Excellent. I don't remember the Beetle as much as I do the Fiat. The Beetle looks much smarter.

If/when I have kids I will be switching off the MCB every Sunday afternoon and telling them it's a power cut so we can all play Subbuteo under candle lit floodlights.

For the terminally afflicted you could get a mini-Her Majesty the Queen with FA Cup to present at your subbuteo Cup Final. Also a 'streaker'! Subbuteo tried to become an olympic sport so there must be sets in roof space in many countries. Someone bring it back please...

Subbuteo tried to become an olympic sport so there must be sets in roof space in many countries. Someone bring it back please... I think Barbie might have streaked at one of my games. I didn't care about whether it was realistic for a woman about 25 times the height of my players legging it across my pitch because I also knew that a woman with such thin legs and enormous bosoms would be too top heavy to run anywhere anyway. This thread has made me realise though, that I could derive as much pleasure from playing Subbuteo now as I did when I was a lad. And now with the added benefit of having the funds for floodlights. After building a pretty accurate Selhurst Park in Minecraft, I was recently tempted to build a very large scale model of the Holmesdale out of Lego (with working floodlights and lit walkways) but I knew that if I did that my Mrs would make me throw my weights bench away to make space for it. Still not sure I've made the right choice. I urgently need children to justify my follies.
