At university we used to spend hours and hours amusing ourselves by glueing a 20p to the pavement outside the dorm block door...

Be careful... admitting to such a crime on here? You wouldn't happen to be a photographer by any chance?

Blimey, you were a rich Student! That 20p would have bought a Pint back then wouldn't it?

At the dentist this morning, they tipped me back on their motorised dentist chair and all of my lose change fell out of my pocket, all one pound plus "trolley token",

I found £10 in a charity shop yesterday. How do you think I feel?

Never mind that, how do you think I feel...? first I drop 20p in the petrol station, then I lose a tenner in a bloody Oxfam shop...

I even put an ad in the paper for return of the same...got fook all response...

Life's a bastard.

Yeah, but the pint would have lasted a minute at best - the 20p glued to the pavement sometimes lasted a good few days.. 


(Until the grumpy uni caretaker bloke came along and chiselled it off with a huff and a moan, only to be back a few days later when another had appeared..)

Oh how we laughed..

Did the newspaper ad cost you £10.20?

Ironic if it did.

Did you and your mates also put cling film underneath toilet seats, with 'hilarious consequences'?

No, but we did paper up doorways to peoples rooms and fill the gap with tiny polystyrene balls..

And we did disassemble one guys room and put it back together as a wildlife reserve...

Shit, it's 40p now, I'm getting a nosebleed. You could get a Boss DS-1 for that in them days.

True, but we never quite made it to the 60p required for a metal zone

I am not sure if I imagined this but when I was a kid I am sure there used to be like a mail order record thing...... like a leaflet in magazines, you could join it and get so many records in a deal?

Yep.  Britannia Music, I think.   I joined once....ordered three records....taped them and then sent them back.  

Didnt everyone do that? You had to be careful though, otherwise you'd end up with the "editors choice" every month.  Hence why I own a copy of Neil Diamond's Twenty Golden Greats.

Finding a couple of 20ps glued to the pavement once amused me too. My mate spotted them first - he tried to pick them up and found they were stuck.

Took me all of about two seconds to get them off with my Swiss Army knife. One for him, one for me. Oh how we laughed!
