Ha ha, Funk and Wagnalls I remember them. We had the other Britannica knock-off World Book.

Even they cost a shit load but still were far cheaper than Britannica.

Yep have no issue sharing beds with mates after a night out. I rarely, if ever plan on where I'm going to stay after a night out. I always assume someone will let me crash at theirs. But it helps that I can sleep on the floor, or anywhere really, as long as I've got a pillow. I've spent the last 3 nights on the floor :lol:

Are they staying over after a night out or an 18th?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with sharing a mates bed after a night on the piss when you can't be bothered going back to your own place.

Back in my day...

We played sport in the street. Cars would look out for us because a half-taped up tennis ball could actually cause a dent in it.

After school tv involved the fresh prince, kevin arnold (and winnie cooper!), Mr Drummond (who was doing his bit to ease US inner-city race relations) and Mike and Melvin... "letter... letter... letter..." oh and who could forget SuperGran!

Finally if you wanted to know something you had to look it up in the Encyclopedia Britannica or as it was in our povo house the Funk and Wagnall's. Kids have it too easy nowadays...

Thought so. Loved that game

I reckon. Sure, there might be a little less room and I do sometimes wake up with a sore lower back from it, but not sleeping on a floor.

Fuck sleeping on a shit couch or floor when a bro's got a quern or king bed tbh.

Bisexuality just isn't that big a deal anymore.

My 18 year old son ( yes he has girl friend) regularly has mates over for the night and shares he's bed. He does have a spare mattress under hes bed for when there are a few

That just didn't happen in my day, from about 7 or 8 years old that was not on.

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego

Looks so familiar. Not sure if I'm thinking of the right game but what is it called??

Back in my day (that involving growing in England) - we were worried about Catholic terrorists blowing things up. It was a nicer, whiter, more Christian kind of terror... None of this crazy Islamic stuff.

Haven't seen that since Grade 1. Farrkkkkk

Amazing game. So many wasted hours on that thing. The FM of its time.

Where in the world. Quality never dies.

Back in my day I thought this game was cool. Can anyone remember it??

Fairly sure the reasoning behind for a lot of high level sport people, apart from the aerodynamic bullshit for swimming and sprint cycling, is that when you fall and graze your skin there's not going to be hair remaining to disrupt things so the wound heals quicker. At least that's what my hairy Dad said the doctor told him after he went for a long skin shredding slide off his bike.

Not too long ago, but i remember in 2006 my football coach drew on a whiteboard the formation we would be playing for the season, and seemingly for the future. It was 4231 (or 42121 if you prefer). This was in yhe age where you wouldn't be caught dead playing anything but 352, thanks to guus hiddink and co.

We all called him crazy, that it wouldn't work, and definitely wouldn't stick. Nowadays, it's basically the standard :lol:

In a former job, we used to have undercover cops come and get keys needed to access suspect vehicles. There's a reason they fit in so well when undercover, they looked exactly like the crims!


We played 4-3-3, as in 4 fowards, 3 mids, 3 'backs'. Heaven forbid if, as a back, you ever went over the half way line. I remember standing like a statue right on the line, and not a cm more.

Back in my day...playing park football was a game played between Defenders and Strikers....since the Midfielders hardly touched the ball.:lol:

An old bloke the other day asked me what's ACTUALLY WRONG with not liking another race, and I legit couldn't give him an answer that wasn't a made up social construct :lol:

When I was a kid we lined up in a 5-3-2-1 formation.

That's right, 5 at the front.

Left wing, inside left, centre forward, inside right and right wing.

And if you played left or right wing you were told to stay within a 1.0m corridor adjacent the sideline and look out if you wandered outside of that.

:lol: oddly enough, the mrs at the time enjoyed it.

Which may go some way into explaining why over the years she's drifted closer and closer towards becoming a lesbian, judging by her Facebook statuses I've seen :lol:

F*g.

When i was in year 8 or 9 or so a few of my football teammates shaved their legs and said the pros did it and it was meant to be better for football somehow. So i did it too. And noticed sfa difference, so grew it back :lol:

Me mum tells me that back in her day, there was no such thing as depression and the like. They just threw you in the loony bin. Climate change didn't exist either.

Take me back to the old days.

Well I'm hoping he turns up. He's more than welcome.

Just rename it batfink's whinge thread.

Speaking of Police I saw a bunch of coppers from WA at the Brisbane airport the other week coming in for the G20. Tattoos on the neck, on a sheila no less.

I realise it's all this inclusive, luvvy dovey, don't discriminate stuff but the neck?

What ever happened to standards?
