Why don't you go out and by yourself some gifts that will make you feel as old as you are like some knitting needles, rocking chair, slippers, full body thermal underwear, lap dog and a Jerry Lewis box set.

That you know when sausage rolls cost 10 cents and with sauce were 11 cents !!
20 cents worth of hot chips got you more than three times the amount you get today.
I can remember the movie that channel 10 were playing when they switched to colour .

Both right 7 and 2 both had VFL replays
KG's footy show at 5.30 on 9(i think the time was) .If Torrens were playing at Thebie and Won I would run home to watch the show .Mind you they lost more than they won so it was a slow walk home normally.
