Reminders of your childhood

[horrie hastings]

Watching an old test match from 1978 - Aus v NZ at the SCG....

I love seeing all the old signage around grounds in retro matches, and some companies long since gone by the wayside..

but saw on one for this..

I remember these ones also beside Freedent.

I dunno how we all didn't get epileptic fits after seeing this

yep. I went to school with the (Turner) twins in this ad. They were in a few other ads back then.

Posted somewhere earlier in this thread but one had an enormous crush on me in year 6 but I was an absolute buffoon and wouldn’t go out with her.

We went to different high schools after that, then I bumped into them many years later at a club. Both were absolute stunners... and i had absolutely no chance of making up for my younger buffoonery. What could have been..

Did anybody own a waterbed?

I was so envious of a friend that had a waterbed in their house, thought it was the most fun ever.

must be a reason they went out of fashion?

Watching these Vb ads take me back to a simpler time

Not me but there’s a place called “ultimate waterbeds” not far from where I live. I’ve been badgering my other half about getting one but she’s having none of it. I’m only half-serious though... her point, and maybe an answer to your last question, is they can be horrendous for backs... absolute spine-killers.

Classic ads. And the tag line has got to be one of the best in advertising. I’m not a vb fan but love the old ads like this.

Im not a fan really anymore, but as 18yr olds, it was just a given and not much variety back in the 90s as there is these days.

somebody told me once, that the waterbed has to be heated all year round as it was too cold even in summer, think they had a waveless version too, but as a kid, you wanted it as wavey as possible.

Lol even though it is a classic ad I was probably in my late 30s or early 40s when the ad came out so not really a memory of my child hood.
