I have its in the loft, although I don't think it still works

I can remember it took ages to punch in the co-ordinates of your ships and when you eventually got it right there was the satisfying whoop whoop sound

Used to take ages, but felt well posh cos most of my mates had the non-computerised version

Always wanted an air rifle or BB gun, but mom said I'll shoot my eye out.

Now 47, Mom is 75, and I bought myself one for Christmas.

Spent the afternoon last Saturday in the snow wreaking most satisfactory havoc among the empty beer cans in the back yard.

Some things are better if you wait.

I befriended the spoilt brat down down the road who had everything, while I had f*** all.

He's back living at home now at the age of 43!

There's a lesson there parents.
