As for Meccano, it used to come in two ranges, Meccano Box Standard, and Meccano Box Deluxe

It is from these names that the phrases "Bog Standard" and "Dog's Bollocks" came into popular parlance. Now you know.

That's a great useless fact! I'm currently trying to find ways of sneaking this into conversations at work to make me sound smart..

"Jenkins.. where are the TPS reports"

"I was working on them when I realised that I was filling in the bog standard form.. by they way - ineresting fact about that.."

Did anyone else have this stuff:

Linkits - I think it may have been the poor cousin in the world of kid's construction games... used to have boxes and boxes of the stuff.

Ah it was just another failed Lego competitor.. kept it next to the 'Construx'. You could build vaguely humanoid looking characters out of them, among other things.. hours of entertainment.

stickle-brick acquisition: successful.
Richie: I had those things. My set was used to construct a centipede. It had horns/feelers.
It was no space lego, that's for sure.
Oh man. The new space lego. I saw it in Smyths today.
If my lego-men had been outfitted as Imperial Storm-Troopers, I would have been the happiest 8 year-old on the planet.

YES!! I once made a long chain type thing with these and then whipped my brother across the face with it. I split his mouth open, good craic.

Also, the robots I made with these would have wars with the lego robots I made. They always lost, even when they had GI Joe and Starcom on their side.

The desire to inflict pain on a sibling is the #1 source of inspiration for childhood creativity.
