For the more mature amongst us, we all have nostalgic memories of things that were simply splendid, must haves, or essential experiences years ago.

Having a car made you cool, if you had a walkman you were it in school and Blake's 7 was ace.

Looking back it was all a bit naff

What was cool years ago to you and now you realise was a bit.....shite?

Imagine two footballs, one on top of the other with a flat plastic ring between them to stand on. You gripped the top ball with your feet and bounced around the playground!

I think for me it jumped the shark when it turned out that the rain man guy was lying about there being a cure and the big ginge battered him for it. I thought this is just gonna go round and round so we sacked it off.
