I loved the Sound of Music, I wore out several videos, I was really glad when DVD's came out- lol! I always wrap Christmas presents to Santa Claus the movie each year, it's my little tradition
Ghostbusters. Was defo the very fave of mine as a kid, and when I was about 10 I found a large empty stainless steel fire extinguisher by the side of the bypass. Using some tools from the shed I managed to unscrew the top mechanism, refil it with water and Mum's red food colouring and pressurise it back up using a foot pump. I then tied it to my back using string, worn like a rucksack only more painful, and called for my best friend. We took it in turns pretending to be Ray from Ghostbusters before finally letting rip with the DIY proton pack, me holding the hose part and him squeezing the handle which was behind my head when worn on your back. "Don't cross the beams".
That was a glorious day
My mate, inspired by my efforts, made his pack using his mum's vacuum cleaner. Whilst his pack looked better with the taped-on silverfoil covered bog rolls and had a much cooler hose, the whole thing sucked. LOL.
They showed the Goonies on Channel 5 at the weekend. Forgot just how damn good that film is! My girlfriend watched it for the first time ever too, she loved it!
