My life this week.................

[SparkyChick]

Yea, the 1530 C2N was probably most common

Think the VIC20 had one aswell, alot of machines of the era did

The one and only Commodore machine I owned... the Vic 20.

Switched to an Atari 400 after that and then the Atari ST (still like playing some of the games - emulated though).

And @Massive1 , Grange Hill... The earliest are the best, with Tucker and Co.

Name dropper.

I was at Pinewood Studios when the Queen visited in 2007, when they were filming Casino Royale, don't you know.

Funny who should mention Bond, my Aunt worked for Kevin McLory as his PA, he knew Flemming and adapted the Thunderball screenplay, stayed at his place in the Bahamas many years back my other Aunt made dresses for the Queen as she worked for Norman Hartnell as a freelancer and she also worked on Lady Diana's wedding dress.

I have lots of interesting snippets.......

Top Trumps eh old chap........

and I have an absolutely amazing Sony ghetto-blaster with twin cassette decks and remote control and removeable speakers, and frankly..it ROCKS sound-wise!
Also plays radio and CDs

I'm still quite attached to it, except I can't find the tape machine

You can have the Scalextric's for a modest fee

Is the Scalextric transformer,the big old metalclad one,with a reset button on the top?
I had one of those,and used to trip the reset,with a screwdriver,then use it as an electric detonator,for my ecsplosive experiments (deliberate spelling )

Happy days....now just having the recipe lists,is a 5 year holiday...
