Nostalgia, eh? I remember when Bluebeard's retorts were funny.

Nostalgia, eh? I remember a time when Noby was funny(and didnt suffer pms), oh wait this isn't the jokes thread

(a) I was never funny. That's your mind playing tricks on you.
(b) Private messages don't cause me any suffering.

Someone has to keep Bluebeard in line - we don't want to see his standards slip.
He could soon be the Tin Machine of foot.ie.

Time will crawl if I keep reading stuff like that

This kind of stuff might be the fashion, but there'd better be changes around here, or you'll all be under pressure. This is not America, you know!

Is that cat smoking 8 ciggies at once?

Yeah, that cat was famous in the 80's.

"Smokie" made a few cameo appearances on "That's Life" with Esther Ranson. He used to smoke up to 10 ciggies in one go and could spell "Anti-disestablishmentarianism" with the smoke that he exhaled.

He was the cat communities response to the dog that said "Sausages".

The instant fame didn't last as he was soon usurped in the publics affections by a break-dancing chimp.

Sadly, in later years he has acquired a crippling booze and foot.ie addiction. He posts quite frequently, apparently, but has cunningly changed his name to avoid recognition.

A pretty nifty piece of 80's retro gear if a little impractical for time trials down the hilly field at the back of our house.

I had one of those too!
