My era too however now it's, to paraphrase a line from the great John Sparkes, there they were...gone.
It's depressing seeing the limited crowds now in places like the Queens Vaults.
I made a personalised wooden spoon for a Scottish work colleague years ago.... He's trying to find it to send back to me.

Boom radio yesterday had one presenter bemoaning modern youth about old idioms.
Examples given were "spend a penny" and "popped his clogs". She then suggested "knee trembler".
The male presenter said they should ask the next presenter if she knew what a "knee trembler" was.
Cue kids questions...

Every time the French get the ball the welsh commentators are saying "Eau-bollocks... They might score again"
Can't think who the latest Kurtzgesagt After Dark video might allude to...

Wasn't helped by the school he was in not wanting kids with EHCPs as the funding they receive is allocated only to that pupil, unlike the pupil plus premium which got "shared".
He finally got his, 2nd year of secondary school.

A photograph of a CD at the front, with a set of wired headphones for the gizmondo games unit.
More stuff I'd forgotten I'd bought over the years. A CD of emulators and roms bought from when "The Works" sold them (remember buying the spectrum one at the same time).
Rarer still, a set of headphones for the Gizmondo games handheld.
Too much stuff here.
