Okay gang I am bored and when I am bored I like to reminisce about the great 80's toys and tv shows that filled my childhood with wonder (Some times I just bash one off instead).

Toys:

I remember there was one with "Anyone for tennis?" too:


My brother and sister and I used to put our fingers over each white dot just before it changed to black... it looked like we had changed it...amazing! We didn't have a micro computer or video games system so we had to make our own electronic interactive fun. Perhaps we should have patented some sort of "press telly screen" technology back then.

Brings back memories of trying to show off to Sheila's on my redmax.

Here is a classic Kiwi one, Good night Kiwi;



Back in the day when TV went off air at the silly hours. I don't get the Kia Ora drink thingy, there are no crows in NZ. THat's just odd.
