Vintage Advert - Hear Muffs, Headphones you wouldn't kick out of bed

Oh my word....I need a pair of these to go walking up and around the English countryside in to stop the wind from howling around my ears. I'm thinking they should relaunch these "Hear Muffs" and give the headphones "Beats" by Dr Dre a run for his money.

Square Eyes - Cartoon

When I lived at home with my parents, If my mum thought I was watching too much TV she would say "you'll end up with square eyes".

I should constantly have square eyes. by Sam Freek of didgi widgi ~ canvas art , photography & art prints

My Sisters Sunday Dinner - Cartoon

My sister is an amazing cook there is no doubt about that, especially her Sunday dinners and her portions are huge. As a family we were brought up on large portions, I think it was to fill us up so much we wouldn't be able to move after tea therefore no trouble. So be warned, if you ever go to my sisters house for tea, remember to wear elasticated pants so your stomach can expand with all the food you will eat.

Vauxhall Viva 1972, Classic Car - Illustration

I feel lucky to be the owner of a 1972 Vauxhall Viva classic car, I love the look of it with all the chrome and I always wanted a baby blue one having had two previous Vivas in gold. Whenever I go out for a drive and park up somebody always makes a comment about the car. Not long back an old lady approached me after I had just got out of my car and said "I had my first sexual encounter in a car like that" and walked off laughing...after I had picked my jaw up off the floor I laughed and went on my merry way into town to do a bit of shopping. Now when I look in my rear view mirror I remember what the old lady said and I shake my head as if to get rid of that crazy thought. Thanks for the memories old lady! :-)

Vintage Advert - The Best Things in Life Come in Cellophane

These old vintage adverts can shock you sometimes at how they try and get the message across and this is one of them. When I first spotted this retro advert it reminded me of all the health/danger warnings of what could happen to children if they were left to play with plastic shopping/carrier bags (they would suffocate).
