Off Topic / Re: What was the last film you watched? :)
« on: February 18, 2012, 02:31:54 PM »
'Don 2' starring Shah Rukh Khan!

I'm into Bollywood, but this was the silliest Action film I'd ever seen. And I haven't seen 'Don 1' either, so that plus the copy my friend gave me to watch didn't have English subtitles on it, meant that I was a bit confused. I do understand some Urdu, and quite a few lines in Indian films are spoken in English anyway, but still confusing. The bank robbery scene took up what would normally constitute the time taken to show a Hollywood film alone!
But at the cinema, the last 2 films I saw were 'Ra One' (Pretty good Bollywood Sci Fi film starring Shah Rukh Khan,  when computer game characters come to life and chase after each other) and the latest in the Twilight Saga, which I only watched since I'd read the books and seen the other films, I was rather self conscious surrounded by teenage girlies ahh-ing at wedding scenes and Robert Pattinson's chest.

My Afrobay says he likes Pearl! He loves a girl on roller boots.
My fave is probably the Cats one since you have got the character so right!

That makes a MLP so horse-like! Love it! I've never been a fan of G3s but if they can look this good I'll have to think again! Not that I'll be able to get the legs attached as perfectly as you have, but I might try!

I so wish they'd sold those fakies over here! I want a pale yellow and a Butterscotch colour one so my 2 fave ponies can have foals!

When I have the few ponies still on my wishlist, and all the stickers in my childhood  Panini album. Still want to go to Ponycon if it is within travelling distance by public transport of my house, so will be on the boards, and like looking at others collections.
Ponies are just one of a multitude of collections here, and since my house is already bursting at the seams, only my fave ponies will ever live here...

If it is any consolation... I work in a Special school. When one of my little friends who is severly Autistic first started school, for over a year he'd only be persaded to eat dinner if we poured the tinned spaghetti over the top that his mum had to send with him in a Thermos flask each day. Whatever the food that was on the plate.
Another boy would only eat his very limited (particular melt-in-the-mouth-type crisps, pot of porridge, custard cream biscuits) packed lunch if the spoon was dipped in yoghurt first before every mouthful!

Pony Corral / Re: So, which pony changed your mind?
« on: February 10, 2012, 10:42:47 AM »
I hated unicorns, but thought I needed Majesty for my collection bearing in mind how important she was in the Panini sticker album, which was the only Pony info I had until my adult collecting life. So I got Majesty, and thought that actually it wasn't so weird to see a horse with a white horn coming out of it's head, as ones with white horns look like unicorns, and to me horses with matching coloured horns coming out of their heads are just mutants! (Sorry, unicorn fans, but it's true! Tee hee hee). Now I am fighting with some warm fuzzy childhood feelings since my childhood friend had Gusty too, and I thought I only had room for one unicorn...

Pony Corral / Re: So, blind bags...does everyone want them?
« on: February 10, 2012, 10:35:45 AM »
I have no interest in MLP that aren't original G1. But I found the Blind Bags in my supermarket on the way home from work today. I had remembered mysteriously that the Applejack one was number 19, so I delved into the box and had a look. Just because I was passing that aisle. But there wasn't one. I picked up my shopping basket and was just about to move on, when I thought
"Hmm, I wonder if any have fallen out of the box onto the shelf behind something else?"
So I put my heavy basket down again (still clutching 2 other bags and my rucksack over my shoulder though) and moved the box. And found another box of them behind. So I had a quick delve, and guess who jumped into my basket? Couldn't buy the toilet roll cos the pony cost my last £1.70, but I got it to match the only other G4 pony I have, Applejack in case you couldn't work it out.
I've just had a look on several websites at pictures of the other ones, and like a few pony's colours, they don't look like MLP to me, but a lot nice looking than those ugly 3.5 things, so if I found them in a charity shop in future months they will come home and live with me!

My fave childhood Dr Who was Peter Davidson, but David Tennant will be my fave of all time. The Sylvester McCoy episodes I found the most scary in the  pre 'Dr Who relaunched several years later with Christopher Eccleston' days. I've seen all episodes that have been on BBC, sadly some from the early black and white days were destroyed years ago.
Don't know if you can still buy them, but here in the Argos catalogue they used to sell TARDIS canvas wardrobes for about £40! More expensive one here

I didn't know the G1 MLP cartoon existed until 3 years ago! It was on the channel I didn't watch in my house in the 80s so I hadn't seen it.

Off Topic / Re: Your favorite collection - other than ponies!!
« on: January 30, 2012, 01:43:40 PM »
I have so many collections it is so hard to decide. Probably 30 or more collections of various things.
So either my West End Musical theatre programmes and souvenirs, which I've collected since I was a teenager, my gemstones that I've collected since I was 5, or my Japanese art books. Those I'd miss most if they vanished...

I watched both the series, not exactly historically accurate, (spot the tv ariels etc!) but gives an idea of what my great grandparents did for a living!  (great grandad was a Butler to a Lord somebody, and another relative was a ladies maid). It was actually made for ITV in the UK, not BBC, which as I am a BBC snob shows why there are mistakes in it! Tee hee.
I like the elderly countess, some of her looks are priceless!

Congratulations on all your ponies!
