Dananiel · Tue Mar 07, 2006 9:12 pm Want my David Burrow's swapsies?

Ere you go Bonce, we can immortalise our nostalgic primary days here.

I'll get the ball rolling, saw dust on sick during assembly. Premier League 95.

(I know, you'll contribute later)

This is a selfish thread between us, but you've cheered me up no end earlier. I'm already bidding on a deleted Big Breakfast video!

sorry about that dan, our soul spilling got interrupted by fucking msn ponces.
heres my reminiscipackage:

Dinosaurs partwork, complete with Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton and paintable skin. Contrary to the modern belief that the T-rex was the graham norton of its day, id like to see the so called experts go face to face with one, alright?

Beano, specifically Roger the Dodger, and Les Pretend. And Ballboy, he was good. Spiffy and Plug.

Dananiel · Tue Mar 07, 2006 9:36 pm

You had to bring up Beano, it's a croc of shit, just drop it!

The last day before christmas at school. Now that's magical. Yeah?

A personal highlight of mine was finally getting the wimbledon kit shiny, and hence completing the book. A great time in my life, and the fuck off pile of swapsies i had, as dan states, full of David Burrows and Neil ardleys, and none whatsover of Cantona, schmeichael or Man Utd badge shiny, helped me go to sleep at night. The wad of cash i made from selling these beauties meant my book paid for itself. Fuck communism, when you're 9, Branson's your role model, not bloody (insert famous communist here)

Turtlebonce · Tue Mar 07, 2006 9:39 pm

fuck off, beano was great. I was a wholesome kid, you were just a petty panda pop poncer! you and bloody Tom thumb, your former best mate turned smackhead!

Good luck to him, he made everyone else think I was cool.

Here's another Match or Shoot!-esque caption for you-

[picture of Dion Dublin tying up his shoe laces]

"I've forgotten how to tie up my shoelaces!" -I swear to god, the editor at Match didn't even grasp the concept of jokes.

Yeah, I never completed PM95 but almost completed PM96. It was always fun to flip through the book of a rich kid who just went to one of the dates on the tour and bought every sticker he needed. I always thought those tours was stupid, it's much better to just buy loads of packets and only get two you need and add a further 50 David Burrows to your swapsies deck.

Of course, that doesn't show how glossy and shiney it was against the light.

Fuck me! I've still that very annual somewhere. They were all the rage back in the mid-nineties. Nothing more satisfying than opening a fresh packet of stickers.. (then).

I never completed it. Used to annoy me when they'd accidently put the same player in a packet.

Turtlebonce · Tue Mar 07, 2006 10:47 pm

it wasnt an accident you fool, they did it on purpose!

Not really Lanky, im gonna photo my 95 book when i go home, and also, for dan, my dinosaurs model and dinosaurs partworks as well. The human body one was good as well, dunno if ive still got them.

Alan Shearer, from Match

" I'm not boring, honest!"

thats literally the only thing they ever wrote about him

Turtlebonce · Tue Mar 07, 2006 10:55 pm

i remember the first four four two i ever read, in the barbers, with terry venables on the front and i never thought i could go back to match or shoot after that, but i did.

MatchMan describing a photoshoot for the xmas edition of match with andy cole:

"heres me and my best mate andy cole out in the snow. he's very cold!"

Dananiel · Tue Mar 07, 2006 11:03 pm

I'm going to ask my mum if she kept my Dinosaurs collection but I think she probably threw it out, which is a shame. I'd like to see a picture of yours, though.

LankyGoggleEyedFreak · Tue Mar 07, 2006 11:11 pm

I've still got my acryllic model dinosaurs somewhere. I used to chew the tails though :?

Turtlebonce · Tue Mar 07, 2006 11:28 pm

that explains everything

Dananiel · Tue Mar 07, 2006 11:40 pm

Shit, do you remember these Pogs?

I used to have absolutely loads of Pogs and I'm not sure why, I didn't play the game. I suppose I always enjoy just collecting stuff.

And a long shot- does anybody remember those Zig & Zag Golden Wonder crisps? I used to have them every day and you would win prizes like a piece of string or a box of ties. Nobody seems to remember them but I certainly didn't imagine them. That and the super mario ice cream.
