Blast From The Past!


Recommended Posts

I remember our first “network” (Nimbus computers) at school which connected computers in various parts of the building like some kind of magic. 

Then realising that you could seriously irritate Mr Lambert the IT teacher by slipping a small bit of paper into a network connection which would shut down the whole network. He would then have to go and check every single connection before rebooting the system. 
 

Ha ha fucking IT folk.

Hot Shot Hamish was the man. I think he played for Princes Park. I got a letter published, helpfully pointing out that the crowds in the background were excessive for a Scottish lower league side, which won me a tenner
Princes Park played in the Scottish Premier Division.

Hotshot was joined by Kevin 'Mighty' Mouse who managed to combine being a professional footballer with being a trainee doctor. Both were eventually transferred to Glengow Rangers who were managed by Ian McWhacker.

Hotshot's dad and his pet sheep McMutton were always somewhere in the background.

I was always intrigued by Hotshot's relationship with his father McMutton

If my old man was working away, he used to bring me one of those back. That time he was away for six months and came back every other weekend was glorious.

Did you ever get to meet your half siblings??

I loved those Spangles as a kid.  There was one particular flavour, a sort of yellowish/mustard colour, that unlike the others

was not translucent.....    , tasted great.

I've never been a big fan of nuts (easy) so when Nestlé brought out the Maverick bar it was a revaluation.

Growing up I must've heard every single Lada joke.

Archers- sold Ladas, Skodas, Yugos and FSOs.

The old man would buy 2nd hand cars that would last about 18 months. In the mid 80s we had a Y reg Skoda Estelle. The boot was in the front and the engine in the back. It was also a strange brick red colour. 

At least it had 4 wheels. My mate's dad had a three wheeler!
