Posted: 9/28/2006 2:45:00 AM | That was something else dreaming. Just bought a heap of memories flooding back. How I used to fight with my sisters. (sighs) Those were the days. When you could just walk up and slap them when they were mean to you 
Oh welcome back GG. I'm feeling normal tonight by the way....for now ;) | |

Posted: 9/28/2006 2:45:44 AM | Unfortunately, no GG. I was too poor to travel then. Macca's is somewhat a safety net for me now, for when I get really really desperate in a foreign place to find some semblance of familiarity. Or when I run out of money somewhere....always a cheap feed before I consider selling my body. I also use it for the clean toilets when hotels were not available. The coffees are much better now too.
I also use Macca's as a rough currency converter or some economics such as purchasing power parity (burgernomics, lol). | |

Posted: 9/28/2006 3:05:31 AM | Pedro... good point about Macca's ... in all my travels I used MacDonalds as a current converter and see what the local speciality is made of, not to mention the Toilet Breaks... I think the worst MacDonalds I came across ever was at the Spanish Steps in Rome just off the paizza... the toilets were disguisting, but then I guess the large volume of people going through they would need to employ as many staff serving to clean.
Anyway I getting off the topic here, Lets see what else we can remember...
When I was a young girl which was not so long ago .. lol.... I remember when the ships came into Port (before the days of air travel). Ohh the memories of ships leaving Station Pier (Melbourne) with my relatives going back to europe and the streamers .... A child's delight.... Anyone can go on board the ship and stay for a drink before depature and the amount of steamers, the colours were so vivid...... Now you aren't allowed past the huge gates.. we can only view the big ships from a distance now... | |

Posted: 9/28/2006 5:13:46 AM | Ahhh . . . Mark, you reminded me . .
Throwing penny bungers (bangers?) into the creek and watching the explosion and the smoke filled bubbles rise . . yay.
The timing of this was critical as the wick had to be burning inside the cracker before it entered the water. We got pretty good at it if I remember. | |

Do you remember having to pluck your own chickens before that sold them packaged? | |
|

Posted: 9/28/2006 6:01:30 AM | Never plucked a chicken but my father used to.
Do you remember when chickens were always packed with the feet and giblets to make stock. | |
|

Posted: 9/28/2006 6:03:37 AM | | We used have chickens in the backyard.. I'd watch my dad chop their heads off. There's no way I would eat a chicken now after watching that.... | |
