It could probably get quite interesting at drunken adult parties right enough 😁 Though not as interesting as this ...🙄 1 hour ago, Tiny Tim said: Interesting toy 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviebee Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Striker was brilliant. One of my blue players had an extra strong spring or something. You pressed its head down and the ball went into the net like a fkin bullet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved it. Only problem with it was the ball was the same size as the players which I couldn’t get on with. So I used the wee ball from Striker which made it a different game altogether. Brilliant.

Brilliant. am sure a whole bunch of guys from 70s who can recite the subbuteo kit chart / before they changed the 'hunched over' player style leeds utd / colo colo (brz) and go ahead eagles etc ; the all red kit was dons/liverpool/brechin/scunthorpe? i think my younger brother was unfortunate enough to have the rugby version - only 4 colours ie ireland/south africa ; there was a large soap on a rope type contraption that acted as the scrum - think there was kickers too? didnt know anyone who had the cricket though..... used to love all the airfix / hornby stuff too - scalextric always seemed out of range - altho we did get a knock off version one christmas that was really gash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fair bit of my pocket money went on them. I remember the cheap racing car sets (the figure 8 ones) I had a few but my auld dears budget could never stretch to a real scalextric.

Dont expect any nostalgic happiness on MY thread. Talking of which, does anyone remember laughing bags ? My uncle brought one back from Spain for me as a present when I was about 8 or 9. I was hoping for a Spanish doll and got a fookin laughing bag. It was actually quite scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never allowed to play Buckaroo, Operation or Ker Plunk as a kid as my Mum worked permanent night shift for a spell and they were deemed to be "too fucking noisy". As such they've always held a mystical appeal for me! *And Hungry Hippos. Edited March 3, 2020 by Fairbairn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
