Did anyone used to have SLIME?

Or those bubble things you'd blow up with a plastic tube?

You can still buy both of those from Dodgy Abdul at my local car booty.

UPDATE: I'm not being racist, that really is his name.

And they used some SLIME as a prop in Destiny of the Daleks.
The purple one with plastic worms in, so that it would look more alien.

My mother threw out our RISK board game as it caused too many arguments.

I liked Risk.

I'm Risk averse.

And the Action Man tank was in Robot. I'm very forgiving of cheap effects, but I remember being annoyed by that back in 1974.

Did anyone ever have Mexican Jumping beans?
Can you still get them nowadays?

I still see them here in Texas, but we're much closer to Mexico than you are.

I remember having some when I was younger, but maybe they don't sell them here anymore, what with them having something alive in there.

Are you going to send them to Karl Pilkington?

If I could find them I would
Just to see his little round face light up.

All bikes in the 70's used to have 3 gears that had a little chain as part of the gear system (Chopper,Commando etc.). The little chain used to break and the bike would always be stuck in third gear.
I had a Commando but swapped it for my sisters Chopper when she came of it and knocked her front tooh out (milk teeth luckily).
