Lol - just brought back that memory. He was a character

Evil Kneivel was great, Scaletrix and Action Man

But these were my other favs

Reading through all those things ive just realised how lucky i was as a kid as i had nearly all those toys for christmas's as a child especially riding my Raleigh chopper up n down de la pole avenue(not hospital)in thick snow and my mum and dad thought i was crackers as my face and hands were blue but still carried on bombing about on it till it got dark

Circa 1989-1994 ??

Merlin, c1980. 6 games, including noughts and crosses [uand[/u Blackjack 13. Awesome.

One toys that I didnt get but my sister got which I got hooked on was SIMON, it was bloody addictive

I lived there from 1972-1983
Carrington avenue off de la pole ave i lived..number 8

Risk, Monopoly, Crossfire.

Never had a action man or the like.

Used to have a Raleigh Chopper bike though; Orange with a Black ball gear change.

subbuteo, had the footie, then the rugby, and the cricket, absol brill

Bit before me then, my mam and dad had the shop on the corner

Favourite toy has to be power ranger. i got all power rangers and the zords when i were bout 7-8. Loved that christmas..

Favourite game, well there's a few. Monopoly Hull Version, Scene It or Playstation/Xbox games

I remember getting Subbuteo World Cup edition (1974) which came with floodlights but also remember my old man taking them so my mam could see to cook our tea as there was no electricity due to power cuts. Presumably it would have been early 1975? No TV either - good times!

Christmas circa 2012 we got a dodgy rich benefactor injecting £15M ,joking aside did anyone get flight deck? ,merry Christmas folks

That is soooo funny



I was lucky enough to miss much of the power cuts as was out of country but that is a cracking funny story.... my mate made a fortune selling candles from the basket of a bread lads bike !!

My younger brother had literally thousands of Airfix soldiers , he was battling the jerrys every single minute he wasnt at school or in bed, had a cracking airfix gun emplacement and a pontoon bridge went with them as well .... what great memories eh??
Merry xmas everyone

Got a good suprise off santa today , Roam the range part 2 signed by the Mr Allen ... Keep believing, old faithfull

As a kid in the 80's i loved getting Lego and Scalextric. The latter worth a fair bit now made in England and boxed.

Now its alcohol!
