    Space Raiders cost 10p.

    Getting home from school to watch Nickelodeon was the highlight of the day.

    The Beano was 40p.

    Irn Bru bars were on sale.

    I had a bowl cut. :56:

    What about you?

    When I was wee you could buy McGowans toffee chews for 1/2p. There were only 3 stations on the telly and they were only on for 14 hours a day. You could buy a million Beanos for 40p. Irn Bru was made in Scotland from girders, and I had a bowl cut.

    gameboy colour was hi-tech.

    you only got to see * when you found an old magazine in a hedge.

    me and all my mates had a ferret and went ferreting.

    fitba tops were dire and could probably bring on seizures and fits (the 90s)

    huns were just as thick and ugly as they are now

    I didn't know what walkin was. I ran everywhere. I was like Forrest Gump. Spangles, whatever happened to Spangles. My mum used to call me and my brother in for dinner. We'd have to stop our game of headie two touch at 22 - 17, for a quick food break, before playin on to about 50. Morecambe and Wise were the biggest draw on Saturday night telly, yet inexplicably, looking back on it, they used to share a bed. Go figure!

    Wrestling was awesome. Shawn Michaels, Ultimate Warrior, Honky Tonk Man, Austin, The Rock etc. Used to stay up EVERY Monday night for RAW.

    Celtic were feeling the effects of financial issues, whilst Rangers were signing great players from England and effectively buying the league title every single season. Wim Jansen came in, signed Larsson and stopped the 10.

    Those were the days :shamrock:
