Reel to reel tape machines. Deputy Dawg. Aztec chocolate bars. Videoplus+ A moonbase. The hole in the ozone layer. M.A.D. Alyerpal
Well, until my rambling diatribe on your facebook the other night:-1. The time my Mum superglued herself to the curtain rail, before super glue solvent had been made available2. The time my gerbil used to share my baths with me3. Space Hoppers4. Chocolate cigarettes (what a great idea for kids they were!)5. My dad dropping his false teeth down the back of my pyjamas....for fun....
I'm with you on Aztec chocolate bars!
Inspiration! Cool! Ta Al ;-)
@Tubs, yer pa sounds ace, lol
Deputy Dawg - though the real star was Musky, obviously.Even now, if I see somebody who looks like Musky, I just love 'em, straight off.John Prine for one.And Pete Lawson, though I kind of fell out of love with him when he ran off with my wife - or she ran off with him, I can't remember now- it was 1979, after all.You know, I really liked the squinty-eyed fellah, as well.Now look what you've stirred up...

@ Kingpin. My Dad had an e93a, first car I ever drove. It had vacuum wipers that sped up as you went faster, a three speed crash box, mechanical brakes, transverse leaf springs on live axles (handled like a dinghy in a gale) no heater, a convection cooling system, which worked fine in winter and, naturally, no seat belts. One special feature was the jacking points which consisted of a hole in the floor behind the front seats which I could piss through on long trips so we didn’t have to stop. He said "I'll show you how to drive it when you can reach the pedals", I was tall for a six year old and said "I can reach 'em now!". As good as his word he taught me to drive it, I was rubbish at first, couldn't reverse or change gears but I've got the hang of it now! Driving's not as much fun as it was then though, back then 60mph was a buzz, you have to go on a track-day to get the same kick these days. MN
Those indicators that popped up out of the side of our Riley between the front and back doors! All day road trips to North Wales (do it in an hour now!) Cheers! Those mini plastic kits you used to get free with cereal. Milk with cream on the top when you brought it in. AYP
We'll never see adverts like these again: A Double Diamond works wonders Change to Senior Service tipped and the dim blonde who used to say: "Show me a man with St Bruno in his pipe and I'll show him...my undivided attention"...or did I just dream her up?
Flake adverts.....;-P 'The Earls Court of the North'! Cooeee Mr Shifter. AYP
