What do you remember?

[Northern Star]

After posting in the new members bit this morning and calling someone 'matey' it reminded me of the bubble bath my nana used to get for me when i was a child. This sparked my memory to other things that i remember particulalry from my childhood. Heres a few bits and bobs that i really remember from being young! I seem to be the only person on the face of the planet that remembers jana of the jungle lol

What about you lot, is there anything that really sticks out as being a prominent memory of your being a kiddywink?

Ahhhh you gotta love trips down memory lane eh

 

[Jiglo]

I vaguely remember some of those too, Debbles

Here's a few things from my youth that i've still got in a drawer

My first pair of swimming goggles
My first personal stereo
My first flick comb:lol: :$
My frisbee
A pair of neon sunglasses from the 80's I had/have a yellow pair too. If you wanna borrow it to accessorize with your shirt Bendy, give me a shout mate :lol:
My black widow catapult that I broke a school window with:$

PS Jigs, loving the black widow, I was most disgruntled when we were kids and my brother got one and I didn't, really wanted one. But to show there were no hard feelings I actually bought him one the Christmas before last, with loads of ammo, (yes, is now into his 30's but nowt wrong with being a big kid now and again I say) . Retro-tastic

Haha they're good fun, but scarily powerful in the wrong hands (You can supposedly put a ball bearing through a car door with one )

The elastic is bloody hard to change when it breaks though and look how badly the rubber has aged after all this time

:lol: :lol: On their way then, Benny

They're selling soda streams again aren't they leaky? Remember some of the other things too.

Can anyone remember what those spring hoppers were called?:S They had a plastic base with a spring attached and a body on the top that you pressed down and then waited until it jumped into the air?

Does anyone remember those toffee football style rattles too? The rattle was plastic, but the tube was filled with sweets.

[Jiglo]

Yeah those are the ones I used to get one if I went to the dentist, or whatever

 

[JD7]

that sort of thing? Came with animals, monsters, whatever

 

[Jiglo]

Haha that's the type JD

The plastic base was made out the plastic that smashed into pieces if you used it on hard surfaces
