I bought one from Kmart two weeks ago for 60 dollars. Mainly for making soda water as a mixer with spirits. It takes a while to master the right amount of pushes so it's just right. We got some soda stream branded cordials as well for the kids, but will just use Cottees from here on in.

Yeah oilpanic was that double screen in a white case if memory serves. It got hard really quickly. My all time favourite hand held game was donkey kong junior. I clocked it about seven times one holiday.

The Dunny KT26s still exist. You can get them from Big W. I've got a pair that I use for obstacle courses like Tough Mudder. They've got fantastic grip.

I remember being 4 and it was cracker night in Canberra. We had a huge bonfire out the back yard and the entire street was there.. Great night, until the sparkler I was holding lit my flammable snow suit I was wearing and I become in an instant a 4 foot fireball of screams and tears until my mums boyfriend (an ambo) luckily threw me in the back yard pool. Third degree burns to my little toe on my left foot was the only damage..

Quite amusing at how relaxed everything was back then. There were so many things wrong with that night looking back now, but god they were fun times before the fun police killed off everything..

The kids of today will really miss out on what a childhood really was..

The UK Fosters is out of Liverpool is it not, or is that a rumour? That's what the barman over there told me.. I wasn't sure if it was even still ours?

RRA.. You are in the industry, is that true?
