A football .. I went through footballs like nothing on earth so I got new ones each birthday and xmas .. and regularly in between

I did get the occasional chemistry set every so often … they were bloody dangerous so I shouldn’t think they are available today..

A baby doll, all soft and cuddly, I loved that doll and yet I wasn’t at all broody or maternal until after my mid twenties.
My younger sister wouldn’t look at hers and yet craved a baby at 16.:conf:

My brother had a scalextric...the cars would fly off if you went too fast on the corners :laugh: we played for hours with that.

Also subuteo was fun too

I remember losing my mind when I got a Nintendo 64 for Christmas. Didn’t ask for it because I just didn’t think it was possibly but there it was.

Blue see through with two games - Pokémon Stadium and WWF No Mercy. Fantastic.

I think the same year I got an inflatable chair too, I had a blue one and my sister had a pink one. So 90’s. :joker:

Meccano was soooooooo bloody frustratingly fiddly !!


As regards Subbutio being obsessive I just collected the teams .. wasn’t too interested in playing the game ..

We had a Soda Stream but didn't use it much. I remember there was a Irn Bru flavour that was not very nice.

A 12 inch remote controlled Dalek. Must've been in '05 or '06 that my parents bought it for me. I loved it so much, that whenever I wasn't playing with it, I kept it in its box like it was on display in a museum.

Did it have a basket, a bell that rings, and things to make it look good?

I've got a bike with a basket now, a Peugeot that makes me look like Michelle of the Resistance... But as a kid, I'd have died first.
