I don't have $100 but...

I remember when I went to new zealand for a holiday and it was like the first memory of a plane i've had since i haven't travelled too much and the plane lifted off and I could see the coastline and it was so beautiful yet scary at the same time and i remember my little brother whilst we were still on the runway saying "we've lifted off!"

toobs...mmmm
And jaffa cakes.......more mmmm

alot of my childhood memories relate to what a "performer" i was as a little girl - i did ballet, jazz ballet, tap dancing, calisthenics, johnny young (no not young talent time, but he used to have a performing school in town where you took singing, dancing and drama lessons) plus i was in the adelaide girls choir for 2 years and played the flute!

Now i do fuckin nothin!

I also remember how much I used to love our school discos and they always make me smile when I think back to them

Alot of my childhood day's were spent on my BMX, down at the 'Pine's bmx track' jumping shit and also making some jumps bigger, and doing heaps of stupid shit...

Like when they where building the Pine's Hockey Stadium, we use to go in there and throw stuff around. Check out what they where building. Steal the blue print's that the builder's would leave there, roll around on those big Cable holders, piss in the toilet's when they weren't even hooked up, shit like that.

Also when they had almost finished it there used to be Security guards which where so fat, they had to chase us kid's off at night time riding scooter's.

I was a shit of a kid... and LOVED it..

Also do any of you guy's and girl's remember Monash playground....

Fuck that was sick, pitty it got ripped down year's ago...

My most memorable childhood moments were also spent building BMX jumps. Everyday without fail, after school there would be 5 or so of us down by this creek, all with shovels and picks digging right until it got dark. We definately spent more time building the jumps than actually riding them - but it was all good fun anyway. I remember the council knocked them down a few times, but we just rebuilt them anyway.

I only ever see 2 of those guys now, all of the others have moved interstate.

I remember when I was little, I......

Watered the carpet......
Ate cat food.....
Electrocuted myself.....
Electrocuted myself again.....
Ate fly spray......
Got crushed by a cupboard.....
Got locked in a cupboard.....
Was dropped on my head as a baby (onto a slate floor)
Put pens up the dogs nose.....
Ran from cousin who tried to stab me with a butchers knife....
Used table as a slide (smashed it)....
Put mashed potatoes into dads pockets (funny when he got to work and put his hands in his pocket)....
Learnt what the term 'HOT' meant.


I had an active childhood.

I had an interesting childhood

Nemesis did u go to the pines school ??

my childhood memories mainly consist of my younger brother and i getting in punch ups constantly haha

i used to beat his ass down!!

i had one of those toy helicopters where the propeller thingy on top spins around electrially. well there was a bit that spun underneath the helicopter and i was going "brroooommm" over sum1s head with it and the spinny thing at the bottom caught his hair and sucked it up and it was tangled and his wife had to cut the heliopter of his head..

Lol it was like that episode of the simpsons where the old man got his beard stuck in the pencil sharpener and the more grampa turned it the more his beard went in

Fuck that was soo funny!

Riding bread crates down the Sugarloaf at the Hallett Cove Conservation park. Wondering why tourists would come watch us do it and some would cry watching us do it why some yelled at us for doing it.

Realising when we were older that it's a 200M year old Geologic attraction caused by glaciers when the area was covered in ice when Australia was part of Gondwana.

omfg lol cant believe u did that
wheres trashy_chica

LMFAO!

So THAT'S why it's got those ridgey scrapings down the side

But you know... when you think about it, it's all part of the erosion process, and one day in maybe 1000 years future humans that by then would live in hoverhouses will go, see these markings, it's from ancient Hallett Covians that romed the bush in search for mountains of sediment to engrave their presence with bread crates in honour of the gods

In a similar story, me and my mates use to ride skateboard decks down the banks of the Hallett Cove South primary school, was great fun, we even used the storm drain thing as a lil ramp to go off. A few injuries were suffered but nothing serious. We also done this on the dunes over at Yorke's, places like Dust Bowl and Williama, this was the beginning of what turned into sandboarding and when we got older made custom decks out of PVC, my cousin made pretty sick ones out of wood with a laminate bottom, though it wasn't as flexible and was heavy, so wasn't good for freestyle, only slalom Mine rocks though

Me too.. After getting a shock you would think you would learn but no..240 volts strait into ya finger again. Then got the next door neighbour to do it ( <-not by choice).

After watering the carpet did you try vacuming it up? It just comes out the back and you end up chasing it around till mums vacume shits it self.

I electrocuted myself when i was 17!

I decided that i'd be able to fix my stereo when it broke, so i took off the back and started to play around with things.... little did i realise that it was STILL PLUGGED IN! :ouch:

my mum wanted to take me to hospital...

when i was around 10ish or a tad older.. i dressed up as a door knocking lady.. i put on clothes from the dress-up chest like some old dress and woollen coat and old nanna hat and had it half covering my face and put make up on. got a clipboard and stuck a red cross sticker on the back so it looked a bit more convincing.. knocked on the door n my sister answered (shes about 3 years older than me) and i put on some poxy scottish accent and said "Hellooo is your mummy or daddy home" and she goes "my mum is a bit busy she's - ..... TEGAN!!!!!!" and she ran after me ahahaha i could not stop laughing it was the prank o the day!!!!!!!!

It took me SO long to get my pen license.

It's funny now, I can't handwrite unless it's all in capitals. My running writing looks a bit like arabic.

I had a huge flashback the other day to the paddle pop stick comptetitions that used to be around in the late 80's and early 90's.

1. Eat the paddle pop
2. Look at the part of the picture on your stick
3. Join it up with other parts of pictures to win bikes, stereos etc etc

Great memories.

stealing a tram and goin from goodwood to the bay express is one that springs to mind.

Anyone remember playing 'doctors' as a young kid?

i remember we used to have neighbourhood water fights with a massive group of kids (about 20). and once my brother and a friend and I filled a supersoaker with our piss, filled the rest with water and went and got all the cunts on the next street waiting for us

when i was real tiny went to melbourne with mum n i tried the kiss one of the birds at the zoo it bit me on the lip i cried n wouldn't shut up til mum put a bandaid on my face n walked around with it on all day.. the pictures still scar me to this day stupid mum and her camera

I remember the first time we ever got a computer in class. It was a keyboard and the monitor was actually a TV. We learned to play an educational Ned Kelly game on it! Then we had a test to name the parts of a computer, like the keyboard, mouse, monitor etc.
I was completely and utterly fascinated by the computer... I know nothing about them but I was fascinated by them. When the internet came out for the first time I would go to my friend's house all the time to try and play it.

i just remembered something..

when i was about 3 or 4 i shared a room with my little brother and we had bunk beds (i had the top of course). One night i gave in and took the bottom bunk.. when i was asleep i had a bad dream and must've been thrashing around a fair bit cos i woke up to my foot being jammed between the bunk and the wall. Now for some reason i thought it was a muppet under the bed and it had tried to take my foot and it scared the absolute shit out of me.. Long story short i was to scared to sleep on the bottom until i was about 6-7 and yes, i was afraid of muppets for a good couple of years.

I was too afraid to tell my brother or parents so i hid my shame and suffered in silence until i got over it haha

Bahahahahahaha oh my god

Muppet....haha!!

I used to think Harry from Harry and the Hendersons was under my bed!!

It used to scare the shit out of me

As kids, we used to laugh at Grandpa when he'd head off and go fishing. But we wouldn't be laughing that evening when he'd come back with some whore he picked up in town.

The best story I have from my childhood was from our holidays at our holiday house at Wisemans Ferry in NSW...

We had our own jetty that we could swim off into the Hawkesbury River. One day we were all diving in and my step dad dove into the water, upon his return he had a large fish in his mouth. It was flapping about totally alive. As kids we were totally amazed at this marvel and were gob smacked as to how he managed to do this...

I had believed this to be real for all of my childhood and most of my adult life as did my sisters who also had witnessed this.

It was not until I was 22 and I was telling my boyfriend about this amazing story when my dad started cacking himself. With tears rolling down his face he then revealed to us that he could not believe we had believed it.

Early in the morning the prawn trawlers are out and all of the fish that get caught in the nets are thrown back in. As one went by the jetty he asked if he could have one and the trawler obliged. He then tied it to the jetty in a plastic bag under the waterline. When he dived in he simply went down to the bag got the fish out put it in his mouth and swam to the surface.

I love this story and I will be doing it to my shildren too for at the time we were totally amazed.
