Ghosts of Christmas Past: The long-ago geek gifts that made us what we are

"[...] especially the one meeting a month devoted to showing porno films."

We had a film at one Christmas party. Unfortunately they forgot the screen - so it had to be projected onto the newly papered wall. That was white with big splashes of orange flowers - which added an interesting variant on fig leaves. The film was very soft by modern standards - but a distinct improvement on the usual playground hedge-blown Health and Efficiency magazines. It was only a few years later that Mayfair and Penthouse became standard newsagents' stock.

That same party no one thought to bring a corkscrew. So the Bulls Blood was full of fragments of chopped up cork - which had to be filtered through the teeth.
