Had to read this, of course, after you mentioned it on my page ;-) And it brought back another memory I had forgotten: the voice of that Dutch TV personality! - and, in general, how people spoke in those years. It was all much more formal back then; the way people spoke, dressed, addressed others. Things sure do change at quite a fast pace. But boys... will always be boys ;-)
Kia ora Luigi, long time I’m behind in your stories! Loved this, especially enjoyed the accompanying pics. This reminds me of the boys I met along the banks of the Wairoa who loved to make “Molotov” bombs - they also thought they were not stupid!! I think it’s only as adults we look back and feel and see the risks so much plainer. Cool stories, wrapped up in / around hard and painful history.

Hard to not do, what you you want to, and to hell with the consequences. It's a man thing..
