Space dust will always be that to us mate. Texan bars were my fave too, I used to love the way you could bite them and get that long stringy toffee type stuff to go about 8 inches away from the bar.

Old Jamaica was great. Mmmmmmmmm

We had a betamax video when I was a kid. They were a much better quality. If it wasn't for the porn industry, betamax would have been the one to make it, they realised it was cheaper to mass produce VHS than Betamax, hence the death of it.

[scooby999]

Cant believe you found a pic of this!!!!
I forgot that i used to have one of these ..............right I am off to ebay to see if i can find one

you seem to know alot about the porn industry

Once you start digging about, it's amazing the stuff that sparks your memory.

They were one of the "Must have" toys of the 70's without doubt

What an era that must have been to have lived in.

I have often thought that to have been born when my grandparents were, would have been good when you consider the changes that they have lived through and seen.
From the earliest electrical inventions, radio,telephone, television and computers,to cars, planes and rockets that put man on the moon.


Some of my childhood TV programmes:

Watch with mother,
Bill & Ben
Andy Pandy
Torchy the Battery Boy
Tin Tin
Twizzle
Muffin The Mule (all in Black & White)

and Dads 1st wheels were a 650 BSA and side car followed by a Ford Popular, Vauxhall Wivern, Vauxhall Victor Estate, i can still remember its reg no. ADY 60B

The 1st LP I brought was a Top of The Pops compilation followed by,
The Sweet,
Shawaddywaddy
Garry Glitter
Slade
& Bowie.

[Kei Man]

Even more scary I still have somewhere my little Red Book Driving Licence.

[bigemp]

You're showing your youth!

Slade were still skinheads when this photo was taken, and Dave Hill probably modelled himself on that chap.

Mick Hill used to drive some lairy supersaloons back in the 1970s
