Us spectrum kids used to smoke behind the bike sheds while commobores stayed behind for extra maths. The recommended games from the magazines were given cooler names too. The Spectrum's "Crash Smash" sounded way better than a "Zzap! SiZZler". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he will always remind me of the excellent Micro Men, especially the best reaction to bad news ever. Â First thing I think of every time he's mentioned, especially this scene which is how I now imagine him talking. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did, but at the time it was £14.99, and in them days you could buy a house for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody that got a "ham shank" to that pixellated image needs their heads looked at it. Nothing there. She is rather well endowed, but it's shadowed.,,,,unfortunately... ADDED: Anybody else spotted the rise of "porn mags" discarded on the street like it's 1992? It's mental. Clive Sinclair basically invented the "Mobility Scooter" for disabled people. Other people added shit to it, but Clive did the first prototype (with his Electric Car thingy), which kind of moves like a "Mobility Scooter".
