Alert Mongoose Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 There was always someone who had family connections in the articulated lorry industry who managed to get their hands on a large steely. They were the ultimate marble prize - lost many a good marble trying to get one of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd wait 10 minutes for the game to load then it would f uk up. I remember me and my mates during dinner time at school would nip along to Robertson's (I think. Not glens, Hutchison or Stepek.) on Gorgie Road. We'd do a bit of programming along the lines of 10 print "f**k", 20 goto 10, run or whatever it was. f**k would appear all over the garish green screen and a bloke who looked like ex aberdeen/dundee player Bobby Connor would chase us out the shop! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also like to make it very clear that when I said "I had a day out to Stanley Mills" to smash some windows, I was referring to a friend of a friend, called Tony. I was at home playing Psycho Fox and Lucky Dime Caper Starring Donald Duck (prior to going to Pizza Express or its equivalent at the time) and do not condone any form of vandalism.
