geek salad with twin peaks of cream

S'funny what fascinates your grey cells when your'e younger. I was always interested in anything slightly off-kilter.

When I discovered that rubbing your finger round a glass produced a high pitched sound I couldn't get enough! I was ringing those glasses till it hurts at parties in the Seventies, usually driving fellow party goers crazy! Did you ring glasses?

Omni magazine was always a great source of unusual stuff back in the Seventies. I always had a few fun facts ready at parties. probably why no one spoke to me! ha ha. I recall clearly an article about a seed growing inside someone's eye! There was even a picture. I think it may have been a beansprout. Yuk. Did you read Omni?

Twin Peaks is coming back on TV. It looks like a remake. I remember watching the initial series on TV when it came to the UK. I liked the coffee drinking detective but don't recall much more. I did have a couple of Twin peaks games on my toy stall in the late Nineties. I think it was Paul Laymond Games or something like that. I never thought Twin Peaks was for kids so a game seemed odd to me. Will you be Twin Peaking again?

Anorak is a word I don't hear much anymore. Like the older word Trainspotter, Its traditional habitat of describing someone who knows a lot about something, usually with a negative tone, seems to have been taken by the more modern words nerd and geek. Have you similar words in your neck of the woods?

The leg pads on the spacesuits worn by the crew of A  L  I  E  N  as they explored the derelict look a lot like cricket shin pads! Anyone know what I mean?

I read recently that 2000 AD was bought by a British company called rebellion, a computer gaming outfit. Apparently the CEO of the company loved the comic so much he wanted to own it! Is it still going?

I remember clearly hanging model planes by a thread from the ceiling when I was a wee boy. How I attached them is another matter. I did have bunk beds for a while, sharing with one of my brothers. Maybe I climbed up there. But what was the attachment? Drawing pins? What was your ceiling experience?

A milkman used to deliver milk to our door in the Sixties and Seventies. Milk and orange juice in was delivered in glass bottles on the doorstep. Different coloured foil tops denoted different levels of cream in the milk. I think a gold top was full cream but not sure anymore what red was. Half? We had a problem with small birds pecking through the tops and drinking the cream. I think they were tits. Did you have similar problems? Not sure I could drink full-cream milk anymore! You?
