one of the rounded steel corners.

Knocked the wind clean outta me and was groaning for like 5 minutes thinking I was dying, then recovered pretty quickly after realising I was pretty lucky to avoid any kinda injury!

Yay the wild west 90's hehe!

How hot would those vinyl ones get in summer. Then someone would hose it to cool it down, making it so much more dangerous now that it was slippery.

Would turn the sprinkler on underneath it on hot days.

On a similar note - coming down one of these blistering-hot slippery dips wearing shorts in summer..

I can hear that shuddering noise of skin rubbing on metal as I type this... and mum getting out the burns creme and mercurochrome ..
