Assuming you find it tricky to strain your eyes, very gently pull the sides of both your eyes like you're ICTJohnboy doing an impression of a China man. This should you give you double vision. For example... Doing that sort of thing, try and get two baseball players (horizontal to one another) of the same style below to overlap. In doing so, hopefully you should see two baseball players magically appear like Predator. One thinks he's superman and the other looks like he's having a s***e.

The old man would buy 2nd hand cars that would last about 18 months. In the mid 80s we had a Y reg Skoda Estelle. The boot was in the front and the engine in the back. It was also a strange brick red colour. At least it had 4 wheels. My mate's dad had a three wheeler! Still have that Archers ad stuck in my head. For a Yugo go to Archers, Archers, Archers, Archers.

BFTD Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I only ever managed to see one of those Magic Eye things, and I've still no idea what I did differently for it to work for me. Deeply unimpressive anyway. People used to make it sound like you were seeing some amazing 3D picture, and all you got was a basic outline of something, like a schooner sailboat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a second hand buy, stashed at the back of the garage under a sheet until Christmas Day when my old boy (a larger boned individual) brained himself by trying to pop a wheelie and flipping straight off its back. A couple of years later once I had moved on it went to an aution in the local village hall where it made the grand price of £7. My mum then turned to my dad and proudly exclaimed 'Ooh, that's good, that's more than we paid for it!'. Tight bassas, my parents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I then moved on to one of these. Well before the advent of mountain bikes, cool as f**k. No mudguards, cowhorn handlebars, balloon tyres, the lot. You could do some speed on it, even with only the Sturmey Archer 3 speed. I think the gearing was meant for 20" wheels, this bad boy had 26"s. Anyway, it met its end as I was cycling home pished, c.1988. In those days the Council turned the streetlights off at night. Someone had left their front door porch light on and my attention was drawn like a moth to a flame. At that point was doing about 25mph when the bike hit the boot end of the unseen parked VW Polo. Front forks crumpled, perfect bike shaped dent in the Polo bumper, I landed on the bonnet and I can only assume I got a nasty knock to the head as I cannot remember leaving my insurance details before fleeing the scene... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
