I just use my 'phone

 

Well you are a United supporter.

 

Yes,I have all my programmes from before and after the war,plus my scrapbooks of Spurs from the 50's.
I also posess about 4 programmes from the season that never was,1939-40. I wonder if Spurs have them,if they ever kept a programme for every match?

It occurred to me that many thousands of programmes were destroyed during WW2 due to enemy bombing.

I also posess a copy of a league match at Thames with Jimmy Dimmock at Outside left....and a football yearbook from 1902 (Evening News)..
My oldest Spurs handbook is from 1911-12.


They will probably bury them with me!

p,s.I also had a disaster for a stepfather,even though he was a Spurs fan.

When I played, he would show up and start having a go at the referee.

Some years ago,his daughter,my half sister,asked me if "dad" ever hit me. I told her he did it all the time. She replied "Well he never hit me!"

Oh these wonderful memories!!!!?

 

I have in my possession a lot of programmes - mainly Spurs and Orient.
My grandad was a season ticket holder at Spurs for as long as I could remember and if I couldn't go to the match he would give me his (with lineup changes etc). I'd say from the early 70's through to when he passed away in the early 80's . Can't bear to part with for any reason.
I love jazz, anything with brass especially tenor sax.
Tried photography when I went on a 3 week holiday through Europe (2012), bought a very expensive Ricoh DSLR with long range lens and tripod. Used extensively throughout the trip but as soon as we arrived home the camera got packed away and has hardly been used since. Life!

 

Old skooler all the way aren't you Dee, I like you brudda x

 

Go UFO spotting..use that Camera I'm sick of watching footage produced by a toaster.

 

For all you photography bods suffering the aggro of carting all that (analog or digital) SLR
kit around just to get half-decent photos, salvation may be close at hand :

As the the guy was a founder of Flarion Communications, he gets a RDBD
tech seal of approval.

 

I use Fuji throw away cameras all the time. Great pictures .......and I'm too old to change. So there!

 

I didn't know that they still sold them.
Virtually everyone's got a billion megapixel camera on their phone nowdays, so I thought that they'd have died off.

 

Apparently they still make the old instamatic cameras - the one that produces a photo instantly, my daughter (19yo) wants one go figure that one!

 

Cool thread. Reading all these comments makes me feel like I know some of you a little better.

 

Polaroid camera were all the rage, at one time.

 

Only for taking pictures of snatch in fairness. The films were a fortune and the quality pretty poor.

They only had one real purpose.

 

Most professional photographers use them to set up pictures. Your use would be better served with digital, surely.

 

I meant back in the day mate, when you had to take your films into Boots for processing.

Close ups of flange developed by Mrs Roberts from round the corner wasn't the way to go

 

I agree with Tobes, here. Fiesta Readers Wives wouldn't have existed but for the good old Polaroid.

You lads have a lot to be thankful for.

 

If one person was going to lower the tone...

 

I thought that was my nob...job, I mean job.

 

Readers Wives was mainly right old dogs with full on bush, like Lassie with his throat cut.
I preferred Penthouse or Playboy
