Had to make do with an Atari 800XL, but it did admirably as a stopgap until the Amiga came along.

cant say for def, but the timing of it makes sense and it was definitely black like that. Hopefully when i ask at home they might remember but Im pretty sure thats it, and relase date etc would be right, i was probably about 5 or so and we always got things late so 1986/7 would be around the time id say.

i had a grey one, and i had the second one too, i used to wear the grey dufflecoat in the height of summer, people used to wonder why. I dont know why now, but you know, i wasn't particularly warm when i had it on, and i wasn't particularly cold in summer when i eventually decided to take it off for good in summer.

Yeah, I couldn't find any pics of the older ones.

Speaking of comics, my favorite here...

**dahamsta** · 02/10/2008, 12:23 PM

Buster was my favourite. Mustapha Million and such-and-such. Whizzer and Chips was a close second. Beano and Dandy were for the scruffs. (Although I read them too, what with me being a scruff an' all.)

Pah! We couldn't afford eyes, so I have no idea what you mean by bikes and coats.

**noby** · 06/10/2008, 8:41 AM

The fact that blind people know what bikes and coats are puts a spanner in your whole Monty Python parody.

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

Yes, they weren't available in Ireland and my dad, who was a salesman, used to visit the UK a lot and bring them home as a treat.

Remember the candy cigarettes?

I am now a pale shadow of a Bluebeard Tribute act. I have become the late 1980s David Bowie of foot.ie
