    can't remember that, but on a similar note:
    Didn't Crazy Prices have a dedicated 'Crazy Night' - I think thursday? - when they'd make announcements during the evening that certain products were on special offer for a limited time frame?

    It may have only been in Crazy prices Omni, if you saw it you'd remember it. haha They also had a DJ booth If I recall, mad stuff altogether.

    I'd forgotten all about those Chimps and the DJ box! I remember there used to be a Chysler factory or something similar there before the OMNI was built.
    I grew up around there

    1980's UK computer games studios which comes with a severe fashion warning. I recently found myself working with some of their descendants for current console titles, but as a spectrum/c64 kid idolised them.

    Found this in youtube.

    BTW at 58 seconds in the good old NCF were advertising someone won their car prize.
    The name on top left is Enda Colleran Barna Galway.

    I wonder does anyone know if this is The Enda Colleran of Sunday Game fame ?

    Also anyone willing to admit to drinking Kaliber. :D

    I used to use fun snaps instead of matches.

    Step 1: Fold over a load of fun snaps in an accordian shape.

    Step 2: Clamp them in the nut between the two bolts. Good and tight.

    Step 3: Throw it at the ground for massive bang!!

    Step 3: Lol's galore!!

    decoration, it doesn't work with safety matches ;)

    you needed the non-safety ones which you can't get anymore.
