Subbuteo & Other Nostalgia

Hah! Which spoilsport edited my post to change 'd*pe' to 'interesting substances'? Good grief.

 

I'll never see you in the same light again Steve.

 

It was compulsory in the late '60's - early '70's.

 

Why would you move finger mouse up the order in front of Tasmanian devil.He’s never batted well at 6.

 

And the early '80s

 

I dunno. You'd have to ask Mark Brown - it was his team. Maybe Tas had had a run of bad form.

 

He certainly got his eye back in with that innings.
Pure power batting.
Jos Buttler eat your heart out.

 

Someone grass made a hash of it they must of had a good resin

 

My Uncle Bill had a 1940s/50s precursor to the test match game. The pitch was square, with aluminium edges that slotted in together to stretch the pitch flat. There was a metal chute for bowling and the 'bat' was a metal pendulum swung from a frame, which you operated by pulling a string. You could move the frame from side to side to glance the ball bearing in different directions. You could get wicked spin by pushing down on the side of the ball bearing as you pinged it down the chute.
I inherited it and used to play it with my lad. Unfortunately some of the pieces are now missing. i've no idea how that happened but it's a real shame 'cos it was a cracking game.

 

Yes, he wasn't hanging about, was he? Five sixes and two fours in an innings of 55 is genuine T20 stuff.

 

I must have lived a very sheltered life.

 

My drug of choice in the early 80s was draught tetleys, and thanks to the pub hunt, got hundreds of tee-shirts to prove it.

 

this is great

 

Loving this thread but it's sure to get moved. We've gone from Subbuteo to Carters to Owzat to "interesting substances" to the Tetley pub hunt. For us of a certain age its growing up in Bradford. Keep it up!

 

I drank a fair few pints of that as well.
But the advantage of d*pe, sorry, interesting substances, is that it doesn't give you a hangover. I got properly parpo-ed every night before my final exams - a great way to relax after a hard day revising - and I got a First.

 

Excellent stuff guys. Brings back all good memories from my youth.
Forget facetube and twattering and instergram (that's not the grams you bought back in the day Offcom ).. the kids of today don't know what they're missing.

I dropped in another Eric Hall film in the nostalgia section. Great watch on whippet racing in Bingley back in the day.

Cheers for the memories

 

Dope dope dope dope dope dope.

 

Draught Tetleys now that takes me back loved a pint of "mixed" back in the day
Like you had lots of pub hunt tee shirts no idea what happened to them those days passed in a haze
Great Memories !!!
