BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I was a student in 69 and watched very little TV. There was a small one in the union bar. Magic Roundabout used to be on in the early evening sometimes and we enjoyed a good laugh at that but perhaps what we were laughing at was not what was intended! There is a gap in my TV watching from 68 to 75. This was during student days and then, when we were first married, we did not have a TV. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBI 2,351 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Last few posts remind me of an incident in Suffolk, not long after we were married. I was managing a tv shop on Stowmarket High St at the time. To start off with, we stayed in the flat above the shop. One Saturday night/Sunday morning in winter I was awoken by crash from the street. Our bedroom opened on to a balcony that overlooked the street and I ran out to see what it was. Street was deserted, someone had decided to kick the shop window in, glass everywhere. No sleep for the remainder of the night as emergency repairers were called and all the mess cleared. In bed the following Saturday night, the last thing the missus said was ' remember last week, what a palaver '. There was then another almighty crash. I was out bed and on the balcony in a flash. The window had been done again. The street was dark and deserted but there was a dusting of snow and some footprints could be made out. Further up the road a figure was tottering away. I'm having him I thought. I straddled the balcony, dropped down to the ground and legged it after him. As I caught him up and jumped on him, I realised he was pissed. I then realised how big he was. I was in a rage and shouting when fortunately a police car suddenly appeared. The two coppers jumped out and before I knew it, they'd got hold of me and were trying to get me in an arm-lock and shove me in the car. I'm shouting, the drunk is cowering in a doorway. Summat's wrong, I thought. Then I shivered and realised I'd moved so fast, I didn't have a stitch on! Turned out ok though, one of the coppers recognised me. Then he recognised the other feller. Turns out he was the town psycho, recently released from HMP Norwich for GBH. The things that 'appen. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mgread1200 141 Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Star Trek began around 1966, watching the original series on cbs now seems very dated compared to the special effects we get nowadays Quote Link to post Share on other sites
