United Thread - 2021/22

I liked bazooka chewing gum because of the transfer you got with it even though they were invariably crap and never worked very well.

You could save the wrappers and send off for a pair of X-ray glasses. I never had enough but used to wonder how they worked.

From what I’ve seen they were a pair of glasses with the words “X-Ray Vision” written on them and a swirly pattern on each lens. The “walkie-talkies” were two cans connected by a string. How they never got sued is remarkable.

My X-Ray glasses worked.
I see dead people.

Don't remember that. Clearly your memory is better than mine.

I can safely say that this was shit:

Lawyers didn't even try for shite like that back then. Caveot empore was the órder of the day.

Sorry, thought this was the United thread not some old farts reminiscing about the 1970's.

My bad . . .

Last few pages have been an enjoyable tribute act to one of our songs...."Just like united, you live in the past" with a mat impersonation of a confused baconface popping into the wrong place bewildered.

Your own hoop and stick, your mum and dad must of been made of money.

Obviously not in scouse land - their hoops would have been made of rubber - legally taken from any motor vehicle parked on the streets. Minis were the hoop of choice for toddlers whereas it would have been truck or bus tyres for the ancients.
