Lets bring back some memories. I want to see what toys you had when you were little. For me, its the Tomy Turbo Dashboard.



Damn, that thing was awesome.

Norb what are you doing up at half past 3?

I remember playing various games on a ?Commodore as a toddler with my dad... truly brilliant.



New bikes, me, sister#1 RedCarGirl and sister#2 NoCarGirl, aged ~3, 6 and 8 or thereabouts. God I miss being able to ride a bike. frown

It was ste, I was never one for toys. I prefered being in my dads garage mixing chemicals.

I remember quite fondly the 1st time the police came to our house to tell my dad about an explosion in the park.

Those were the days.

Becca...? Great to hear from you again!

I have been at uni since september, i'm in a student lifestyle now. I usually sleep from about 4am-2pm, depending on whether I have anything on.

Yar, s'me. wavey Just about to try and go to sleep again.

You do know that student lifestyle doesn't have to mean turning entirely nocturnal, don't you?

Hardly nostalgia, this topic was done about a month ago, and about 6 months before that. More like omnibus hehe

Thing is EVERYONE wanted one of these, the hype was insane, a bit nintendo wii... shops sold out, etc.

My mate chubby nathan had one, couldnt wait to have a go with it... but it turned out to be a bit of a let down, one afternoon of smashing mister Knievel into various bits of household furniture was all I could muster.

I had that exact same set! I discovered the power of fire by placing the burner near an ants nest at spraying a can of WD-40 over it to make a nice flamethrower. Lots of toasty ants.
