But my dad told me it was a waste of money and it would be cheaper to get ice out of the freezer and put syrup on it.
Fair
kids don’t know they’re born these days, with their pornhubs and their onlyfans and their snapchats. all we had was the latest littlewoods catalogue and we turned out fine
Spiderman films came out in 2002 and 2004 so I’d be surprised if in 2002 there were no costumes being sold

Never knew anyone who had one, not even the spoilt kids. Think that just made everyone want it even more

Fathers for Justice started up in 2001 though so maybe 1997-2000.

Genuinely despondent about this. Probably wasted at least one year of my life going through Argos catalogues. One of my fave pastimes. RIP u will live forever, i wanna run to u @.

use to absolutely love going through the argos catalogue in the lead up to christmas with my siblings. ah the youth of today will never know that pure innocent joy.

As long as you can still bash in a random number on those little blue machines in the shops and see what you get (usually something like 10 replacement bags for a Henry hoover or similar).
I did get the fabled dairy milk dispenser for Xmas one year, this one I think:
IIRC, my parents then refused to get any refills for it so it was rendered useless very quickly.

Used to work in Argos
Some of the olds that had worked there years claimed they knew the catalogue off by heart. Lying bastards.

Remember when you had the Argos catalogue AND the Index catalogue to go through. Halycon days, truly.

Wish I’d known about this earlier. Could have spent my furlough playing the Argos raffle game, winning imaginary patio sets and 80s hi-fis
