Whatever happened to.....?

[Desert Shrimper]

The football chant "here we go"
Those silver sweets that looked and tasted like ball bearings
White dog ****. (It's been asked before but I've yet to get a satisfactory answer.)

Anyone else lost something?

White dog **** - dog food used to be bulked up with ground up animal bones and had literally zero nutritional value, therefore the poo would be white.

What ever happened to Timothy Claypole? I'm in a Rentaghost kind of mood today......

Cheers MK, that makes sense on the white dog **** front. It was part of our childhoods.....

Timothy Claypole died of AIDS soon after the last series of Rentaghost.

My mate Dom's girlfriend's mum worked in the BBC costume department in the '70s and she made some of the Rentaghost outfits. Apparently, she has the pantomime horse costume at home - Dom's a singer and is planning a photo shoot with him wearing the bottom half!

Space Raiders being 10p.

Also the football chant - "Your going home in a TBA ambulance".

 

[Vange Shrimper]

Space Raiders being 10p.

They are still 10p in Basildon.

Maybe if you go to a shop up in Manchester, they might be 5p :D

That reminds me: Strawberry crisps... I don't want them back, they were rank!

Timmy Mallett

Timmy Mallett still does student gigs around the country, playing Mallet's Mallet with ****ed up kids who probably have no idea who he is, wondering what the hell went wrong. He had a number 1 hit you know.

When was the last time anyone heard "come join us over here"?? Used to be commonplace in the North Bank, usually sung by spotty youths who would have legged it at the first sight of the away fans actually choosing to wander over of course...

You can occasionally still hear this one being sung by West Stand blocks V/W/X when our opposition have aggressive fans.
Still sung by these same spotty youths though! :p

Blast from the past there.

I'm quite interested in what happened to Cadbury's Spira. I quite liked them, although effectively it was just a different was of packaging Dairy Milk.
