Not sure if you can still buy these but my last experience of a stink bomb was 2007. Away to Bristol City about 20 of us on a stag do for the weekend.

 

The best man organised matchday hospitality for us all at Ashton Gate and we had two tables for the pre match meal.

 

One of the lads let off a number of stink bombs in quick succesion which gassed out the whole room.

 

Very immature but funny as fvck and pretty obvious we were the guilty party all sat around pissing ourselves laughing while the Bristol City fans looked at us in disgust

Floppy discs.

Mrs. FFF is sorting through a box of her uni work from way back and at the bottom she found one.

The storage capacity is a massive 1.44Mb.

Now you can get many, many gigabytes on something smaller than a grain of rice.

Do they even still work though? Most people don't have a floppy drive nowadays to test them. 

 

Floppy discs always remind me of my Amiga gaming days.

My first computer was an Amiga 500. 

 

Those were the days.

Mine too. I then had a Amiga 1200 which had a 80mb hdd.

A friend said I had wasted my money. '80mb drive, you would never use it all' He said.

A couple of classics.

80Mb was luxury compared to my ZX Spectrum with its 128k! 

 

Not to mention the Vic20 I had before that, which had games which ran off cartridges.

A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game came bundled with our Amiga, I recall the manual for the game was quite ridiculous.

Every single time one of the games characters was referred to - which was often, there would be bracketed copyright notice next to it. Something like, (Copyright Universal Studios 1998. All rights reserved ect).

Wouldn't be surprised if didn't make the manual 50% thicker than it needed to be.

I used to love the TMNT game on NES. It was really hard to complete though. No instant saves, you had to start levels all over again! 

 

Same with Super Ghouls & Ghosts on SNES which I never completed.
