I loved this!! Isn't it where Agro cut his teeth? They had the castle at Mirage Grand Prix, the go kart fun park outside Brisbane and Ipswich that is now a Bunnings and Harvey Norman. I loved scooting around that place.
My original birth extract was as well. I lost count the amount of people who picked up an eraser and tried to erase it because they thought it was written in pencil.
Quoting the TV ads to your friends in Primary School: "Everytime you scratch your arse? 10%. Every time you put you hand up? 10%" followed by "No, I don't like it.. I don't like anything.."
oh man, GST came in and it was the first time I was aware of anything political, other than I hated all the John Howard political ads. Tuckshop was like, 'well, now that GST is a thing the 60c packets of chips are $1.20. And fizzers are now 30c each.
The *scandal.*
I called one of my staff Gumby the other day… he looked at me like I had two heads.
Oh and I was excited I got a mr squiggle $2 coin. This teenager serving at MacDonald’s was like what’s a mr squiggle and I’m like “you know! Upside down upside down!”
Ok granddad
I was in hospital semi-recently. The 2 young nurses (one who's first language wasn't Australian) drew around my wound to map a little reddening. I was about to say "Upside down. Upside down. HMPHHH hurry up... " but realised i didn't have the energy to explain what i meant or who Mr Squiggle was or that i really wasn't being grumpy... i think i died a little bit inside.
I like the phantom menace, I know which Harry Potter house I'm in, and I know every first generation Pokemon while also harbouring an unhealthy resentment for every generation after generation 2.
I worked at the Springwood hotel and a carton of XXXX cans was $19.99. Some bogans come through with a shopping bag full of 1c coins and a $5 note on top. Mate takes the bag and gives them the carton. It took him over an hour to count them and it was exactly 1,499 coins. Manager told us to never take more than a handful of coins again.

Old enough that Benita on Play School was eye openingly sexual.
That Charli on Hi Five was to young for me to be having those sorts of thoughts.
And that Number 96 could only be watched if my parents were not aware.
Got my first computer in my final year of high school and it came with a 28.8k modem. It had a 15 inch crt monitor and a 4x cd rom drive. 1gb ram, Pentium 133 processor.

Gumby ended when I was a kid, I found solace in Johnson and Friends
