Haha, I've had Telstra shares for about 12 years now, hard to recall exactly when. They have paid ok dividends for long time, several shares passed from grandparents over the years, that was one of them.

Long term shares in com bank, Woolworths, apple, Johnson and Johnson, proctor and gamble, Coca Cola, the rest are in some higher dividend paying stocks but transfer them round based on annual reports if company looks like it can't support the higher payment rates
