Trip down memory lane for the old people amongst us?

[Annoyed Grunt]

I had the Evel Knievel bike thing. It was pretty good actually.
No Action Men or Stretch Armstrong on there but I also got the Six Million Dollar Man who could lift up the engine by pressing the button on his back.

I had one of those too....and they were bloody good.

Old fart.

It's true, unfortunatley.

boy next door to me had that... we thrashed it over the back-street cobbles!! (knievel usually fell off!) I think he finally met his end in a backstreet bonfire - it was billed as his greatest trick ever - but was to end in tragedy...

Love how they have decided that everybody else has got the concept of what people want from a shop wrong, and that one day, everybody will come round to their way of having small pictures of everything in a book at the front, type in a code, sit down for a bit and wait for a bloke to find it in a warehouse. Brave. And persistent!

They have done alright out of it over the years though?!

I think it is man-shopping - you know what you want - you go in and buy it - you go home - job done...

as opposed to woman-shopping (pru-shopping?) - you drift endlessly all over town looking in every shop that might have a slight variation on the product before returning to the first place you went and find that someone else has bought the last one in your size...

[mummywhycantieatcrayons]

Well, yes.

I'm just saying that whatever their formula is, they've shifted a lot of stuff at a decent amount of profit over the years!

Clothes and Shoes shopping is an agreed thing in our house. She shops, I stop home. End of. Reason one as above. Reason two; say you like something she tries on and it immediately goes back on the rack and adds another six shops to the trip.

Man shopping in my house is - you know what you want - you log on and buy it - don't even leave the sofa - job done...

Well and, if I may say, thoroughly argued the Bish.

Hate going shopping with Mr GG. Far rather shop on my own, he has no stamina for the task. Men are generally annoying when you're trying to shop.

No. They have pictures and allsorts on this internet thingy, Tango, and size charts too. It's incredible
As it happened I did buy my new crackers from a shop last week (and they weren't £23 either ) but yeah, I'm more than happy to buy clothes online, and regularly do just that.

Far better than having your Mrs to pick you up any old shit - that's for sure.

The £23 was from a sneaky Google because your material sounded a bit like Kevlar bullet proof stuff.

I have so many clothes now and don't socialise that much, so she only shops for shirts mainly.
Must admit my 1980's car coat, kipper tie and flares get a few strange looks occasionally now, but I had my time of being a " dedicated follower of fashion".

When I was married someone once asked me "Does your wife pick your clothes?" To which I replied "No, just my 4ucking pockets".

I had the bionic man and transporter thing. My bionic man had his eye in wrong though...everything was further away! Took me a few years to work that one out mind

I remember the radios as well...makes me feel quite old
