My first mp3 player was an RCA Lyra, from 1999 or 2000.

It came with a 32mb card, and was slow to work. But worst of all, it skipped just like a cd player. I remember it being expensive too.

It was sad when Speed TV took over. There was a group of us who used to hit up a pub in Walnut Grove to watch JGTC races, fuzebox, zulu, and others. Speedvision used to have a half hour program devoted to the week's races and it was awesome to watch while we played pool.

Then Speed took over and took away all of the unique broadcasting, replacing it with Nascar 24/7.

Then the pub closed down.....
:okay:

The new entertainment options planned for the redeveloped Brentwood Town Centre shopping mall, now known as ‘The Amazing Brentwood’, could rival those currently found at Metropolis at Metrotown.

In fact, it could even provide a throwback to those who remember Metrotown’s Playdium, which was shut in 2005 and replaced with a Winners.

Cineplex has announced that it will build a massive 64,700 ft² entertainment centre at the top level of the expanded shopping mall complex that will include a VIP cinema with five auditoriums and a special lounge area.

There will also be a massive ‘Rec Room’ with over 100 arcade games and simulators, a bowling alley, and dining options including an upscale restaurant and sports bar.

this pic is god damn creepy as hell... jesus christ my eyes!

Never had them. I'd say I was more jealous of the size and even though they had less juice than a standard juice box (250 ml)

What burned my throat?

WTF happened to the old super soaker!!??
I was trying to buy a new water gun, all the new supersoaker now comes with this shitty "pump to shoot" design...basically a bigger squirt gun that's weak and awkward to use.

Ahhhh my first super soaker. We didn't have much money so my mom couldn't afford the 100. It always pissed me off that the kid down the block got the 100 and could shoot 25ft further than me.

for those of you who were around for expo 86 and still remember the McBarge, there is a crowdfunding push to convert it into a deep ocean discovery centre:

Vancouver's McBarge could become a Deep Ocean Discovery Centre | Daily Hive Vancouver

http://images.dailyhive.com/20171012...interior-2.jpg

Supporters are being offered the chance to go aboard the McBarge for the first time since Expo ’86 on Saturday, October 21.

I’ve been aboard it via boat once before a few years ago. All I can say is have fun restoring it.

I honestly don’t even think it would be financially viable with all the asbestos inside.

i have to assume that since they've already gutted out the interior and hopefully by doing so they have done the necessary asbestos abatement?


unfortunately the planned event was canceled due to bad weather:

don't know if and when it will be rescheduled.

I'm a few weeks early but remember when this game was released 20 years ago?

Never even knew what an FTO was till I played this game.

Also this song for days...


Trying to remember what my first car was but I think it was a BB4 Prelude in that dark blue colour. Won me a lot of 'farming races'

:sweetjesus:
