Righto kids, do you remember Rumbelows and Radio Rentals, I'm sure more shops like them existed, but when people used to rent their telly or electrical equipment weekly.
Matchbox cars and pick'n'mix - result! Movies on a Saturdat night were dubbed and censored. Chanel 4 use have the red triangle on screen for viewer discretion. I remember Channel 4 being launched! C4 use to push the boundaries back then.
To give a slightly Irish flair to this (and I do hope Tristan remembers) but there used to be a Christmas 'Sonas' (pronounced sunass) annuals for kids and the sheer fever pitch excitement for the arrival of the Christmas Edition of the RTE Guide was unbelievable (My God we were innocent back then...) Then you had the big metal boxes of the Christmas Biscuits - USA Assorted being one of them.. These being the boys in question
Remember them well, when I was a lad (a long time ago) my Dad worked for Lesney who where the manufacturer for Matchbox so had loads of those
Obviously the Intricate workings of certain items are way beyond the comprehension of some people. Grrrrrrr
Agreed but at least there's another roll there as opposed just leaving the empty one for the next poor sod
"if in this Loo, there is no paper, Then in the corner, lies a scraper. If the scraper can't be found, Wipe your ass along the ground!" Spotted on a toilet door in my distant youth. Why can I remember that, with ease, yet have forgotten half what I did yesterday?
True, Remember a guy in a pub coming up to us and say "What do you do when there's no toilet paper?" Obviously we thought it was a joke so said dunno, "Use yer socks" came his reply. We looked confused thinking an odd joke, then cast our eyes down and saw him barefoot in shoes.
I go fly fishing in Kimberley BC and there's one guide I know and his nickname is "One Sock John" - reason being he always forgets toilet paper on the boat and then has to take a dump and yes one sock gets used in the clean-up.
I'm going to introduce another subject/topic that really gets on my t!ts - is it my imagination or is every shirt/pants/jumper/jacket now coming in slim/modern fit only and it's next to impossible to find clothes that actually fit? I will concede due to my age, that I'm not as slim as I was in my twenties but neither have I swelled to the size of this guy either..... I'm either shoehorned into something or the bast@@d thing is falling off me.
Have you not seen super skinny or skinny? Slim seems to be the new regular fit. Buying jeans is like ordering coffee now.
What a fcukin week. I'm too young to be this tired at the end of it. And I work too fcukin hard to be this poorly off. I'm so far behind, I'm going to write the last 3 days off, and consider myself ahead of expected, for Monday!
I'll have to disagree there, I've tried all the iterations of skinny/slim/super slim/super unleaded etc. and nothing seems to fit properly and don't get me started on those feckin jeans that don't fit over your waist but below - it's no longer builders crack but your entire buttocks on display - I've consigned a number of those to the bin, bought by wife with the best of intentions but utterly unsuitable and completely uncomfortable (for me and the general public..)
So you're not 'down with da kidz' and wear the branded banded underpants on show for everyone to see then @costel1969 ? More of a Jockey Ys man I suspect My ex father-in-law said one Christmas his wife gave him underwear and said 'Here, Calvin Klein' he was a different deaf and what we think she probably said was " 'ere, Keep-em Clean!"
Boxers all the way - can't and won't use anything else. I'm definitely not "down with the youf" - wouldn't be part of this thread if I was - they just irritate me.
