Man, you had to BE there.

Had to be along from Seaton station every Sunday afternoon at 2.15pm.
Always a streak!

Could never understand trainspotters or train set builders. Surely football, Subbuteo and scouring the park and Burn Valley for discarded porn were healthier options?

Be that as it may, you still knew what all that meant dinya.

Subbuteo...



I spent ages trying to get an astroturf pitch fof my lads one Xmas. I eventually succeeded and took it home in its tube and give it to wife to giftwrap.
Come the big day, I looked at the pile of presents but couldn't see it anywhere...I asked her where it was .... she smiled smugly and pointed to a gift wrapped square that looked like a bulky Xmas card and proudly explained she'd used the last of her expensive paper to wrap it in...apparently it was a tight fit but she squeezed it and folded it and got it in.
She couldn't see the problem, but is there anything more useless than a creased astroturf Subbuteo pitch.......?

Too true Mr Snowy. In my youth I had an Astro pitch. The problem was, when you fancied a game of Subbuteo on it, you had to take it out of the tube the day before and lie it flat with a few heavy books on top so it would eventually become flat.
