    Still got my 2ft purple and yellow original 'Lava Lamp Co' in the wardrobe mate, bought it in 97 and love it, but just doesn't fit with the house decor at the present. But times and fashions change and she will live again. :cool:

    I can't really comment on the 70's, it is lost in the mist created by the wrong kind of cigarette, party sevens and thinking I looked go in an afghan coat ( it did have an inside pocket for a can of Breaker though ) platform shoes and snogging behind the curtain at Streetly disco thanking god I remembered to get a condom from the barber shop.
