Holy shit George, how the fuck do you have Gelli Baff stored in your memory? Just the name alone has unlocked some secret memories I didn't even know I had

My brother had a robosapien when I was younger and I can't remember if it was a sensor or something, but whenever you made a noise, its eyes lit up red and it started to move and dance. I had a bad habit of sleeping in my mums bed instead of my own, so my mum started to put it outside my bedroom door at night. Whenever I tried opening my door the robot would start walking towards me and dancing in the dark, it scared the absolute shit out of me. I am forever scared of robots. Thank you for listening

I remember for the magazines, my parent used to always buy me the first one, because the first one was always 99p, but then they'd refuse to get me any more because the price would jump up to like £3.99 from issue 2. The only one they ever let me subscribe to was the Mr. Bean one, I got up to like issue 250 something with 2 folders, was definitely one of my biggest achievements haha

[@cosmicjenny4508]

Jeeeeez, Gelli Baff? If you look at the old adverts, that stuff STAINED the kids’ skin!! I bet your parents didn’t let you have it because it would stain the bath forever. Also, big up the OG Horrible Histories / Science books!

Most iconic to me was either the should have gone to specksavers ad where a bunch of men in prison are showering in a large shower room, and one drops his soap(cause of the glasses), and everyone turns to look at him while he gulps and the line plays, the shower water cutting off immediately.Remember kids and adults, if you don’t go to specsavers you’ll be raped in prison after dropping the soap. Or: the call the direct landline insurance with the old guy, where a man has broken something and needs insurance to pay, but the guy says Johnny here is going to remove your ballcock and the guy looks at his penis in fear as Johnny holds the spanner menacingly.
