remember when

[Eclair]

He he...this convo sent me to Countdown clips on youtube.

I remember when this guy was hawt in the 70's....now all I can see is a freaky male version of Julia Roberts.

ESP moment. Pretty Woman is on tonight.

I remember when I first saw it, in a hotel room in Melbourne back in 1991.

How the fuck can that be 20 years ago? 

[Charlotte Quin]

I'm still young so the 90's are like eons ago for me.

I remember when 600ml bottles of coke were just 500ml bottles with 20% bonus extra. AND they were only $1.50.

I remember when we couldn't get Ten and NBN on TV because we didn't have UHF aerial on our roof.

If you got 25 channels in your cable package that was a lot

Cable?  Hell, I remember black and white.  And the little deer lamps that people would put on the TVs so you wouldn't get eye strain in the dark.

YES! The TV lamp, my mother kept it in back of the big monstrous black-and-white TV, which of course was kept on a TV cart
with WHEELS on it, and it had the rabbit-ear antennae, and my father put pieces of tinfoil on the ends of the rabbit ears to
improve the reception. We turned this TV on an off manually, and changed channels manually. We got about 8 channels.

When a television was a piece of furniture

I remember when Space Invader arcades came out. They were really groovy

Ah, yes, I remember those. We had one.

Thank you.

Only now I get why the windmill lamp would be on. No deer here, a wooden windmill with warm yellow light.

It could make music too btw, but that of course would not happen during watching TV

The video and TV games were to blame for violence, and the karate movies and the cartoons.

Well, they ARE to blame, you know. That's why I limit my entertainment choices to wholesome places like this.

Also 20 years ago: Thelma and Louise  and Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

There were pay phones everywhere and even phone boths

One of the agencies I often audited was the Orleans Parish Levee Board, which was located at the Lakefront Airport.  Up until Hurricane Katring the airport had an old wooden phone booth that I would specifically go into to call home because it was so much fun to do. Sadly the airport was outside the levee system and fared very badly.
