Lot of this stuff is 80's vintage. Still good though.

You just buy them on DVD/Blu-Ray and relive the good ol' days.

I'm well into Homicide, Division 4, On the Buses, The Waltons and Prisioner.
I love a lot of the modern true crime docos also.

Remember be the New Inventors, Inventors we had What will they think of Next?

I'm sure it's not 'rose-coloured glasses' either, I understand some of Foxtel's top-rating shows are the older ones we all took for granted back then.

The Boss summed it up best: 57 channels and nothing on...

Had it have been NOS I "may" have dropped the cash.

Oh man, how many of those black yo-yo's did I have and destroy!!!?

I used to cut the Coca-Cola logo out of them and everyone told me that they wouldn't spin because they were out of balance.

Note that they were "made in the philipines" ..... a sad sign of things to come.

My best memories of the so-called "good old days" was Super petrol @ 40c per gallon !! It was even less in the 60s, but I didn't own a car or have a license back then.
