Bit of a weird one but sure maybe someone remembers it, you might remember it being dubbed on T na G? ...presumably with Molly and Rossa from the Morbegs doing all the voices. Used to stick it on and not have a clue what was going on but they were animated so it was grand.

Can't mention TG4 without this yoke too, I guess

Had one of these back in the day, had a massive (back in 02) 32Mb storage for your MP3's

Last phone I had before colour screens came in as well.

When I was a boy, I used to get sanwich spread and ham sandwiches for lunch.

Was in Tesco this morning and spotted a jar. Had a sandwich for lunch. Fecking lovely stuff!!

It's funny how names can just pop in to your head, after decades without a single mention. Who remembers this lady?

Me and my friends used to get a great laugh turning off TVs in the local bookmakers when horse races were coming to the end.

The TVs were all the same brand (Mitsubishi iirc), so they'd all knock off together :pac:

Still amazes me to this day. What a device.

11-10-2014 1:01am

I remember when I first got one of these in 1976ish (well something similar)

I went through the first set of batteries in about a week!

kingchess · 11-10-2014 6:06pm

mine lasted two days before my brother decided to open the back to see what was in it,I was heart broken-I really loved that watch.:(

Anyone remember Robin Hood ice lollies? I can't even find a picture unfortunately

Yes! I've tried finding pics of them for this thread before... yeah the cola flavour were my favourite - only 20p each, used to go down with a pound and get 5 at once

Used to love spending the afternoons after coming home from school watching Art Attack.

I always remember Neil Buchanan seemed to be the MacGuyver of the humble loo roll holder.
Ahh, good times.

wyrn · 28-10-2014 2:55pm

Ah I remember Neil Buchanan from Finders Keepers. I always wanted to go on that show along with Fun House and Pat Sharp (a whole lot of fun, prizes to be won...) Really really really wanted a go on those go-karts

Zombienosh · 28-10-2014 3:09pm

McChubbin · 28-10-2014 6:21pm

Wyrn, I know how you feel!
Fun House was the ****!

Used to love it when the contestants got slimed!
Anyone here remember Care Bears and the original My Little Pony?
Also, Happy Meal toys from McDonald's were of far superior quality back in the 90s- myself and my mother built up quite an impressive collection of them over the years along with some of the better stuff found inside the occasional Kinder egg. for years, I used to beg my parents to get me the Kinder Easter Egg but I never got it.

That said, I used to love collecting the free mugs that came with certain egg brands.

Psion Organiser:

My brother had one. Was pretty rubbish really. I was just disappointed it didn't have any games on it. :-)

Wing Commander:

Played this for hours and hours and hours when I was supposed to be studying for my Leaving. Actually played WC2 around this time, but both apply.

Baggy "madchester" jeans / clothes:

Back in the late 80s / early 90s people wore clothes that were at least three sizes too big for them. All I wanted at the time were big baggy jeans like The Stone Roses wore, but could never get them. Eventually Road Jeans were available here but by then it was too late.

Original iPod:

I know it wasn't that long ago (I got mine 10 years ago mind you) but there was just something about the white ipod, with the blue screen and red buttons. It looked and felt amazing. The new ones are better I suppose with the full colour screens for your artwork, but this one has a beautiful look. Its a pity you can't get white ones anymore.

Thursday 7pm BBC1:

No matter who you were or what you did, you watched Top of the Pops. There'd always be one "outrageous" rock band on that would make your parents roll their eyes. In many cases the only time you got to see music videos or "live" (mimed) performances of your favourite groups was on TOTP.

irish_goat · 04-11-2014 5:19pm

My first MP3 player.

Remember one lad in school slaggin' me off for not owning an Apple MP3 player, then a while later he was all annoyed about running out of battery on a school trip, so I offered him one of my iriver spares.:pac:

Mike Litoris · 04-11-2014 9:47pm

I had 2 of them bad boys.....wait, I still do somewhere. Blew the ipod out of the water on sound alone never mind the features!
Awesome unintentional retro Russian styling on the H120.
