I remember poking at the buttons with a broom stick because I was too lazy to get up.I remember when you had to walk right up to the TV and point right at it, or the remote didn't work.
When I was a kid, a cure for boredom (and test of masculinity) was taking a standard yellow #2 pencil and erasing a hole into the back of your hand with it. If you didn't cry out when the eraser created a searing red pathway of pain on your flesh, you were tough. Or stupid. Or some combination of both.
No, that's true. If a kid fell these days their parents would sue the tree, the owner of the tree, or both.Know what I haven't seen in decades? A kid climbing a tree.

I always wanted one of those big tree houses you saw in American TV and movies. Sadly, Aussie trees are unsuited to children's property development.

In a moment of wonderful nostalgia I seen a big brother kick down at his crying little brother whilst laughing and shaking the tree only last week.So I guess the old 'stamping on yer brothers fingers as he climbs up' is right out of the question nowadays then???
I told you that kids today are smarter than we were at their age. This, post confirms it.
I saw somebody on a payphone last weekend. I thought the box had been converted to a cash machine.I have a friend whose job was to service payphones (collect the coins, check the operational status, minor mechanical repairs, etc.). He was only let go within the last three years.
