[Magpiespower]

Well I'll be buggered - Im trying to remember what the hell the flavour was on top but I don't recall it being real nice either.

Maybe they've changed it.

Awesome, you want your 40th to double up as a slab party?

[Footy Chick]

No because my slab will be down well before August

I'm allowing for inclement weather here

But oh soo good at the same time. Haven't seen them in the shops as yet but going to take a flavour trip back in time as soon as I do.

[Footy Chick]

Pioneer Village on South Road. I drove past for the first time in yonks on Saturday and noted that there are now houses where the village formerly was?

Southerners may be able to shed some light on where these buildings went. Im assuming it all got carted off to what is now known as Old Tailem Town...

*bump*

So as I get as close to being 40 as Im going to get before actually reaching 40, I thought I'd share this link:

Now don't get excited, I'm not in the photo - but note two of the jumpers. I had a magpies one

[GWW]

As did I

I also had a Russell Ebert jigsaw puzzle around the same time

.....you remember hearing of someone "having a turn".

"Oh yes, I heard about Betty down the street. Heard she had a turn"

At this buck show I went to there was a chick there and we ALL had a turn.

.....you remember hearing of someone "having a turn".

"Oh yes, I heard about Betty down the street. Heard she had a turn"

My grandparents still say that.

They also say "doing their block" when someone cracks the shits.

My grandmother used to refer to the movies at the cinema as "the pictures".

[Dissident]

Yup. The pictures or the flicks. But usually the pictures.

[Psyber]

My grandmother used to refer to the movies at the cinema as "the pictures".

The term "Cinema" is derived from a Greek word that approximates "moving pictures", and was in use before and during the 1920s.
So, it is no more modern or appropriate than "pictures" or "flicks".

It just came to us later via the US where we also got "elevator" instead of the English "lift".
The yanks are pretentious and never use a short word where a long one will do...
