Freemans and Gratan catalogues every time, the boNus of these was they were heavy so helped build up the forearm muscles when you had to "escort" them to the bathroom

I remember when Argos used to use an attribute system for the digital watches. For some reason my friends and I at the time competed to see who could get their parents to buy them the watch with the most features.

I re-bought a lot of the technic Lego, 8860, the car chassis was more erotic to me than even the lady in the shower, why a Triton shower is causing her an Orgasm though, I don't know.

Page 219 looks like Wolf from Gladiators !

There is some other retro retail soft core **** in there as well, though not as good as shower woman.

Trouble is, I can now envisage, SB having a nostalgic tug, "Argos, you know where to come"

I used to own a very similar item to that Hitachi telly, except it was the 21" model. Wasn't bought from Argos though, and lasted over 20 years altogether, after eventually being relegated to the spare room. Quality piece of kit
