Brings back childhood memories .... :whistle:

The Old Man gave me a ' flogging ' for doing that.

It bent the clothes line ...he had to straighten it a few times.

Hello,

Can't help but remember the council bin liner bags made excellent grass toboggans from that photo for some reason. Must be the background being so green.

They must have had a slow connection: only three kids online with the others waiting to get on. :P Of course the younger ones were more prone to dropping out.

[FlashDrive]

Good One ....:D

[RB]

They also sounded different when they ping...

:lol:

[multiweb]

:lol: Didn't have Hills clothe lines when I was little but we had tourniquets. They were brutal. You could pull some serious Gs. Being ejected usually didn't end up too good. :lol: Did you have them too?

[RB]

Yep we had them...
Could use one now...
Make me look youngger again, lol

:D

[FlashDrive]

I couldn't stay on them for too long, as soon as I jumped off, I'd throw up all over the place .....:( ...too much ' head spin ' .

[leon]

A lot of the good stuff back then is gone, :sadeyes: claimed to be dangerous for our little Pets now, boy, did we take some bark off in those days.:lol::lol:.
I suppose they cant fall off an IPad :P

Swam in muddy Dams when I couldn't even swim, sank home made Canoes in that said Dam, rode horses that we corralled from the neighbors and rode them bare back, a bit of rope for a bridle, disappeared into the bush all day with ferrets and went rabbiting.

The list goes on:thumbsup:

Hello,

Who didn't used to ride the tilt-a-door garage door up in the air when they were young?

You'd think you'd be pretty save with that one, apart from maybe falling awkwardly... But I went to high school with a bloke who lost the tip of his nose by a miss judge swing. Caught the bottom of the garage door on a bit of raw edge steel as it swung past. The nose had a solid flat end in high school, so he must have taken a huge chuck off the tip as a kid...

All the above, yep I was there, memories! Although not the roller door.

Used to be towed on a car bonnet and rope by another car in a paddock.
Fireworks night, wow miss that. A friend just came back from Darwin and they still have it like it was in the 70s, crazy in the streets. :2thumbs:

[FlashDrive]

Then there was the ' homemade Billy Cart ' ... a piece of rope for steering the front wheels..... a wooden fruit box for a seat.... find the biggest hill in the neighborhood and go hell for leather down the hill .....:lol:
Sometimes I'd lose control and crash half way down and end up with skin taken off....then back up the hill and do it again.....:eyepop:

[multiweb]

:lol: I recall a ride in QLD surfers years ago called the Vomitron. It was like an industrial size lettuce spinning basket.

I found the internet in a proper way used by kids.
They get dancing, painting, and fancy working ideas from videos and go using them.
Upbringing gets its effectiveness by leveraging internet use :)

Still they play with muddy stuff in the yard :)

We had Twitter when we were growing up.
His name was Charlie.
All you had to do, to get the word out, was to preface anything you tell Charlie with:

"I've got a secret Charlie...."

And then, just look at your watch... TikTok, TikTok...

Bam....!!!

everyone knew...

{Bonus, there was no censorship with Charlie.}

:lol:

[redbeard]

Although I think you still need to be careful as I've heard they can crash for no reason. :P

[leon]

Good one David, love it.:lol:

Leon:thumbsup:

[JA]

I think I know the guy RB - You could read his Face like a Book :D

[RB]

That's him JA !!
He used to be a zuker for all things gossip.
We'd make things up just to watch him gooble it up.

:lol:

[JA]

Nice 1 RB :thumbsup:

I heard that after a shaky start and some CIA seed capital he ended up becoming more famous and generated more money than the Big Mac Hamburger

(sorry I couldn't do it au naturel and had to mispell) :D
