When I was a lot younger

[Flowerpot]

I can vaguely remember a black and white ad on the TV for Cadbury chocolate with Professor Julius Sumner Miller going on about a glass and a half of milk in every block.

Hey he's in colour there??? We musta only had a b&w for years.
Actually that's strange because it seemed more like 1968 to me, not 1988.
Huh there ya, my memory is fading in my old age.

Absolutely all of the above davent.
Man I loved being a kid, scrounging wood and corrugated iron to make cubby houses,
Riding the pushbikes down to the river and tying a rope to an old gum tree to swing off in the summer holidays.
Making sling shots and cracker gun see to shoot marbles through paling fences.
Those were the days.

I don't consider myself that old at 59 but reading all these posts, I must be. Stoyve your memories are so real to me also that I can almost smell them.
Building tree houses and playing war with the heaps of grouse army surplus stuff we would get for Xmas from army disposals, tin hats, ammo belts mock 303 rifles boots and coats etc etc. we had our own world wars that made the summers just roll past with bliss.
I remember a big treat was at 6pm every Sunday we would walk up the shop and I would get a Tarax and then me and dad would watch Zorro together.

This formidable swirling toilet was an Australian product, designed for use in unsewered areas, and available from hardware retailers from the 1930s to the 1970s. Called the Hygeia Dissolvenator, it consists of a toilet pan mounted on a cylindrical tank. When the lid of the seat was lifted a geared mechanism rotated the material in the tank. Broken up by this mechanical action and disinfected by caustic crystals that were added each week, the resulting sterile solution could be discharged into the soil. The rotating action of the tank was the reason this toilet was popularly called the chocolate wheel. The manufacturers advertisements claimed that Hygeia Dissolvenators were odourless, but many country people recall that they were anything but.

They still have them in places where state propaganda rigidly enforced such as Ireland.

For example when Irelands economy was on the brink of collapse the state broadcaster, RTE, informed the public thst Ireland didnt need a bailout and the IMF (international monetary fund) were 'not in town'.
Meanwhile the BBC and every other station was showing the IMF leaving government buildings in Dublin after signing the Irish taxpayers to billions of euro private unsecured bond debt.

Corruption capital of Europe?

When i was a lot younger i got a superman suit off Santa,
as pumped as, donned the suit and headed for the chook house.
I was walking on air.

The old man was coming down the driveway when
i attempted a take off on top of the chook house ,
away i went, straight down, into the chook crap,
my self confidence ruined, never heard the old man laugh so much.
Completely pissed off with Santa for giving me a dud suit.
