Neither can I, but then again I didn't have the things that means happiness to today's kids, in my day you made your own entertainment and spent your time out of doors not sat in front of a computer screen

If we had video games back then (and the brass to afford them), we would have been just as bad; but we had to make do with a Dan Dare cap badge and an imagination.;)

They still have selection boxes:eek: I got to get me some of those next Xmas:alright: It's a good lesson for your kids. Rule is with a selection box: open it, and scoff the whole damn thing real quick.:dancedog:

Hey ... it wasn't easy. You had to climb up the slide and then work your way down, waxing all the way. And then it had to be polished ... and there was only one way to do that: by the seat of your pants.:D And the trick was to hit the ground running; or you went arse over tea kettle.:alright: I hope none of the health and safety nazis are reading this.:eek:

Oh, I forgot to mention that, apart from a broken arm, dislocated shoulder (twice), a few stitches, and what was possibly a mild concussion, I didn't hurt myself;):D
