my family had a beige, flesh colored station wagon.

I remember when my Mum (gone three years in a couple on weeks) did Sunday Roasts plus amazing self-saucing chocolate pudding she made - and her always getting pissed off with me because I was the only girl and she wanted me to learn how to make her special gravy and I would always stuff it up and she'd have to make an intervention!! lol This was the only civilised time in our household - the rest of the time it was punching and shouting and emotional abuse.

I remeber when Elvis died (I was 11) and I remember when John Lennon died (I was 14) - both still bring me to tears. I know I need to get over both but so many years on I still can't believe either happened.

I remember an extrordinary, truly extrordinary day (I've got goosebumps all over) in 1983 when Australia won the America's Cup yacht race from the US - my whole household was watching the TV- it was veery early in the morning here and we were all crying - men, woman and child. I'm really crying now because it was David and Goliath - a truly historic day for Australia and one of those few moments in our lives when we were As One as a family Thanks for making me cry!! lol

I remember when Australia got it's first female Prime Minister. Nowadays we either have a well hung Parliament or Tony Abbott is bragging again.

You're so naughty Troppo. It might have been said here or somewhere else but if the PM gets voted in her first bit lof legislation should be to get Abbot to wear a wetsuit. Ug! lol

Our station wagon was so bad the 'wood paneling' was actually some kind of adhesive look alike.

I was six years old when went to the hill behind the house and yelled out to the world, "I got a new pair of bell bottoms."

LMAO, some other kid yelled back from some unseen backyard

"so what"
