Piles of porno mags not very well hidden in the woods somewhere. Who used  to put them there? Probably some perv spying on us. 

Also p[laying on The Wreck...and abandoned unsecured building seemed to be everywhere. 



 

I remember as kids we stumbled across an extensive porn collection when retrieving a football from some overgrown bushes in the park.

We came back the next day to have another look and there was a bloke in there with his trousers round his ankles.

He reckoned he was having a shit but I think that was the shock at being rumbled having a wank.
 














 

Betting their were some overgrown bushes in the mags as well.

Subbuteo/table football - life better and simpler back then. 

I had Super Striker with the diving goalies. I remember painting the red team a very shaky claret and blue. One goalie had a broken arm. 

It's no wonder I can't remember anything now as my head is full of all this inconsequential junk!
