Remember the smell of this on a Christmas morning, thick oily plastic stuck right in the back of the throat.

Seem to remember the game sounds turned up on a bauhaus b side a few years later.

When "enter the Dragon" came out ,my school Elliot became a very dangerous place with pitched
battles at lunch and kids suprising you with a flying kick to the head....everyone was "Kung Foo Fighting"......
Answering the phone with ...Put 8080..
the first Jean Machine shop in the kings road......just a pile of second hand US denim...
"The Great American Disaster" the first "Proper" burgers....in Kings Rd too.
Dayvilles..52 flavours of ice cream when you were used to 4.
Smoking on the tube and upstairs on buses.
Going to Kensington market to score..

British bulldog was the best game ever. We had some fierce game of it in junior school, 200 strong contests, 'till the teachers banned us from playing.

When was smoking on buses stopped? I didn't think it was all that long ago.

about 20 years ago :)

As I said, not that long ago.

We used to do this of a lunch time. Hundreds of Compy kids bashing hell out of each other.

I was explaining it to someone a while ago, and they asked how the hell, such a thing was organised. All I could say was that it just kinda happened. Like the time a few hundred of us decided it was too warm for school, and fecked off to the river. With the logic that a handful of teachers would never be able to round us up.

The dozens of angry, violent, police. Did a decent job though.

.....those were the days....

bowl haircuts (from real bowls)

Nothing changed then, eh?

ha!
I knew after I posted that..........
grrrr!!

Ahhh, British Bulldog and smoking on the school bus....happy days

I remember before my Mum & Dad knew I smoked....got the bus in the morning, reached into my pocket to get my fags out and realised I'd left them on my bed! Shitting myself all day at school, knowing my Mum would've made my bed for me and discovered my grotty little habit...

what a game! and not a euph at all

Bit like 'scrumping'?

I've just told my four year old to turn his music down.

Please don't do this! Go back and tell him that the Internet told you you were wrong.

I've confiscated a bag of weed from our 15 yo and had to give him a lecture.
Also found a packet of condoms. XL size. Feel slightly intimidated now....

Man, this is a serious blast from the past. I had one of these and absolutely loved it. I wonder if it is still in the loft....??
