    Don’t wanna cause a fracas, but BA Baracas, have I got a match for you.
    She makes them look like a bunch of fairies.
    She’s got more bottle than United Dairies.

    You can take your heroes, your Robert De Niros. Your Al Pacinos too.
    They say Stallone is just another phoney. He couldn’t lace his shoes.

    Ah, nostalgia...TV-wise it has to be the series Knightmare, which has never been bettered. Kids getting killed by giant scorpions and falling off cliffs? It would never happen now.

    The old Six O'Clock News theme...Seaview (with Yvette Fielding)...Italia '90...when adverts were actually better than programs...Kiki Dee's 'Star' introducing Opportunity Knocks...post arriving before 1:30pm...little boxes of alphabetti spaghetti soup...weather maps with recognisable symbols...sorry, what was the question again?

    Am I allowed to get nostalgic about Leicester City being in the Premiership? Because that feels like ages ago.

    I'm 21-ish, and I remember going to the corner shop down the road, aged 8/9 with a note from my Dad to the shopkeeper asking him to sell me an ounce of Old Holburn tobacco, and the shopkeeper would do just that.  I also remember being able to get a big bag full of 1/2penny chews with the 30p Dad would give me for going. I also remember having to sit next to the radio-cassette player, on a Sunday night, to tape the Top 40.....trying to cut out all the chat and adverts was almost impossible.

    I was trying to think of something, but that's golden! I remember it well. But in my day (being 22) it was all Steps and Britney Spears and N-Sync, wasn't it Rolling Stones and Beegees for you? teehee

    We were once putting on a cheesefest of old hits in a show at Uni, and I suggested we do Kylie & Jason, and the other students, being 'slightly' younger than I, all said "who?"!!!

    Back in the mid 70's when I was young pup, I would go to the cinema on a Saturday afternoon for the kids matinee.

    You would get a film, something like The Cat from Outer Space, one of those Children's Film Foundation shorts (remember them?) and some cartoons.

    But the highlight for me was when they showed the trailers.

    This particular cinema used to have late night double bills at the weekend, kung-fu flicks, horror movies, the Confession movies etc.

    And right in the middle of the children's matinee we would be treated to the trailers for these illicit treats (my personall favourite was the trailer for Master of the Flying Guillotine which had the titular contraption of death landing on some poor chaps head and ended on a freeze frame just as he was about to have his noggin forcefully removed).

    Happy days indeed.

    Have a good one guys.

    Yes, I remember this Keith. 12.45pm on Radio 1 Tuesdays were when they originbally used to announce the new chart and new number one. The following Sunday's rundown was just a repeat of this information until 1987...

    Yes, i was a massive chart geek. I used to write down the Top 40 and memorise it. Shocking...

    Hmm. Off-topic...Mr Orford, why is your 'STARmeter' rating up 44% on IMDB this week? Is it because of sitting next to Ian?

    For starters...

    Spangles, which my dentist used to hand out after a clean check-up!

    Sweet Cigarettes, when they could still be called Sweet Cigarettes and not Candy Sticks as they are now.

    Rice paper, 1p a sheet.

    Sweet Tobacco, Mmmm, coconut tastyness.

    Buying your sweets by the 1/4 was normal.

    Hedgehog flavour crisps.

    Frozen Tip-Tops or those odd frozen triangluar shape things you'd wreck your gums on.

    What about having to WALK to the TV to change the channel....

    An I POD was really a sony walkman....

    a net was something you caught fish in...

    and the FBI didn't need to be notified when you were 5 minutes late for your tea!!!!!

    Rich

    More nostalgia for you.

    Tinker and Tucker (2 bears) with a lady called Jean Morton (A TV Show)

    Also, my "Saturday Job" was delivering Corona pop.  (Think Corona was bought out by AG Barr soft drinks)

    You may be too young for these.

    Haunted House ice lollys.

    They were milk flavoured lollys, I thought I'd be resourceful and reuse some lolly sticks by sticking them in a beaker of milk and putting it in the freezer...

    It didn't taste good!

    (Btw all of these are from the 70s or early 80s)
