Well, I don't know how many of you readers of Allan's Weblog know about this - but the fact is that I own a time machine. I use it from time to time - and the other day I wanted to go back in time in order do some shopping.
You know, I'm so much fed up with additives and strange colours in food, so I thought that if I went back to 1830 I would be able to buy a salami with only salami in it.
On this day, the shortest day of the year, I spotted this stranded raft lying abandoned on the beach.
I remember last summer when this homemade, floating piece of toy was anchored 400 metres away from the shore and we used it to rest on before swimming back to the coastline.
I miss those warm summer days. I guess the raft does, too.
The seventies really were something else. I have previously mentioned glasses as big as dinner-dishes, knitted knee-warmers, bell-bottom jeans and numerous other stuff.
But this one takes the prize. It's the strangest thing I've seen for a very long time - and watching it I really don't know what to do with myself.
Should I laugh? Should I cry? Should I rush outside and howl to the moon?
It's a footage from German television from sometime in the seventies. It's a sort of fashion show about the different player's uniforms suggested for the different soccer teams in the Bundesliga - the German League. And for you guys from the US of A, soccer has the status over here you could compare with your Baseball.
