Anyone see this on the news...Some mush getting knocked down outside St Pancras, live on the news earlier

My favorite advert of all time... just shows how much Britain has changed over the years, Part of Winston Churchill's speech played through from WW2 to the spitfires flying over.

Great British Railway Journeys will be on Tyneside tonight, as part of the new series.

Portillo uses his Bradshaws guide as usual and ends up operating the Swing Bridge.

Wonder if we see any Supergran re-enactments?

My favourite programme at the minuet is Bring back Borstal

watching Benidorm tonight with mam and little brother. Very appropriate viewings for a nine year old lol

A favourite show for most of my friends at school.

Won't be the same without the Garveys, and I don't like that Sheepf***er from Wales they've got in to replace Kenny Ireland - Donald and Jacqueline were close personal friends of mine.

MarcTheA4 - aye, only started watching it when my mam couldn't be bothered to go to bed, think it was the time where Mr Buck A Roo sent a letter to that old tanned woman then me and my brother have been watching it ever since. Got series 1-6 on order lol

I've been watching it since it started. Highlight of the Friday night, even for posh people! I was about 7 or 8.

Those were the days. You can find most of them easily on YouTube...

'That old tanned woman'...do you mean Madge?

Filmed on the Byker Wall if I remember correctly.

Our school was fortunate enough to purchase one BBC computer to share amongst the entire school.
The excitement generated when the school managed to get hold of the Geordie Racer computer game, was tremendous...

BBC Computers, theres a memory, my primary school had one as well, played Geordie Racer a couple of times and another game where the aim was to get up Mount Everest in one piece...

When I moved to Chorister School, they had the Acorn Archimedes computers, they succeeded the BBC Computer and I spent many a hour playing Man Utd in Europe ...

By the time I was back in Comprehensive, they got there first PC's and Internet in 1997, where I spent god knows how many hours learning to play Champ Manager 97/98

When the teacher whapped out his 5 1/4" floppy, you knew there was gonna be a fun afternoon ahead - on the BBC!

Whey aye, the computers took 5 1/4" floppy disks. Things changed over the years and by the time Fozz got his PC's at Comp, he was happy with a 3 1/2 incher.

Oh aye, the 5 1/4" floppy, that got as much of a laugh at Easington when Albert the library man whipped out his 3.5" floppy

We'll never see days the likes of that again

JK.

Have a look in the nostalgia thread. AdamY (can never remember his new name) was mentioning it and put a pic up of a 3 1/2 incher.

These are genuine comments/posts. The disks were floppy and came in two sizes.

Eventually, they became obsolete, with the advent of CD's, memory sticks etc.

Haha I know I'm just messing around (as per usual!) .

I reckon if I saw one of those in present day I'd spend about 5 minutes trying to work out if it was a SIM card!!

I thought I was the dogs danglies when I got my first 3.5" disc, 1.4mb it was and can remember my childrens home getting a PC, it had a 20GB hard drive and we were told we would never fill it full, well, it is obvious what happened, within 9 months it was full of crap close to capacity
