Memories of Childhood...Images only please

I got a portable record player two Christmasses ago as my original stereo's needle disintegrated! Records bounce about a bit!
Remember these.

Recording what you wanted, when you wanted to watch it on a large tape that you could stretch past its originally intended length.

You must remember these shops-we had one across the road from us. You went in, choose from hundreds of video films and television series-I think you could have up to 3 each time, then you showed your ID card and then you could keep them for a week. When you finished you just posted them through the front door box.

Well put it this way I was too young to remember the Moon Landing, but old enough to remember the first Space Shuttle taking off. Too young to remember the first run of Monty Python but old enough to remember Fawlty Towers and too young to remember the Beatles but old enough to remember Punk Rock and Ska/NuWave/Two Tone beginning. I wouldn't presume to ask how old you are anyway.

One who got my teenage pulse racing

I think you can see the influence that Benny Hill had on Paul Hogan.

Yep...there was even a sketch in the Paul Hogan show that was a weird cross between the Benny Hill Show and Hawaii Five O...really weird viewing!

Aye....what always made me laugh was that whatever Leo Wanker did to himself, whether blowing himself up or whatever, his backup crew would always rush over and aim fire extinguishers at his bollocks

Anyone remember trying for these at school?
