That box is full of someone's cherished memories. Can't help thinking that someone was burgled . . .

Cycling along, as I do, and spotted this box, upon further investigation,...........................

Didn't look to be anything of any value, but called 101 just in case. and 20 minutes later, PC came out , and said very interested in it at the moment, as they are '' actively persueing enquires, relevant to related incidents in the locality '' I didn't hang around after he turned up, as I'd chilled off a tad too much by then, and was cold.

Some scrote(s) have burgled a house and grabbed the jewellery box. They have snaffled what looks sellable and ditched the rest out of the getaway car window. regular occurrence.

I found one of these laying in the middle of the road blinking at me this morning.

yes, but don't you think its a bit strange, that in 2015, (ok prob 2014) , toy makers are still making 'cowboy guns' the style of which is now over 150 years old, and that children readily associate with them, despite a distinct lack of 'western 'movies nowdays, rather than say an OOzzee 9mm,

Men of a certain age reading comics as kids. Its a reference to a character in a comic. Alf Tupper had his fish and chips, others had cricket bats.

Blodwyn Pig · « **Reply #188 on:** 07 February, 2015, 11:03:35 pm »

Ah!... er... what ''certain age'' might that be then. Just curious. coz I'm obviously not of that ''certain age' which may or may not be a good thing.

It must have fallen out of some little kiddies lunch box or pocket.

It was indeed VERRY YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found a ~~kitchen~~ bathroom sink. I did consider strapping it to the back of the Brompton for a "fully loaded touring bikes" photo, but it was a lane with a freshly-dredged ditch on either side and there wasn't anything convenient to lean the bike against while I did it.

must be the week for finding GRUB. this was yesterday, and has remained , un opened, and resides in my saddle bag as 'emergency fodder'

super Hitachi 'dolby' surround sound, cycling audio system. Hmmm. those were the days, probably much better than an Amstrad. Bet it once had a smoked glass door as well.

I say Mr Trebus... will that Hi fi Run from your dyno hub?

Blodwyn Pig · « **Reply #196 on:** 12 February, 2015, 03:54:05 pm »

Ah, possibly, except to 2 very important factors,

A) I have no records or cassette tapes to hand, and fm signal might be a bit crap 'on the move'

B) I don't have a dyno hub on this bike.

Also balancing it on the handlebars might cause a bit of a wobble.

Oh man; I would have given my eye teeth for one of these as a teenager. If you promise it will bring back my youth (but without the spots and anxiety and impecuniousness and exams and bullying), I'll be there in a thrice*

(*It's using words like 'thrice' that probably led to most of the bullying, now I think about it).

Too bloody right. It should have been 'trice'. Trice. TRICE.

Say it. Come on. SAY IT. TRICE.
