Social Science Things we remember but do not exist now...

[pekay-norwest]

Yeah, I have a few of my most favourite games (as well as my first ever match- MCG 93 v Essendon), from "name a game" in Richmond. They weren't cheap either back then like $40 a match I think!


The first movie I think I ever saw on video was The Big Steal. It wasnt even our video player tho, it was my grandma's and she was overseas at the time, so we took it while she was gone. How hopeless is that??

Loved that movie. Claudia Karvan...........praise be

Brynee & Geoffrey's marriage
Now the old coot is broke she's shown him the door.Now who didn't see that coming ?

I always laugh when Brynne comes out with the tackiest ensembles imaginable at social events and all the other women patronise her and act all polite and shit. In their heads they're calculating that everyone knows how bad Brynne dresses and everyone will look upon them as they are graceful and not a bitch.

Brynne has got her leg up and her little nest egg. Good pay for a few years work.

Rite-Way and Permewan's supermarkets.

Brash's and Billy Guyatt's?

 

[MarcusP2]

Brashs is going back a long while now, 15 years or so.

Too right, I used to buy all my vinyl there.

Just jokes, the last thing I can remember buying at Brash's was Paul Kelly's 'Songs from the South':

Music shops in general. It's all iTunes now. I have an iPod, and use it a hell of a lot, but there's nothing romantic about it. Bring back the mixtape.

Music streaming is great. If you are on Telstra I'd thoroughly recommend you check out MOG, $13 a month and it gives you access to fifteen odd million songs, unmetered so you can play them through your phone without chewing through your download allowance. I'm back to buying vinyl only now.

Last album I remember buying at brashes was Pearl Jam's 'No Code'

Thanks for the tip, Gough. I buy a combination of songs downloaded from iTunes/banditfm - just for my iPod for walking, exercise, etc; CD's that I listen to in the car, and a bit of vinyl when I can find forgotten gems at Op-shop's, garage sales.

Vinyl has so more depth of sound the digital medium. I got my parents record collection in their divorce so I've got a whole lot of old great old stuff from the 60s, including my old man's Dylan albums with sleeve notes in Portugese because Smithy didn't like ol Minnesota mud throat and banned him Rhodesia, so they all had to be bought in from Mozambique. Same with some of the Dave Brubeck records.

I wish this happened to me... Dad kept it and then sold heaps of them. I was shattered. So many Elvis records gone

To be fair I have more Cleo Laine albums than any man should own, it wasn't all Dylan and Dave Brubeck.

Hahaha I agree. Altho I must admit, my car still has a cassette deck, so I still have mix tapes actually


I also miss the days where you took photos on a camera, and couldnt see what you had just taken. It was exciting getting photos processed and picking them up. Like you said, no more romance, that is all dead due to digital cameras.

And FWIW, my old camera took better photos than the digital camera I have now.

 

[RoOGrrrl]

And half of the photos you had taken would be dud's, due to red-eye, or blurriness, or too dark. But that was all part of the fun.

 

[Shell]

Nah I never had that problem, maybe one or two photos would be crap, but the rest would be fine. Had a good camera.

Maybe I was just a terrible photographer.

 

[Shell]

My digital camera also cannot take shots at night. I have used every ****ing setting under the sun that is on it, but still fails. I ****ing hate it, i pretty much just use the camera on my phone now and my actual camera pretty much gathers dust in a drawer.

Those little Kodak instamatics when they first came out were terrible, used to cut off everyone's heads!

Is NQR still around?

North Geelong and Ballarat ones are still around, in fact I think the Ballarat one might be new

Well there you go. As soon as i read the Bi-Lo post those annoying NQR ads came into my my mind. Had no idea there was a couple around still.

I think the one in Newcomb is still there as well.
