Name one thing from your childhood

[Adephi]

And what about The Doors ?
@Room Fogger , @johan and @Bulldog
Did you remember that place?

I remember it like yesterday. Missed the one in Marshall street but the one in Edenvale was like my second home. Was there 4 nights a week at times. Until 2/3 am. Back at work at 09:00. Cannot dare to do that nowadays. Don't think I will survive the first Happy Hour.

They apparently moved recently to Randburg or Weltevreden Park. A couple of under 25 colleagues went there one night. The next day none of them could move their heads complaining of the banging. Poor little summer blossoms.

We had a family IBM XT as a family computer when I was 10.
Used it all the way to matric and a bit of varsity even when everyone else was using Pentiums and running XP I was happily typing away in DOS 6.1

Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill in the school hall. I always had to help with the projector, and you had to wind the movies back before they were returned or they would give you a crappy copy the next time.
