Is there one on here? If yes can delete this one. Otherwise.... commence nostalgia buffet:



Watched this movie so many times... so good...

I remember thinking that Jennifer Connelly was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen... she's still the most beautiful.



Of course, now I understand the pure sex appeal of David Bowie as well.

Funny, I had the same realization early this year!

I this thread.

I also like looking back at the past's vision of the future in movies like Back to the Future Part III (1990). Science has taken leaps and bounds in the past 20-25 years, but we're still asking the same questions.

Also, when was the last time you saw a manual typewriter?

My grandfather's typing machine was fun to play with. It was dust on it, and a key was missing, I don't remember which one.

I lived in a big old house, it turned 100 years old a few years back, and it was filled with many small rooms and closets. At the most crowded there used to be 8 families living in the house, but when I grew up there where only three. I knew the other families, one of them being my uncle's, and thus had access to the whole house. Lots of places to hide, and the apartments where so different from each other. The top apartment was in this functionalistic modern style, while one of the apartments in the middle was always so arranged and organized. I don't think they moved a furniture once while they lived there, and it was always clean and neat.

when i visited my hometown in july, i moved my stuff out of storage into my mom's basement.
one of the things i've kept is my 1930s manual typewriter. it's such a carpal tunnel syndrome inducer!

(this is a pic of a fully restored version. mine is not so shiny.)

yay for moomins!

my recent nostalgia kick was going to see Men Without Hats play. they had many more songs than just safety dance. commercially they didn't do so well and people called them men without hits. but they are a cult band for people like me. i love them crazily. here's a song from the Pop Goes The World concept album.

I have actually been looking for a specific picture of a something nostalgic to post to this thread for several days now and have not found it yet, GRRR!

In the meantime, some other things from nostalgiaville:

1) British Rail and its pre-1990s trains. Neither are in existence any more... sigh! These were commonly known as slam-door trains and had no inside door opening mechanism so you had to pull down the window as the train pulled into the station and reach your hand out through it to open the outside door handle. I miss these lovely old trains.



2) Next up: the Ford Capri. In the 70s (as a child) I thought this was the best car EVER and really wished that my dad was cool enough to have one (the fact that it was too small for our family of four children was something that passed me by).


3) The Raleigh Chopper. Words are insufficient to explain how much I wanted one of these.


This is a good thread

Love all these... that bike actually looks pretty awesome. I would be scared to use a type writer because backspace is probably my most used key. When I was little I probably watched Labyrinth at least a thousand million times. Sciski how could you not understand David Bowie was teh sex on very first viewing? How??? Okay, nostalgia train keep on chugging.

You are jogging my memory now Misspent Youth! We had THIS:



Pong

This picture makes me feel nostalgic!!!

These make me feel nostalgic! My first pair were like this:

Rollerskates!!

Mine were Fisher Price plastic skates that made a ringing sound whenever the wheels were spinning. We never mastered the art of skating though.
