No, but maybe something wrong was with imageshack.us

Interesting. I always found the lingerie section of the Kays catalogue more interesting a young boy. To each their own though.

For nothing but research purposes, I have since discovered that Kays is still going and their lingerie section has improved dramatically since I was 8!

I'm adding nothing at all to this thread, so I shall retire for the evening.

s2325 · 13 December 2010, 01:48

yes, pages with lingerie were also my favourite

All about the watches in the Argos catalogue. Cheap Casio's that I only ever had, the holy grail of a calculator watch and untold that my dad used to wear.

Cameras look shocking too.

OH YES!!

Got a couple of VCS2600s - plastic and woody

And an A1200 for 699DM... even the currency is retro

I'm sure I've got some old Tandy magazines kicking around somewhere.....

We are now living a complete retro era. But -now-, not back at the 80's, 70's, 60's... NOW we are Retro. In decadence

Sorry to say this, but I don't remember much from 1985, I was 18 years old and had a life of girls in mini/micro skirts and loads of beer

So while some of you were playing with you electronic gadgetry, I was busy with other things

Mind you, there is stuff in those pages even I remember as a kid, so times didn't really change that much from when Argos first opened it's doors. Nevertheless, great find

LOL! You mean you didn't make time for BOTH!!!???

I suppose only being 16 meant that I wasn't old enough to drink

Jope · 14 December 2010, 15:40

I was too young to drink in 1985 so I just wasted time on my C-64. :-D

Raid27 · 14 December 2010, 17:44

I remember those handheld games! I was ace with Donkey Kong.

Both in moderation. I managed it in the 90s

Ah, page 230. Pac-Man the board game at £6.95. For those whose parents didn't love them enough to buy them an Atari 2600.
