Off Topic / Re: What Song Is Stuck In Your Head?
« on: March 23, 2014, 01:45:24 AM »
Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out of My Head", which I hadn't sung for a while until I saw the title of this post! Grr.

Will have to sing something more annoying and 70s like this, that I have often had stuck in my mind and couldn't get rid of:

I DARE YOU TO WATCH IT!

I think after the success of the 'Mamma Mia' film, it is socially acceptable to admit liking them!
Played at every party anyway.
I like 'Does your mother know?' and 'Honey Honey' in adult life, but as a toddler used to dance around when it was on Radio 2 in the morning, mainly 'Money Money Money' which I thought was a song about money spiders.

I think that the one that you might of had was called Rev Raptor.

Closer, but maybe mine wasn't a T Rex. I just remember:
It was small, average Transformer size, I must have bought it in about 1985, it was dark red and grey, walked on 2 of it's 4 legs, fell over it's own feet, wasn't that fearsome looking comparing it to those in this post, it came in a box with 'Zoids' on it and I think the photo of the creature within. Does that make it any easier?! I"d never seen any other Zoids until this post, never realised they were a big toyline, as a child I just assumed they were a Transformers copy!

Off Topic / Re: Obscure Kids Shows
« on: March 17, 2014, 12:21:54 PM »
Most of my fave childrens tv programmes weren't that obscure, by English standards anyway, (Battle of the Planets, Bananaman, Superted, Jimbo and the Jet Set, the Family Ness, Spiderman and His Amazing Friends, Dogtanian, etc) but I watched children's TV avidly til I was about 19 and went to Uni and didn't have a telly! Apologies if those have already been mentioned.

More obscure progs shown in England included:
Scragtag
The Wilde House
Hedge and Mo
Fast Forward
Breakfast Serials
The Children of Fire Mountain
Escape from Jupiter

Cartoons:
Fantastic Max
Potsworth and Co
Rude Dog and the Dweebs
The Biskitts
The Paw Paw Bears
Littl' Bits
The New Shmoo
The Puppy's Further Adventures
Bravestarr
Fonz and the Happy Days Gang
Godzilla (and Godzuke)
Pole Position
The Poddington Peas

Oh, one of the directors/Writers/animators of 'The Animals of Farthing Wood' was friends with my art teacher at school, visited school and showed our A-Level class a lot of the drawings and cells, and even came to a barbeque our teacher had for us! Nice guy.

Mine was a lot smaller than that, and more upright, think it wound up and walked, and occasionally tripped over it's own feet on uneven surfaces!
Sounds like it might be Naomi's Gunsniper?

If not, I'd be curious to see what it is.  Also, I'd love to see a picture of it regardless! :)

I had one that looked a bit like a T Rex, it was upright, and small and maroonish and grey from what I remember. I only got it as the toy shop had run out of Transformers, but I couldn't make friends with it as it wasn't Optimus Prime or a friend, so it didn't stay with me for very long. I'll have to go and look up which one it was now! Never got a Transformer in the end. Sob.

Also if anyone's looking for stuff like that for elderly shaky relatives, search for 'disability aids' 'disabled supplies' 'disability cutlery' and the like and it should bring up all the catalogues for disability supplies, such as the cups, cutlery and stuff, plastic edges to put round dinner plates to stop food flying everywhere, that's where we get all our stuff for work.

Love the roan, but the dun especially! I'd customise Sindy horses but I have enough trouble finding room for the Sindy and Anna Moore ones  I've already got!

This is the one that I end up singing at regular intervals, a good road safety message too!

And this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr5er4ueWBQ I use in educational settings!

Don't forget Y,  Roland Rat, used to love his shows. His little gerbil friend Kevin collected pink buckets!
J looks familiar, it isn't from a Macauly Culkin film, or something is it?
Is 30 the giraffe from the Coco Pops adverts? Not sure about the uniform!

Love to see a close up pic of the ones you haven't identified yet!
