Things you remember that don't exist anymore....

[Albi]

Shakes: a chocolate milk drink kind of like Moove, but the more you shook it the thicker it got.

Catching the bus to Kambah for 10 cents.

All day at Jamison slide for $4

Civic pool entry, $1

Full bag of mixed lollies for 20 cents

Being able to buy grog from the local corner store.

When I bought my first car ('76 Gemini) petrol was only 60c litre.

Buying Cases of VB for my year 12 formal For $18

Bought my Commodore 64 in 1984 at Steve's Computers in Fyshwick. Anyone else remember that place?

Petrol was 66.9 cents in Ayr in 1996

Steel VB cans not the thin **** they are now.

Sleep. Goodness me.

Early days my friend.



Smoking in clubs. Man... I miss that. I know smoking is a filthy habit but it goes hand in hand with a beer for me; hate being relegated to a dingy area. And it was awesome chuffing down rums and smokes at the casino on roulette binges.

Stuff you can still find, but isnt common per se;
-cap guns
-water balloons
-playing at school grounds on w/ends

...I'll add more as I think of them.

I was working at Schweppes when made and ran DR Pepper. It didn't last long

The stuff never sold , it was disgusting

[dubby]

You can buy Dr pepper and root beer in IGA stores, and at Coles. I love the stuff. Cold root beer on a hot day is unbeatable

If we're talking prices, a packet of cigarettes for $1.20 where the same pack now costs about $20

But it's not the proper Dr pepper it's the high fructose corn syrup crap. Ironically Woolworths down here has a UK section with UK Dr pepper which tastes better.. Ironically it's sugar based and brewed under license by coke lol.

Cheapest I remember fuel since I've been driving is 65c back in '97.
When I started smoking, a pack of 20's was about $3.50 at the newsagents (supermarkets wouldn't sell to me because I was under age).
Neighbour across the road used to get me XXXX ctns for $15 a pop.
When I was at school in Canberra choc drops and fruit balls were 1c each; a meat pie from the canteen was 80c.
Ironically I remember pizzas (Silvio's, later dominos) was relatively expensive! But there were 3 sizes.

Have you listed to the new album yet. I've only really listed to the non deluxe album. It's not his best work, but probably his best stuff post curtain call and on par with recovery, and is far better than most mainstream crap I mean rap.

[ForeverMcCrone]

I suggest that there be water girls

wont be much good to you, ive made a special rank for non raiders fans that join this board -

Raiders groupie for the chicks
Wannbe Raider for the blokes

Wow remember When it was like 85 cents and as soon as the Iraq war hit it went above a dollar... Then it hasn't gone back since..

I haven't yet to be honest DBOT. I lost a lot of interest after Curtain Call. I'll give it a shot sometime.

I don't blame you to be honest. Relapse was pretty bad. If you listen to it a few times it grows on you. Recovery wasn't too bad. There's a few tracks with the new album where it's hit or miss. Think it's about 9 to 15 where it's more a reflection on previous albums and life and it's not for everyone where as from 1 to 8 is pretty solid. Not great and no Marshall mathers 2 in terms of what a sequel should be.. But overall I'd give it a Papalli out of 10 (ie a 6.6)

A good Eminem single

Honestly, "Berserk" "Survival" and "Symphony in H" are in my current play list. The man spits lava as far as I'm concerned.

You can still get them at woolies, but they don't seem as sherberty as when we were kids. I'm not sure if its our taste bud maturing or the sherbert being diluted with corn flour. Alos, did you ever notice how sometimes you'll get two or even three spoons in one pack and then none in another? Weird.

[Raidersrawesome]

Wizz fizz

Still get them , with the little spoon

Calling your crush's house and hoping her parents didn't answer.

When I was 13 or 14, before mobile phones, I can remember riding my bmx to a phone booth to make that call with privacy and without being ribbed by my family.
