BarHugger Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Don't you just wish they still made them like this......... http://www.theyoyologist.co.za/products/red-devil-yoyos/red-devil-yoyos.jpg Help.Me., DJR, Latent_Blue and 2 others 5
Tumbleweed Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 They still make those Red Devils... At first it was really weird to see things I have posted on social media recently coincidentally appearing here in various guises over the last couple of days. The word for this week has to be: happenstance. Like, wow....

Tumbleweed Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Thanks man, i learnt a new word: Capture1.PNG It's also one half of a comic book duo in the late '80s-early '90s. Kismet & Happenstance... They appeared in the short-lived Crisis comics - an offshoot of 2000AD - which were a bit too heavy for their time, and way too heavy for the government censor who often used to remove my copies from the Grahamstown CNA: Edited December 2, 2015 by Tumbleweed Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
Tumbleweed Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Just before we came out to SA, My brothers and I were allowed to choose a weekly comic... My oldest boet got Roy of the Rovers... ...my older brother Tiger, with Billy's Boots... ...and I got 2000AD: Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
Tumbleweed Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Don't know if you got these over here in the '70s...Santa gave me mine when I was still a lad in Northern Ireland...
Frosty Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 ...and for those who forgot the 'awesome' quality on the transparencies...Up to 2004, the company I was with at the time used an overhead projector to show presentations at monthly management meetings. We used the colour laser copier to print our powerpoint "slides" and then project using the 80's icon. The FD figured it was cheaper than a modern day projector. It's fine when you're presenting static info, but when we did "what if" analysis on data it would be rendered useless. That's when he buckled under pressure to electronic.

Gen Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Cool! Do you remember book exchanges? There's a small one in my suburb called Second Edition, but you don't see them much anymore.We have 3 book exchanges here in our dorpie. We've found some gems there but mostly there are a lot of Mills and Boons[emoji30]
Tumbleweed Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 We have 3 book exchanges here in our dorpie. We've found some gems there but mostly there are a lot of Mills and Boons[emoji30] Hahahaha! Occasionally there'll be a decent find, but people in my neighbourhood, well, their lips move when they read, so there's not a great selection. But it's next to the laundry I use, so no harm in spending a coupla rand. Gen 1
