# My sisters got a Mike Reid game when I was a nipper
It was a book with an electonic gadget. There was a question with two answers. You chose your answer, held the gadget over it, pressed the button and it told you if it was the correct answer or not.

# I had something like that with a sort of pen thing
and the pen thing had a red light and a green light. That's pretty much all I remember.

# I had a stick which was painted white...
I say painted white, it was the stick my dad used to stir paint before her decorated the living room ceiling...

I used to love that stick.

# phwoar
right - well - I have to put together a paper proposing non standard fees for the 2010/11 session ... and one to change the policy for refunds for PGT withdrawals... and put an agenda together... and a couple of other things.

also - Ms. Yam_Bucket, could you please come into my office and take something down...

# Ladies and Gentlemen
& esteemed colleagues, I propose we need to introduce non-standard fees for the 2010/11 session, as clearly from the evidence available we can see that standard fees haven't worked in 2008/09 and are set to fall behind France in 2009/10. If you all look at the bar chart in the handout this is unrefutable. And so, in conclusion, vote Yes on proposition 21.

There, done.

# Clackers were banned at our school
as were those bits of plastic that, when smacked on your wrist, would wrap around it. Too many kids injuring themselves with them

# Thankfully not...

# Aye,

# Did they?
I'm not up on popular culture.
One of my favourite toys was a gyroscope that lit with the energy of its own motion and came with a miniature Eiffel tower that you could balance it on as it spun. I was fascinated by that ( of course I was, it was SCIENCE)

edit:// my old mind is fuddled. The light up one was a huge thing and did not come with the tower, that was a smaller die-cast gyro. I had both at different times.

# You do know that Science doesn't exist right?
It is all a concept invented by the NWO to keep you in your place! If teh truth came out, we would all be able to fly!
