Oh my goodness
On a random facebook group, there was a link to an album of photos of my old neighbourhood.
I've just found photos of my great grandma that I'm assuming weve not seen because they're from other people's albums, and also school photos showing my aunties and uncles.
I'm a lil weepy here guys. Yes, you heard. Roota's gone well soft.
Not soft enough to make contact with any of the miscreants I was unfortunate to grow up with, I must add.

What's made you feel nostalgic recently?

my post about simon cowell's hair reminded me of when I was a kid and I wanted to marry billy ray cyrus and cut his ponytail off.
*sigh*

A guy at work played Come Back to What You Know

(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Wed 3 Feb 2010, 17:13, Reply)

Wimpy used to (and maybe still do)
sell what was effectively a frankfurter in a bun - which was rofflingly known as a 'bender'.

You know the 80s Virgin ads currently running? The chap who gets ketchup down himself is eating one.

I’m afraid I can’t make tea,

I spent most of my lunch time today
talking with people I work with about old games consoles we used to have as kids. I was getting all nostalgic for an Amstrad and also to play Alex Kid on a Sega Master System.
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Wed 3 Feb 2010, 16:43, Reply)

my neighbours had Paperboy
Was that Amstrad?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 3 Feb 2010, 16:45, Reply)

I'm not sure - possibly!?
I didn't have that. I had Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Aliens, Manic Miner, Booty... Booty was ACE!
