Not so much a saying but, if you were lucky enough to have 2 TVs in the house, the second was always a black and white portable with a circular internal aerial stuck in the back. Our 2nd telly was a colour one, but it had a manual dial you used to tune in the channel. There were no stored channels 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarbear Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Anybody remember the screeching noise your 48k Spectrum made when downloading a game? Spending a day typing in code to play a game only to find the game was crap! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 7 hours ago, coprolite said: Prank calling people with silly names was a good laugh although in retrospect i feel sorry for the Reverend Dick. One of the most famous computer hackers Kevin Mitnick started out his “career” finding ways to bypass the telephone system to do prank calls iirc from reading his autobiography. Clever guy. No doubt he has an alias on here and clearly supports St Mirren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) Not a saying but one of my favourite activities back in the day was sellotaping fishing gut to a pound note and dropping it out of the first floor window. About 1 in 50 clocked it but the rest had a go at picking it up. I distinctly remember an old dear chasing after it for ages before eventually realising and shaking her umbrella angrily at us (no euph). I feel bad thinking back now but was tremendous at the time. See also attaching to someone's letterbox. Edited January 11, 2023 by Alert Mongoose 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, we got relegated to the back room to watch Live Aid in glorious monochrome while Faatha watched snooker or a John Wayne film or something on the colour TV 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My granny didn’t want to use the TV remote control because she thought it might set the curtains on fire if she missed the TV. She hated technology and fascism. God bless her. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 2 hours ago, Fullerene said: There are probably a whole list of phrases to do with using the operator to deal with a call. My favourite is an old Laurel and Hardy sketch where they enter a room and the phone rings. Laurel answers and says "It certainly is" and then hangs up. Hardy looks at him and says "Who was that?". Laurel replies "somebody on the phone said 'it is a long distance from Australia'". "Pardon me, my ear is full of milk" Kids probably haven't seen any Laurel and Hardy shorts on the telly either. Or know who Harold Lloyd is There was a teacher at our school called Harry (the b*****d. Not a bloke from Rumbelows) and they made up a song about him to the Harold Lloyd tune. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
