Things no-one has thought about for ages

Ha! Another Cardiff survivor. Cathay’s was blessed with fucking horrendous student pubs wasn’t it? Woodville, Social, Gassy Jacks and The End in my day. All shite. We stuck to the Crwys - it still had skittles back then.

I do think about the marble arch mound a lot. Such a beautiful thing that was taken from us all

Tamagotchis

Inevitably, they’re back and one of this year’s big Christmas toys. As well as the original ones, there are branded ones (Jurassic Park etc) and super high end ones:

My daughter circled something in the Argos catalogue that was like a tamagotchi in a box? A blizee or something? Never felt so old.

Was a toss up between putting it in this thread or the movies that don’t exist one - but iirc this was marketed pretty heavily to my demographic (7 year old boys) in the popular lads mags (yer Matches, yer Beanos, get your minds out of the gutter) at the time, and i‘ve definitely thought about it in ages since then.

Still no idea.

This was the first film I ever watched where I could tell it made no sense, just scene to scene it was incoherent

I never saw it! Did glance at the wiki page after posting here though and, yeah, it looks all over the shop.

Bold to start with “What’s in the box?!” though I guess the reference is probably lost on the target audience.
