    Retro Comebacks.......

    So.........Wispa bars are back, Raleigh Choppers are back, lava lamps are back and bubble cars are back to mention a few.

    You can't really count fashion, as that's an everchanging circle....

    ......but what's not shown it's face yet that is due a comeback?

    Woolly Mammoth's if last night's news was anything to go by!

    I did not realise they had ever gone away

    What about the return of the stylaphone, used to be advertised by Rolf Harris, so they could bring him back at the same time

    Well, if the MSX games computer makes a comeback I have just dragged three of them out of the loft along with a printer, books, manuals and about 50 games. I will be lucky if they make 20 quid at auction. Penguin Adventure, anyone?

    Hmm, Jivejunkie has got some sort of 'joystick' that he is defiantly hanging onto (insert your own gag here).....

    not sure what it's off but I suspect it needs a starter handle to get it going

    Trust me to find something that is actually coming back, but I won’t be rushing out to buy one.

    So I’m going to have change allegiances to the Sinclair C5
