There's an outhouse in most Finnish summer cottages…
Anyone here used a Telex machine? I once had a summer job at ship brokers', where one of my duties was to send telex messages my boss had prepared ready in those cute papertapes. Sometimes a machine would start ringing, and then there was somebody wanting immediate attention at the other end, kind of a stone age Messenger. The same company had one über moder machine, the telefax!!!
umm, no i dont remember those, but i do remember having a ditto machine in my elementry school. an old school photocopier.
Apperently my family's cottage had an outhouse but my mom insisted on indoor plumbing when she started bringing us as children. |

Matey? That would make me feel like a pirate. "Ahoy there, Matey!" Arrrrrrrrr! That's way cooler than mam.

Ooooh, and a bandana and an eye patch! And a maybe a hook. Actually, a fork would be better, don't you think? Much more practical. |

Is ditto machine the one that makes faint purple blue copies, some kind of wax (??) copier? We had that in my first school in the 70's (I know I'm ancient!). The item to be copied had to be hand written on a special material and making copies was slow and apparently expensive.
Some fantastic art supplies here, I still use some of them:

Mmm, that sounds interesting. My current Swiss army knife only has boring stuff. |

probably the same idea but i dont think ours had to be handwriten. But yes it left weird streaks and it smelled bad and you had to crank and handel. I dont know why we had thing bc i distinctly remember having a photo copier. I think it was cheaper to do lots of copies this way or something. I really only remember this until about grade 2 or 3 (early 90s) so i think it ceased to exist after that |

i wonder who that is *ponders* he's right though retro + vintage = belle and sebastian fans :)
Twats, the lot of them, saw one today in Tower Records looking at Michael Bubbly CDs, yeah totally cool and trendy ya wank.
and while I'm on the subject saw a young lad yesterday guesstimate around 18-20, wearing Baseball Boots, Drainpipe Levis and a Stonewashed Denim Jacket. I remember my Dad wearing that exact sh!t 25 fucking years ago ya wee spunkbag!!
