Happens to me two days a week, on average.
It’s been worse since I got an APAP machine. I get better sleep but I now have worse posture.

Flicking coins at the cheer squad when they walked around the boundary with a blanket held by four of their members while the rest recovered the ‘miss thrown’ coins from the oval surface.
Who can remember the umpires running up the race at the start of the game and after half time to get one of the teams out of the rooms? The Bombers were serial offenders!

The all-you-can-eat at Pizza Hut was good value. There were a couple of restaurants that were in the last few to close…in Albury and Traralgon…always used to stop there on the way back from Sydney or Loch Sport. There was another upstairs at the old London Stores building, corner of Bourke and Elizabeth.
I don’t remember its name, but there was a good steak joint on the corner of North Road and Nepean Highway. I think it got closed because one of the selling points was the free peanuts in the shell, and the shells got thrown on the floor and the Health Department arked up. Anyone else remember the days when the majority of people weren’t allergic to milk, gluten and nuts?
And Denny’s with its great brekkies and desserts. There used to be one at Albert Park golf course, and another on the highway in Highett.
Anyone remember the Fairway menswear store pretty much next to the old Star Theatrette dirty movie house near the corner of Flinders Lane and Elizabeth. They were always having a closing down sale…every week…and one week they stopped lying about it.
All those cinemas in the city…the Forum and Rapallo, the Odeon, the Australia Twin which shared a dunny with the Woolshed Bar, a famed gay pickup joint. Many a nervous pee from the cinema-goers.

Yes Mordialloc Aspendale etc all the way to Seaford ? And the stretch of 3 lane road from Mordialloc to Chelsea centre lane was used by north or south travelling cars, you really had to be sure to overtake thru there , I lived on Station Street Edithvale ,so used to travel home from the surf along there.

When your knees let you know it’s going to rain.
When you look in the mirror and catch a glimpse of your old man.
The Sporting Globe or buying the late Herald on a Saturday night for all the race results.
And only if Essendon won buying both the Sunday Press & Sunday Observer.

Every time we go to DiCaprio’s in Tullamarine, my wife reminds me that it was once a Sizzler.
I don’t think I ever ate at one my entire life, although in the US they were more of a coastal thing.
The sizzlers just outside of Geelong on the way to Warrnambool was a must stop for my fam back in the day

There was still a Sizzlers in Perth around the Edgewater area (near Joondalup). Not sure if that’s been closed down or if it’s still going?

The muscle cars you just couldn’t quite afford when young are now classics/survivors and even less affordable.

Empire Day Cracker nights!!! With bonfires and decent crackers like 6 penny bungers. Could do some decent damage with those. And we’d ride around the streets with sky rockets launching from our bike handle bars. Can’t do that these days!!!

There was a Chinese restaurant near Moorabbin station (arcade behind town hall?) which was the only takeaway (except fish n chips) we would ever get in late 60s. Customers would take pots casserole dishes etc, no plastic containers.

Can confirm that there are three Sizzler Outlets still operating in Perth.
I think you might be thinking of the one that was in Beldon…(no longer there)
Home phone was WX 3510 (Box Hill).
Had to be operator connected to ring Boronia from Box Hill STD call.
Yet I can still remember these little things (but can’t remember what I had for breakfast this morning!)
Edited: Well my memory must be on the way out too! I think FX referred to dad’s old car!
