    Rubik's cube?

    Although invented in the 70s it didn't come to this country and become such a big thing until the 80s.

    That's right Farnham. Jay is telling you you're not allowed to remember it before he did.

    Correct. It was 1981 when they arrived here.

    Yeah but Farnham and I first met at a shop in Budapest in 1977, when they first launched.

    Farnham was wearing roller skates.

    Sorry wrong by a few months

    I remember playing with one during the summer hols whilst still at school - I left in 1981 so it must have been the 1980 Summer I suppose. A quick google shows it was on sale in 1980 in the UK

    Bet you wont let me have the Human League either - even though I remember them before the 2 birds joined in 1980
