BallochSonsFan Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Friday night TV being decent. Drop The Dead Donkey (and then later Father Ted) Beavis and Butthead Eurotrash Whose Line Is It Anyway? The Word Even Rapido on BBC 2 was pretty good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great fun was had bouncing them off folks heads trying to get the caps to pop. edit: can you still get caps? Or have we become such a namby pampy pussy state that we don't sell kids small rolls of explosive paper?

Bobby Skidmarks Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Indeed. The 80s were all about making wee bombs in your garden from toilet toll tubes filled with sodium chlorite weed killer. Definitely frowned up for doing that these days. Nerd. There wasn't a better feeling than when your local convenience store starting selling bangers at the start of October. Luckily they didn't care you were 13 and gladly took your money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Do they still sell penny bangers? Obviously you'll have to spend more than a penny if they still do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Remember this? Was a simpler time.
