I Remember when I was a Boy

[OldMav]

Well I just read 22 pages of bliss so much that prompted memories, you do remember the most oddest thing. Lol one of the oddest things I remember is the smells, like the smell of the kero fridge pilot light burning when you walk into the kitchen late at night or the smell of soap being boiled in the copper, washing cloths, or the smell of starched collars on your shirts. Really this sh#t does make me feel old. Anyway to continue one of my earliest memories is visiting the dentist in a converted wooden railway carriage in the middle of our Queensland summer the drill was driven by rubber bands and some sort of electric motor which did about 5 revs a minute and very much slower by the end of the day. And the smell of ether was rank, mmm I think some of the things of the good old days might be best not remembered. Some might remember push bikes for kids were damn expensive so many of us rode 28" bikes as kids, with left leg through the bars, and there was no way a young boy would be seen dead riding a low bar bike or girls bike haha funny thing those things were damn heavy I remember I could not lift one yet my slug gun was always strapped to the top bar and we would ride those things for hours without flinching. Oh I remember the 70's mostly I had hair 3/4 down my back lol so cool back then but was very glad when Gough won and abolished nasho my birthday had come up but deferred for UNI there was no way I was going to fail any exams lol..
