Crystal Palace! Can remember Mum and Dad taking me to see "The Living Desert" on Xmas Eve as a little nipper and me worrying that we would miss Santa if I wasn't home.
Usherettes, those were the days.
They don't employ anyone over the age of 18 it seems at the movies these days.

You must be one of the coolest ever 70+ year olds 
I say that mainly because I figured you were in your 20s-30s from reading some other posts in other threads, plus your knowledge of computers/the web impresses me. My dad is in his mid 70s and manages to crash my computer every time I let him anywhere near it.
I also admire your tennis stories. It's good to share these stories. The most talented sportsperson I ever played on was David Hille (current essendon player) in an inter-school footy match. He'll never reach Sedgeman, Hoad or Rosewell status though
I'll have to look out for your posts in the 'blast from the past' section from now on. I haven't really looked at it much (yet) but it's a good way to learn about the tigers before my time.

G'day Otis, and glad you had a bit of fun with the post. Talking of playing tennis...quite a lot of footballers used to play tennis in the summer. Whilst at East Burwood tennis club, I played in the EMRLTA competition.Had some fierce battles with Robert Flower, who I think was at Vermont, Kevin Rose...can't remember his club, and as a teenager against Bob Johnson, star Melbourne player. He was a real gent BTW., very tall and a great tennis player. Robert Flower was a "lefty" with a wicked serve to the backhand court.
As to being a cool dude, Otis, don't know about that, but sport, my kids, grandkids and friends with their love and friendship, keep me on my toes. Had a computer for zonks, right back to the days of the now defunct Commodore Amiga. Had a lot of fun with that old machine playing games like Leisure Suit Larry and Kings Quest, etc., etc.
Guess that's enough for now.
Cool dude signing off!
