RE: Memories of Childhood - lovebabes56 - 19-06-2019 08:14 I think there are two very rare Subbuteo games I believe. RE: Memories of Childhood - GMach1 - 21-06-2019 11:39 Did anyone here have Cluedo? I think we still have an original game from the 70's but it was a great game to play with friends or family. You could choose from 6 characters -I always like playing Professor Plum-and you went around the board taking it in turns to ask questions about the murder of a Doctor Black(although why he was murdered was never explained) someone would be selected to add three cards to a dark wallet and that was placed in the middle of the board -if you worked out who did, with what object and what room you could challenge the wallet and see if you were right. The idea was to elimnate the suspects, objects and rooms to get the solution. In the US it was called Clue and in the early 90's a comedy film was made of it. As with all games though they get updated and some of the characters have been replaced. RE: Memories of Childhood - rpj316 - 21-06-2019 11:55 ^ yes we had Cluedo,brilliant game Although I don't know where our regular version of the game went but I recall us getting a Simpson's version.The same premise but you had these suspects : Kristy The Clown as Col.Mustard Bart Simpson as Prof.Plum Homer Simpson as Rev.Green Marge Simpson as Mrs.Peacock Lisa Simpson as Miss Scarlett Waylon Smithers as Mrs.White The weapons changed as well,the usuals replaced with : Poisoned doughnut Extend-O-Glove Necklace Slingshot Plutonium rod Saxophone The rooms changed to the following also : Barney's Bowl-A-Rama Krustylu Studios Nuclear Power Plant The Simpson House The Frying Dutchman Kwick-E-Mart Burns Manor Springfield Retirement Castle The Android's Dungeon RE: Memories of Childhood - GMach1 - 24-06-2019 00:17 Television: Did anyone see that Bill Grundy interview with The Sex Pistols that practically ruined his career after that? I only saw it much later and I don't recall it being in the papers. Apparently John Lydon(aka Johnny Rotten) was reluctant to say anything and at one point he says "oops nearly said something rude there" but it was Glen Matlock who started it, after it looked like Siousxie Sue(soon to be of Siousxie and the Banshees) made a comment that she liked him. Grundy had said something like see after the show or some such thing and Matlock pounced. Grundy saw his chance and got him to swear even more, at which point Lydon looked a little sheepish but said something in the end. With all the worst swearwords flying about Grundy signed off, but that had basically sealed his fate. His son Tim(who also became a presenter) always maintained that his father was made the unnecessary scapegoat for that interview and that Thames had basically disowned him. I was too young to have watched that but I bet it was THE talking point for people the next day. Punk died out a few years later, but Lydon went on to have solo hits as well as later a new band called PiL and a hit called Rise. RE: Memories of Childhood - andyjb - 24-06-2019 02:09 This news report about the Sex Pistols' television appearance ran in the Guardian two days later, on December 3 1976. https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/1976/dec/03/greatinterviews Transcript: Sex Pistols v Bill Grundy. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2004/feb/04/realitytv.broadcasting1 RE: Memories of Childhood - cwpussylover - 24-06-2019 09:42 things I remember as a child...Lucy Gresty RE: Memories of Childhood - GMach1 - 24-06-2019 12:21 Ah well if you're talking about girls as a child mine would be top athlete Kathy Smallwood, Page 3 girls like Jane Warner, Debbie Boyland, Samantha Fox and Linda Lusardi. I did have a crush on Suzanne Dando(great legs) and US child actress (when I was about 9 or 10) Kim Richards from Escape To/Return From Witch Mountain films- she was so cute. RE: Memories of Childhood - GMach1 - 26-06-2019 18:06 Did any of you ever get to London and in particular go to the then Odeon Disney Cinema in St Martin's Lane? Well I remember one birthday my Dad took me up to London and we went on the HMS Belfast ship, then went for lunch at a Golden Egg restaurant before finally going to the cinema to see 'Donald Duck Goes West' which I don't think has ever been shown on television. It was a big place with each aisle depicting a Disney character like King Louie(Jungle Book) and Mickey Mouse of course. I don't know what happened but soon after it closed or was converted. I do remember going up there by underground train and looking at the posters advertising the cartoon. RE: Memories of Childhood - lovebabes56 - 27-06-2019 20:10 One thing i DO remember when I was a nipper was the Letraset transfer sets. Basically they were a sheet of a scene and a sheet of character transfers which you placed and rubbed on the scene sheet. I remember doing quite a few. The trick was to keep the sheet underneath the transfer sheet, so you couldn't transfer any you didn't want to place. They are something the kids ae def missing out on today, and I doubt you find many available online. Do any of you guys remember them and had any favourites? update Seen some on e - bay some people asking £35+ for some!! SO SOME DO still exist!! RE: Memories of Childhood - GMach1 - 27-06-2019 22:04 On the very first Letts Schoolboy Diary I have from 1978(and I have over 40 yrs worth of diaries and organiser stuff) I have two Star Wars figures I put on the front(C3PO and R2D2) and they were Letraset. Remember them very well, only a few pence back then. |
