Brentford nylon, fitted bedsheets in bright shades of purple and orange


Those shoes for men with the very round duck style front, with the classy slither of brass at the tip.

Very weird. I don't remember it that well, but it was a cookery show hosted by a vicar.

That reminds me, when I went out for a meal with a group of friends a few weeks ago our waitress bore a startling resemblance to Mrs Overall.  As the word spread around our table, everyone gradually got the giggles each time the poor woman staggered over to us.  She dropped several things and spoke just like her too!

Title: Things from the 70s .......
Post by: oldspice on February 01, 2006, 06:15:52 pm

 Was she a plant?


 


Until recently, there were nine women and one man in our office. We usually go out to dinner once a term and one year we went to a new restaurant and our one and only man sat at the head of the table. Now we are all around the 40 - 50 mark and the waitress asked us if we were a family group.


"Yes" I told her "We are Mormons, and we are all his wives".


We nearly got thrown out!

No more Smash Hits magazine
Title: Things from the 70s .......
Post by: smurfboy on February 02, 2006, 01:38:21 pm

I know, I heard that...


I was always more of a 'Number One' reader, but I did used to get Smash Hits occasionally, and then all the time when they asked Number One. It's a slice of my childhood. Do you remember Black Type, Cherry?

Title: Things from the 70s .......
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on February 02, 2006, 01:54:34 pm

Yes Smurfy, Black Type was the letters page where everyone signed their letters with names like 'Morton Harket's Bottom' or 'Neil Tennant's Chest Wig'.


I liked Number One as well but Smash Hits was around before (and after) that. I also used to read Just 17 but that was more of a girls magazine so I doubt you read that.

Big always used to have about a zillion posters per issue. I remember them having one of Steve McDonald from Corrie when he was about 15!

I typed Dieter Brummer in the google search and I found a good Home & Away page. Brought back some memories

Title: Things from the 70s .......
Post by: Cherry_Ripe on February 03, 2006, 12:03:59 pm

Poor Shane got knocked down and survived then died from a related infection. Horrible 'cause you thought he was going to live happily after with Angel and then he died. And I seem to remember Angel was pregnant then too.

She might well have been.

On the web site I found there is pics of Pippa, Sophie, Blake, Selina, Finn.

She was on there as well! Go to google and type dieter brummer. and click on the first link.

Didn't Bobby die in a boating accident? And her half-brother died on the beach from a brain disease.


A dangerous place to ive it seems.

Title: Things from the 70s .......
Post by: smurfboy on February 03, 2006, 02:46:08 pm

Bobby died in a boating accident, but her ghost later appeared through Ailsa's fridge!


As well as her half-brother dying of a brain disease, her other half-brother (born after she died) died before he was one. The only Fisher sibling who survived was Rebecca - and in real life one of the actresses who played her got breat cancer, and another one committed suicide! A curse theory is forming in my mind...

Good grief, I'm glad I stopped watching soap operas, these plots are so ridiculous!

That was one of the more sensible moments Cherry! Does anyone remember Sally turning out to be the reincarnation of the dead daughter of a caravan park guest?
Title: Things from the 70s .......

I don't think I was watching it when that happened!

Poor Fisher! I don't like to amit this but I think I could have quite fancied him. Handsome in a rugged way and curiously aloof, with more than a decent amount of intelligence. A sexy combination!
