Magazines and offers

It isn't as I type this quite as warm as had been forecast not that that doesn't put me off going and out and doing things as we all wedre as many modern youngsters cue up to to say to they were inspired to as they read about and reenacted being soldiers, playing war games, or emulating our footballing heroes, practising in all conditions.

As it was rare for school to be closed we just had to be resilient coming in in snow and heavy rain.

Later on as moved more into just being my more child-like self self I followed the manga and animes of Narato.

The series follows Naruto Uzumaki as a teenage ninja striving to protect his village and achieve his dream of becoming Hokage, the leader of the Hidden Leaf Village. 

With over 250 million copies of the Naruto manga sold worldwide and Naruto Shippuden running for over a decade, the series has become a cornerstone of anime culture praised for its action, complex characters, and emotional depth. 

Naruto Shippuden’s themes of redemption, sacrifice, and perseverance explore how the bonds of friendship can defeat the most powerful enemies and that was really what appealed to me.

Magazines and comics were always a thing with me and often had ads for others by the same publishers and with some it seemed few payed the Newsstand price always being on a reduction.

It was rare over here to see "Bill me later" offers but I dare say some of us might, like Calvin, might of had a field day filling in such cards and then at some point having the letters demanding payment we'd need to show our parents at which point all hell would break loose!

These days you can have this with "In game" purchases where you might of thought having got the game for your child that was it but not anymore and if you left your bank details in... you can work out how that would pan out!
