I remember as a 7 year old filling the old wash tubs with yellows from the Parroo river

I remember climbing down 200 ft cliffs at Jervis Bay on a shitty old rope to catch a few pigs (God were we really that silly)

I remember my old Quinne fishabout going out to the peak

I remember Kings and Tuna Schools that thick under the old Gladesville bridge, you could gaff them from the jetties.

I remember thick schools of Kings under the wreck on the Stockton breakwall.

I remember watching B/W tv outside the local electrical shop on school nights.

I remember doing maths at school without a calculator

And so on and so on, ahh the memories

Cheers Warren

Rather current this one:

I remember when you didn't have to spend at least 500 bucks a kid, just to pile prezzies for the kids under the tree.

I remember when an orange or mandarin in your stocking was enough to put a smile on your face and terry's chocolate oranges were unheard of.

I remember when hams went down in price at Xmas, not up.

I remember when you could find sixpences in your xmas pud...........now they're individual puddings and you can't get the bloody lid off the things!

I remember Xmas capons that were as big as bloody turkeys and better tasting.

and one for kingcobe............I remember when the kids took the Chrizzy baloons and rubbed 'em and stuck 'em to their hair and arms and didn't use 'em for water bombing

I remember feeling stuffed for days after eating on Xmas day............just as I feel now

I remember making ham and lentil soup, turkey and vegetable soup, and pork patties from all the leftovers...........nowadays i just can't be arsed and the dog has a big smile on his face

Mate, I had a 10 kilo pork leg, a turkey (first time since coming to Oz), and a ham. Everybody here loves pork and as they'd not had turkey before, these two took a hammering...........the ham was practically untouched Spent all this morning making pea and ham soup. With a full ham to go at I've got the meatiest 20 litres of soup I've ever made and you can stand a spoon up in it. It's just a pity I didn't check the freezer first.............nowhere to put it, so it seems we're on soup every day for the next week Reckon it's gonna be a bit windy down our way
