My life this week.................

[littlespark]

A couple of things to discuss if you're interested. First a video that popped up on my FB feed this morning. My era.

And secondly... something from the same time being sold in my local tescos…
A 5 pack of Maxell blank cassette tapes.
Anyone still got a machine that plays these?

I've still got an old BASF reel to reel and also a casette player Walkman somewhere in the attic.

Lets forget about Flash Gordon and WWE......... mostly American rubbish.......

Grange Hill with Danny Kendall and the gang are one of great memories.

We're moving house; there is diddly squat in our attic.

Can't get into the garage mind. Found our Commodore 64, Scalextric set & all the kids school books.

I don't think Fools and Horses belong in the Comic Con setting, but thumbs up to a classic clip.

All my old "music centres" got binned. All my old audio and video cassettes are in the garage (400+). No equipment to play them on. Hardy got a CD player in the house now, and the DVD player is actually a waste of a power socket. The Xbox and the PC under the telly can both play them.

I'm still quite attached to it, except I can't find the tape machine

You can have the Scalextric's for a modest fee

Used to love the C64. So much better than the Spectrum. International Karate and Bangkok Knights were two wicked games I can think of

Did the 64 have a tape machine, or am I thinking of the earlier model?

Yea, the 1530 C2N was probably most common

Think the VIC20 had one aswell, alot of machines of the era did

I know but he mentioned "era" and posted up some American tat ;o)))))

If you liked that one then have a laugh at this, the ex wife saw it being filmed in Ravenscourt Part when bringing the kids from pre school.

VIC20, yep that was the first one I bought. Had the little Bi Plane game, dropping bombs on buildings before you crashed into them!

I was at Pinewood Studios when the Queen visited in 2007, when they were filming Casino Royale, don't you know.
