Memory Lane Favourite Southend landmark - past or present.

[BrettieAngell]

I am currently loving the "wall of light" on the top of pier of hill.

Top work by the council I thought!

The whip...and the twirly train ride in the corner of peter pans playground...ah and never never land .... oh the memories

I was also the kind of geek that loitered around Estuary, Computerama, Software plus and annoyed Dixons staff with:

10 print "You are w***er!"
20 goto 10
run

 

[David Essex]

does anyone recall the name of the night club that used to be in the vic precinct

Put the semi colon at the end of the quotes Cyril! Call yourself a programmer? :D

I remember there was a ZX Spectrum POKE command that would mimic the squiggly border loading thingy. Oh the hours of fun I had.... :stunned:

If you mean on the seafront then yes.

Zhivago's?

OMG..........i got kicked out of there so many times.

What was the name of the night club that used to be half way down the high street, on the left heading to the pier not far from the book shop on the other side?

 

[Cricko]

Zhivago's?

Or as it was originally called.The Intercon..which I always thought was a rather peculier name .It was attached to The Beer Keller next door where I saw Gary Glitter play a few times to the local kids.....That is a worry in itself now ..

The Old Talza Market for me and the Boating lake on the seafront.

Dragging you right back mate..................do you remember a huge toy shop on the High Street, had about 3 floors that used to stretch back?

And also the bait and tackle shop on the left at the top of Pier Hill, think it was the last shop on the right before the hill?

Not required on Commodore basic.

Putting a ';' at the end of a print statement would produce this output:

You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!You are a w***er!

Which I am sure you will agree clutters the screen and reduces the impact of my intended obscenity.

I loof forward to receiving your apology in due course.

The plastic lobster and shell maze by C&A was great as well.

I thought that was Bermans? in Southchurch Road which was a Toy Shop that also sold Lawnmowers.
