Sharston is a leafy suburb in South Manchester

Adidas Forest Hills the best imo ;)

That reminds me of the home made (knitted) bat man outfit I got from my m&d one Christmas. I had pleaded for one because all my chums had real ones. Talk about mortified, particularly when it rained, the top half stretched to below my knees. The hurt is still etched in my psyche. I am going back to bed for a quick sob. ;-)

Initially I had visions of the Canadain wilderness in the autumn. Then reality hit....

Sat here watching Ski Sunday, I remember watching this when I was a kid after having a bath on Sunday night. It was the old, classic theme music though and it was David Vine presenting.

Brings back nice memories of childhood.

I can remember playing football on the roof at primary school ( 3 or 4 storeys up ) and if the ball went over the wall u had to go down and then up 8 flights of stairs to get it back.

Also used to go to the fire station and join in when the firefighters were playing volleyball in the courtyard, they used to live around and over the fire station.

Steve Podborski and Ingemar Stenmark. Never skied in my life, but those fuckers will always stick in my mind.

My grandma used to live off Grey Mare Lane. We used to get on a bus to Stamford Park. Always remember there being a really high slide. Happy days indeed. Life was so less complicated in those days. Good times, where have they gone!

Haha!
I can picture the scenario.
"What you knitting Mother ? "
"Im knitting you some swimming trunks luv" She replies with a smile.

You immediately realise that shes serious and not buying you any and your going to look an absolute dipshit with these knitted ones on.
A queasy vomit enhanced feeling ensues...your brain races, with thoughts of how much piss will be ripped out of you by the evil bastards in your class. Hahaha

It’s alright Sharston. There’s a tyre shop, a Greggs, a Subway, a Spar, some petrol pumps and car washes all on one forecourt. And the Aldi is mahoosive!
