    That's a bit harsh, but they do need some sort of corrective therapy in order to make sure they cease believing these made up afflictions actually exist.

    Concentration camps should just for those who claim to be left handed, and full grown men who are under 5'9"

    I presume you are 5'10 you midget? You do know they gassed gypsies too? Be careful what you wish for.

    not heard that in Ages 

    Classic 

    they where the best band of the 90s 

    Did they pay Yoko Ono John Lennon's royalties for the opening chords?

    What a dirge.

    Don’t listen to @Not in Crawley @Youri McAnespie 

    When it comes to Brit pop only one band dominated the genre. 

    That Beatles/Slade/T-Rex etc. cover band?

    They even ripped off John Lennon's eyewear. Noel twat wears rings on his fingers, William twat wears a syrup.

    Their greatest songs would fit on a 7"...

    Popularity doesn’t equate with good - McDonald's isn't the best eaterie, the scum aren't the best team, 'spoons isn't the best pub, Corrie isn't the best thing on telly.

    Coked out self indulgent rubbish in the main.

    Digsy's Dinner?  Bonehead's Bank Holiday?

    Do me a lemon, those who loved them unconditionally know feck all about music.

  4. I was sexualised at a very early age after finding hardcore porn mags under my parents' mattress when I was kipping there sick. I used to try and re-enact what I'd seen with my Action Man and one of my sisters' Cindy dolls, except neither have genitals.

    Best presents were my BMX and 128k toaster rack Spectrum. Freedom in both cases.

    And, Sweep, course you'll need a van, to steal scrap metal. On a pushiorn you can get to Manchester in half the time as a car if you're reasonably fit.

    . my dads response of “ let’s see who’s laughing when they try go up Garstang ave  with no gears eh” didn’t make it any easier to deal with 

    Garstang Avenue is twat of a hill, I cocked more gears going up there than anywhere - Miguel Indurain would struggle. Raleigh Burners were decent - especially the white and blue with mag wheels. I drunkenly bid on two Om Flyers about ten years ago and won, one was in Bournemouth one in Bristol - I had to give them a score in compo. each after pretending my nephew had used my laptop/account to bid.

    I remember it, but you were only about 4

    It was an articulated lorry, with a hard wired control, very much like this, but without the coolness of the ladder. It was that shit it wouldn't work properly on the carpet, so you could only use it in the Kitchen (this is when we lived on Le Gendre St)  -  same year, I got a Raleigh Budgie, which was like a Chopper, bit smaller and without the gears....it had obviously come from a second hand shop, as it was rusty as fuck.

    Happy Days 🙂

     

    See the source image

    An uncle bought me a shit wired car, I got bored with it in ten minutes and decided sticking the steering thing on the chassis on my hair was a good idea - I had a bald patch at eight. We used to mock kids with Budgies and Choppers - I felt like Sonny Crockett in his Ferrari on my BMX.

  7. Going through to Mistry's shop on our BMXs me and a mate would 'surf' standing on our crossbars - this was when it was rat run to the hospital too. I went from Strika straight to BMX. I remember trying to 'Endo' the Strika by peddling at full pelt to a kerb, the Strika stayed where it was, I did a 360 over the handlebars.

    ‘It’ wasn’t sold. It was one of a number of companies formed after the CEGB was sold off by Thatchers government. 

    It's a fancy boutique now, people prancing about there now in stupid faashionwear where the likes of Blondie, The Ramones and The New York Dolls once played...

    Ah.

    Sketch a graph.

    Like everything else in the 70s.  The adverts had you looking in awe and wonder.  The reality by about five past nine on Xmas day, was it was absolute crap and it'd never see the light of day again.

    Magna-Doodle was where it was at.

    I got a gift set of tiny aftershaves; Insignia, Tabac, Blue Stratos etc. at 9, I thought I was the dogs bollocks.

    if they had chosen Youri as a representative example of humanity. They’ll never come back, that’s for certain.

    They wouldn't because they'd shit their spacesuits.

  11. I went out with a Polish girl (handful but perfect) for a while - she'd lived here ages and was quite resentful toward the Poles pitching up later.

    Anyhow we were in Madrid and that Church had a statue of that Pope, I compared him (The Statue) to Dracula and Bishop Brennan, she didn't speak to me for twelve hours.

    There's a massive street named after him in Warsaw with a shrine where folk can light candles and leave flowers etc. The top end is full of sex shops, strip clubs, 24hr booze shops and I presume, brothels (the street not the shrine).
