I’m so old I remember…

[Crownvic]

and the phones were like bricks

You couldn’t rip them up either.

 

[LeSabreur]

You young puppies and your cute talk about clunky mobile phones!

Why, back in my day you had to dial with your finger, and the phone was made of bakelite and weighed ten pounds! And there was ONE ring tone and it sounded like, RIIIIIIIING! And there was no voicemail...there weren't even answering machines! If you couldn't get hold of someone, you just tried again later.

Bunch of young whipper-snappers!

Does anybody remember "Tom Terrific"? It was a TV cartoon show in the 1950's. You could get a plastic sheet to go over the TV screen (B&W) and draw along with crayons with Tom.

I had all the stuff from the first album. Thought the second was really poor.

Loved Wham! too even though it wasn’t cool

Did your sister have a Choose Life t-shirt?

I dunno but my best friend stuck one in my brother's foot and it made an awful mark.

Apparently they tried a version you could play on the Ferry.
Didn’t really take off, for some reason

Perhaps cos it was called Farts
