    Haha yes it did have a ring aerial which kept flopping out of position at a crucial moment of Grange Hill :eek:

    My first job was at a firm of Chartered Accountants and I had to write entries manually into leather bound ledgers, add them up and balance them. Ye gods. And if that wasn't bad enough it was really old fashioned with a hierarchy akin to Upstairs Downstairs :rotfl:


    My mum would :rotfl: if I told her that, no far from it..I think she saved all year for it, and it was probably our only present that Christmas :D
    he he :D

    I got sidetracked - started reading the daily mail online for my celeb big bro catch up (i recorded it last night), It's like Heat magazine but free :rotfl:

    You can only quote 3 at a time doing it this way though - any more and it won't quote the first :)
    One way is to click Quote on the post you want to quote, select all the text in the box, open up a text editor (Word, Notepad, Open Office, Text Edit, whatever) and paste in the text.
    (You can edit down the text if it's only a bit of the message you're replying to, as long as you keep the [QUOTE...] and
    bits at the beginning and end.)
    In the web browser, click the Back button, find the next post you want to quote, and repeat, as many times as you want.
    Just add your own comments in and amongst.
    Click on 'Post Reply', copy the text in the text editor and pasted it into the Reply box.

    Like this, for example….

    Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy:)[/QUOTE]

    My immediate thought was ooooh how long can I make a post and how many quotes can I add! But three is a good number x

    Jelly your post is beyond my capacity. I know we can play with what is inside the quote but a web browsers ... just the word makes me sweat!!

    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    With the memories being shared, I think most people on here are in the 40's!

    Did you have one of those ring ariels that you had to keep moving?

    I remember one of my first jobs was inputting a data programme into a computer.

    Typing 00011010010100101010101 for 8 hours a day! It was horrendous and I was rubbish! I always kept getting the 0 and 1 in the wrong order! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    We had a coat hanger for an Ariel in our caravan ( because it worked better) and when the battery was flat Dad put it on charge by putting it in the car and driving around the block:rotfl:

    We also had a spectrum zx I think it was... Tape loaded computer that had a joy stick connected to a black and white tv.... Very difficult to play snooker on:rotfl:
    Kids today don't know how lucky they are!!!

    Oh and I'm not 40 for a couple more years :rotfl:
