He probably had a ghost writer. I saw him play a few times as a kid and had his 'footy card'. Can still taste that gum and see this kid shuffling through a huge stack of cards when trading! Smile

That's nasty. They were about 5c for 3 cards + gum in the 70s. I think they are about $3 these days.... and no Zac Oleanik!

Remember when you gobbled down that gum you'd get that sort of painful air bubble sensation in your cheeks and eardrums?

I just saw some kids in a park near here. There's hardly any interesting things set up. Only a sandpit and a few log type things?? A tiny A-frame thing. Did you have those wooden turntables which used to spin around? They were great. Considered too dangerous these days.

There's this plastic single circular seat (like a flat toadstool) in the park near here. Doesn't spin (I don't think) it looks fixed!

I was thinking exactly the same thing. I hope they're not banned for being too stickley. Good old plasticine is another one. I'm sure they have stuff you can eat nowadays... or prevent tummy aches in case of accidentally having a nibble. Smile

I remember everyone (back in '71) wanted the stickle bricks first and if you did something bad (i.e. me... on one ocassion) you lost your rights to them for an hour or so.

yeah... good idea. Whistle Only 6 buckets left it says but more on the way.

Those cuisenaire rods... I found them at Mum's place a few years ago. Now they are on my shelf. Remember them? Good for learning how to count - colour co-ordinated balsa blocks. Also, you can start with the 10s at the base and build an Eiffel Tower type structure. Smile

1. white
2. Red
3. mid Green
4. Pink
5. Yellow
6. dark Green
7. Black
8. light Brown
9. Indigo
10. Gold-Brown

Different colours shown here.

https://www.google.com.au/search?q=cuisenaire+rods&client=firefox&hs=KCi&rls=com.yahoo:en-US:official&channel=rcs&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=7GN6Ude-HKyhiAfxqYDoCQ&ved=0CDwQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=665

Mine are from 1968 in a plastic box with white base/grey lid.

There is one (white) cube missing. I think I can make a new one (match as close as possible).
