Great stuff ;D I once nearly brained myself when having a go on me sister' Space Hopper. Bounced off it and whacked me head on the kerb. No lasting damage, but I could have been killed, the doctor reckoned Me ma had a twin tub. We were considered posh for having one, even though it was second hand and used to billow smoke from time to time with a really heavy load I can (vaguely) remember a time in the 70s when Trimphones were considered the very height of chic. Sadly we only ever had a traditional dial phone, though. John Peel was something of an expert on the Jew's Harp, apparently, and appeared uncredited on numerous records playing it. I would certainly like to see some edible nostalgia added. Cabana bars, Texans, sweet tobacco, Bazooka Joe bubble gum and the like

If I recall they had sweets, a plastic toy, trading cards etc. Aha! And whilst we're at it - Christmas Crackers!!! Great stuff Funk ye've inspired me - belter! N.

What about pacman or space invaders? Or is that too modern?

Probably... I may do a 'Space Invaders' one though, because the old arcade machine does go back a few years... mind you, so does Pacman. Hmm... got me thinking now. N.

What about pacman or space invaders? Or is that too modern? Not at all - consider it done - SPACE INVADERS has been added! Ta for that. N. P.S. You may have also noticed a modification - "Snow" has gone from the gallery above and been replaced by "The Sledge" - I wasn't too keen on the 'cartoon' element... here's the card... you'll see what I mean:

Massive thanks to sirstanleylaurel who has kindly done me a set of these cards! I'll be putting them to practical use as soon as is possible to see if they do have 'therapeutic value'. What can I say - a decent fellow and VERY much appreciated! My best wishes Sir S. - I owe ye a favour - let me know, I always remember the folk that help me. Regards! N.

You don't owe me ANY favours! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be in possession of a set of L&H cards - reward enough, sez I! Roger
