The one thing I wanted back from the past is my Intellivision. It may or or be in a derelict shed. Gone either way.

I'll pour one out for it tonight.

I wish I still had my childhood Commodore 64. Been on the lookout for one for a while now, but even the fixer-uppers are worth heaps. The days of $20 garage-sale specials are long gone!

I put a commodore 64 on my hard rubbish pile 20 years ago. Not proud of that now.
