Mate of mine had a Super Goose, he was posh though. I had a BSA Tour De France, best bike I ever had, that got robbed by some c*nts from inside the supermarket in the townie, I wheeled it right in and some twat still robbed it.

Our kid was a loon on his, used to jump off the steps next to Kirkby Baths, garage rooves the lot, those Burners were tough as fuck

nearly fucking drowned in that shithole. First time i went with the school when i was aboot 4 an some dickhead instructor shoved me an i fell in an nearly drown. Tit

Yeah they were boss all them old bikes. Solid like

Babestation Girl 'Ooh hello big boy, what do ya want to do to me?'
Samie 'I was wondering if youve got any news on LFCs hunt for a number 6 and my Ass is called Salas. Would you like to feed my Ass a carrot? '

[Samie]

 

Not at todays Babestation rates mate.  I mean they were cheaper circa 2012. 

[Crosby Nick]

Castle Grayskull. Came with a few of the key figures too: He-Man, Skeletor and of course Mr Ferguson.

[gerrardisgod]

N64, with Mario and Mario Kart, don’t think I moved all day. Or one of the newer Test Match Cricket games, sure it was out around that same year, ‘96ish.

Worst was probably one of those dogshit football gaff videos, would get one every year. EDIT: In fact, scrap that, early 00’s my brother decided I’d want to read a Tim Lovejoy book.

Seeing Astro Wars is a blast from the past! Got that one chrimbo and that was me for the entire hols. I got another Grandstand one another year….the one that had tennis on it. For younger Rawkites, when I say tennis I mean two rectangular blocks that moved up and down on either side of the screen as a square ‘ball’ bounced between them. Calling it tennis was a bit of a stretch!

classic! We had such low expectations. If there hadn’t been a shiny red apple and a satsuma in me sock I’d have been gutted. Luckily there always was.

I reckon Crossfire might’ve been the best one ever. Although I think mum regretted getting it after I fired a couple of those big ball bearings down me gob and the doctor told her I had to shit in a bucket for a week to make sure they came out

[Chakan]

whoever thought these were a good idea must have been mental

Shitting ball bearings

My missus has no idea what its like to get a satsuma in a stocking, too posh for that the spoilt cow

Forgot about crossfire, our kid had that, brilliant game. I used to get train sets, car racing sets or one year I got Super Striker



Race and chase was brill, cars went both ways - its still in the loft in our house in Southport, I'll have to get up there one day and get it out



Twice me and our kid got a TCR set between us, both sets broke Boxing Day and were sent back to Freemans catalogue

[Red_Mist]

[Chakan]

They were huge as well, everyone got in a circle back to back and then someone would throw it up in the air and we'd all scatter and try not to get hit.

I kept them for years. Was fascinated that they’d passed all the way through me! Might still have em in a box somewhere come to think about it!

I got a couple of nice whisky tumblers in the work Secret Santa this year which is pretty good.

In turn, I sent a colleague a set of coffee cups.

[John C]

As a kid I got two particularly boss prezys that stand out.

MAD MARBLES - have you heard the noise this makes when you spin the fucker good n proper.
Me mum wasn't friggin pleased when I opened this abar 3 in the morning.


CROSSFIRE
I loved this. My two cousins were older than me and when they came down on chrimo day we played for hours. The steel ball in a plastic sleeve was shit, it didn't move fast  enough so we swapped it for a marble to make the game dead fast. Fuckin ace.

[Samie]

Just for Capon, my yearly update of Salas is coming tomorrow. 

[rob1966]

Still got this somewhere, its over 40 years old now
