I had a Dragon32. It was ace and skill ( ace = "A Crappy Effort" and skil = a disease cows get on their arses, for those that don't know. Both perfectly accurate descriptions of aforementioned "computer" ) Anyone else remember when it used to snow, and you'd get a day off school because the heating packed in ? |

Hey, they still have pull off ring-pulls in the middle east! I go to Bahrain every year with work and they are ace and still use em'! Presumably because the punishment for littering is having your hand chopped off.

We wanna go somewhere else. We're not threatened by people anymore. All our insecurities have evaporated. We're in the clouds now. We're wide open. We're spacemen orbiting the earth. The world looks beautiful from here, man.

I was just thinking back to the times where kids would break bones and injure themselves but that was all part of the fun. I used to love the summer where you could play out forever because it wasn't dark til after ten  |

Now it seems that kids want it to be dark so they can hang around outside shops and get ASBOs. If only I could turn back the sands of time :|

I had one of those computers that when you loaded the game tapes they screeched like a right cunt, you had to wake everybody up just to play a game. :-))(

written by grayx Ah nostalgia - it's not what it used to be ! Damn right my nostalgia is for the 50's .....it was great we had rationing, an empire still, heavy industry and every thing was in black and white. Christmas was ace we got an orange and had chicken.....a once a year luxury preceded by a tin of tomato soup......possessions weren't really something you cared about too much. Welsh coal was delivered by horse and cart in massive lumps which needed smashing up with a large hammer, after being deposited in the coal house, a job for the lad (me) to climb in and do.......central heating hadn't existed in most of English houses since the Roman times. In the coal house hung the gas masks, which the old man kept, just in case......next door we used to play in their bomb shelter. Kids at school had ring worm and other conditions caused by poor nutrition.....the mistress would deliver a whack of the cane for messy handwriting. STFC were probably at their historical worst...save a decent season in 58, when Divs north and south became 3 and 4, and you needed a top half finish to get in thre which was achieved.

I had a Spectrum, finally got it out of my loft recently, gave it to a local charity for a boot sale, I want to know if anyone brought it. I set it all up beforehand to see if it still worked, and tried Football Manager. I remember that game, could get promoted dead easily on that. Didn't have coal, but I remember the egg man coming round, and the local corner shop delivering the food. I love nostalgia. |

"Yeeeeesss!!!! because it's been sunny we're allowed on the grass" during the summer at primary school, or was that just St Edmunds, Calne, that did that? Nah we had that at my primary school, there was a big field behind the school and if the weather was nice we were allowed on it. It had a full length footy field with proper goalposts so it was skill "hey, dave says we're allowed on the big field today!!!" |

Posh gits. |
