    I Remember when I was a Boy

    Scariest childhood memory by far was waking shortly before sunrise as kids with my little brother in our thin tarp like tent cover.
    Tens if not a hundred Giants in our slumber were stumbling around our camp and trying to eat us firstly by licking and taste testing our outer dewy dodgey wet shelter.
    Back then in Wonnangatta Valleys we could piss bolt back to Dad’s main campsite through only ankle deep Cattle grass at best too.

    During a rare lazy evening and an ale or two, I was lamenting the lack of any decent shows on TV these days and thought about what was around when I was young.
    Do you remember the old westerns when TV was first introduced into Oz? Like:
    Rawhide
    Laramie
    Stage Coach
    Rifleman
    Sugarfoot
    Kit Carson
    Gunsmoke
    Have gun will travel
    Bronco
    Bonanza
    The list goes on - there were dozens of them.
    Then followed a phase of doctor shows:
    Dr Kildare
    Dr Ben Casey
    Marcus Welby
    and more.
    I would like to bring back some the old westerns because the worst of them was better than the best of the crap 'reality', talent, cooking, blah blah blah than passes for entertainment these days.
    I read or do something a little creative rather than watch TV these days - a lot to do with being hard of hearing as well as the sh!t that's on.

    Cool hand Luke is a movie, not a TV series. But a damn good one!

    I remember as a kid, up at dawn, hop on the bike with the sluggy(later .22) and take off for the day with some sandwiches and a canteen of water, meet up with the mates and just go all day, where I grew up in Newcastle, I could ride from one end of the Hunter Valley to the other barely seeing a house. techzpod download mobdro

    I remember major brand jams were Aussie made, Aussie owned and had bits of fruit in them. Not like the insipid 'jelly' that is the norm, now.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.
