S56 Appreciation Society

[Cornish Chris]

There have been several posts recently regarding S56.
I must admit hardly a day goes by without Steve raising a wry smile on my usually dour face.
The "does anybody remember" features are spectacular, his encyclopedic knowledge of 70's & 80's music are staggering, I look forward with glee to his "I once met......in the early 80's" tales, and his use of fresh characters (his Mum & the dear Sue) keep you gasping for more.

Why oh why has some enterprising, TV mogul not snapped up the Steve56 phenonomem is beyond me, stand aside Trigger Happy TV, Be very worried
Avid Merrion, there is a new kid on the block in the figure of Steve56.

I think I better register the Yahoo.Group the "The World of Steve56" now..before some bugger beats me to it.

Moderators please listen to my plea, can we have a jpg that welcomes you to the O/T forum of Steve in full 70,s gear sat on his Raleigh Chopper listening to his Walkman(probably the Kinks) and eating a Cadbury's Curly Wurly......then i would believe there is a god.

Cheers in awe Cornish Chris (Happier for the S56 Experience).

Well ,taking the piss or not i think steve's alright (apart from his liking of ELP Jim Davidson's fave band....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
At first i though he was a serial forum poster , a person who spends all day flicking from one forum to the next getting in a bit of a muddle with his answer's , now i think he's just a surreal poster !! flicking from forum's all day with his melting watch !
It's hard for some to keep cool when trying to bulid a thread on a subject and he pop's up and start's talking about something else (not just the kinks album), followed by jj ripping the piss , but it all kinda all grow's on me like you say Chris ' iam Happier for the S56 Experience '

I am not at all taking the piss.
My comments are true and heart felt.

Actually jj, as much as I bow to your superior knowledge regarding trivialities, I must point out that whilst you were spot on about all those glorious icons from the decade of decadance, the Sony Walkman was launched in 1980.

was it 74,75 the vcr was first on the market or later?

I spent all of my teen years living in Hong Kong and saw no end of prototype electrical goods a good 18 months before they hit the UK, and we had our first VCR (Beetamax) in 1980, but I do recall seeing them in 1978. We had a microwave in 1978, which in hindsight was a shit decision given the choice

See what I mean this is awesome stuff.
One quick one liner gets the posts going, yet you post a brand new set of porno pics for the forumites and your lucky if you get a responce.
Comic genius mate comic genius.

How about a double act---S56 and Mr al-Sahaf. Comes complete with Ceefax subtitles for those whose brains melt.

the sony walkman was first previewed in 1979, though it was called the stowaway. the first domestic vcr`s appeared c.1971/2 made by phillips.
