Kilbowie's Finest Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 The coop. Used to use these to buy Star Wars figures after the big shop. They also had tubes that sucked up money like something out of Charlie and the chocolate factory. I can remember fine fare as everything was like soviet Russia with yellow tins with black font. Supermarket food really used to be terrible. The Indian stuff used to be totally rank. M&S was the game changer, now everything is pretty decent. Pot Noodles were probably a highlight back then. I think there's maybe too much choice now at times, there's a big ASDA near me and they have about a hundred different orange juices. Simpler times back then, it was APPLE JUICE or ORANGE JUICE take it or leave it! On a similar vein of shite old supermarkets I give you Presto 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for reminding me ! Saw a special edition recently that has cartoonised chapters and a few different opening scenes with Warriors talking about Cyrus and the gathering. Worth a look.

tongue_tied_danny Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) There's a TV cut of the Warriors that has quite a few extra scenes that aren't in the theatrical cut. It gives more of a backstory and introduces the characters. I've read the novel but TBH it's not as good as the film. The Wanderers book is far better than the film though. One of my favourite books ever. Edited February 20, 2017 by tongue_tied_danny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 The Red Hand Gang not a Rangers Supporters Club but a kids tv show from the late 1970s. I only mention this because of the school prank when someone would ask you "Do you want to join the Red Hand Gang?" and unwittingly you'd say "aye" and they'd give you a big slap on your back leaving a red hand imprint... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember when the orange tango advert had people running up to strangers and happy slapping them, the ad got banned as well because there was public disorder because many eardrums were being damaged and was becoming an epidemic problem on the NHS resources? Brilliant advert, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I do remember when the moulded Mitre balls were first introduced, also great for playing basketball when nobody wanted to play kick about. Those moulded mitre things were horrendous! Basically just a spherical weapon with mitre written on it and designed to inflict pain! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieT1314 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Mines had west germany and Argentina so assuming it came out just after the 86 world cup final. Also had the fence and scoreboard but no floodlights. Used to have big subbuteo tournaments in school at the end of term, group stages the lot, it was great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
