yesterday I saw this new tyre they've invented
where if you get a puncture, you just peel off the top layer and it's like a new tyre underneath

no idea how it works

Sure you weren't just watching an episode of Tomorrow's World
from 1978?

I can just imagine Judith Hann or Maggie Philbin
walking across the studio pushing a bike with a flat before showing a revolutionary new tyre that you peel off when you get a puncture then going on to say how we'll all be using electric cutlery by the end of next year.

what was that Aussie show from the mid-90s
where they talked about CDs as the latest wonder invention?

mid-90s and bigging up CDs? Do you mean mid-1980s?

(Smegg Wallace The O.G. Q.R., Tue 31 Aug 2021, 10:43, archived)

pretty sure it was the mid-90s
which is why it struck me as so ridiculous, the presenter holding one and saying "This...is a CD."

er, if it's Australian then surely they held it up and said "This...is a CD?"

(Smegg Wallace The O.G. Q.R., Tue 31 Aug 2021, 10:53, archived)

nah nah, yeah

Strewth!

You call that a cd?

(Martin Anus, Tue 31 Aug 2021, 11:25, archived)

That's not a CD?

(Smegg Wallace The O.G. Q.R., Tue 31 Aug 2021, 11:27, archived)

They'd probably call it a 'compie'?

Should be in the shops in a year or two!

Between now and then I won't be having any punctures on that bike
