I'm pretty sure it would have been 1992 - not 1962 as we were living in Perth at the time and I remember making sure we would be outside to watch John Glenn pass overhead in the sky. We did see it and so did the kids as it was visible and you could see it moving. It was a special moment for us...

I used to make these toffees to sell at fetes and primary school fundraisers. They were just like the ones in the photo. From memory there were not many ingredients required, sugar, vinegar, water (can't remember the quantity) , and boil up in a pot on the stove until it was ready to pour into...

I've been making my own spring rolls for donkeys years. They are so much tastier than the bought ones which I find are all pastry and a bit of carrot and cabbage, pretty boring and dissappointing. Whenever I do make them they are gobbled up quickly, and the honemade dipping sauce tops them off...

The Bengal cats definately exist, two of my relatives have them, one in NZ and the other in Sydney. The one in NZ is very destructive, it scratched all the wallpaper and furniture, beautiful looking cat but not for small children as a pet. The cat in Sydney is over the top, it races from top to...

Thunderbirds are GO!

I'm glad you found an episode to watch, you should be able to watch other episodes, they get some really hard rescues and its touch and go for some of them. It used to amuse me when they would show close ups of real hands turning dials or whatever. Poor John must have been so lonely stuck out in...

It's on UTube, you'll be amazed!

I would never pay that for a ham and cheese toastie! $32? I would keep walking and buy the ingredients myself for a fraction of the toastie

Thunderbirds is the best, check it out Magpie1.

I love this show and have seen most episodes and the making of the show about Gerry Anderson. I think this show is great for kids and better than watching some of the kids programs on today. They put so much effort into making each episode with all the special effects and a storyline for each...

I went to that place a long time ago, and never went back due to their greedy pricing.

NO, surely not for rent, should be outlawed

Could be anything?

We had a big pink bath with matching toilet and handbasin - groovy! 60/70's era maybe.
