I remember it was quite big and heavy. Probably an oak board about 20-30 inches long? Maybe smaller. It seemed very big to me at the time but I was only very little.

The steel Bananarama! steel pins and were trapped at different numbers to make up your score.

I loved playing it so much that in the mid-late 60s my parents threw it out and replaced it with a smaller modern one made of plastic. This one was light and portable. Probably about A4 size.

Once I was old enough to get into pubs i could never leave the tables alone. I never took to video games and the like in pubs. But I could never resist pinball tables.

Something like this Dave or was it a deeper version with a glass top?

It was very much like that indeed Jem! I was only infant school age but it was one of my favorite toys and i had it years so i remember it.

Just had a memory of my mother complaining about me snagging my home made jumper sleeves on the pins.

He does this in the West wing of his house Dunc. His lass has use of the South wing and they share the East wing.

The servants live in the North wing of course.

I'm happily divorced, heterosexual, live on my own in a one bedroom flat (albeit a big one) and have a gorgeous Daughter and Grandson.

Have I passed?

hey matey, it was just an observation that it would take a good woman to put up with your wall art, i think its ace mate,
and if you did happen to be a lifter so what it sure dont bother me crikey i was mates with bottom ray for circa 15yrs,

and i would be a shirt lifter as ivor puts it, just so long as what i folded over did not have a handle at the front to stop me falling off,

Well I've always said if I met a rich gay Arab then I could stand the pain for half an hour if he could stand the price.
