Random musings and general banter.

Didn't you have my little pony? That's what all the girls wanted for Christmas in 1986. Think I was into transformers that year.

He's just said the blankets will look great with the grey rattan furniture. He really is a thoughtless *****.

At the end of Crackerjack the winner had armfuls of toys and games. I can remember so strongly my sister and me looking at them and wondering what it would be like to have that many toys. It was - to us - just unbelievable. I dont think we begrudged them, we just didn’t know there were that many! Then, a bit later, our mum got work friends with catalogues and at Christmas we used to look through them with that same wonder.

Did anyone else do that? It was kind of better than having them, because they never disappointed you. Mind you, one year I got ‘Crossfire’ and played it all the time for days. I can still feel the blisters from the trigger on that red plastic ball bearing ‘gun’.

I think we were all happier then…

I remember looking at the toys in the catalogues with awe. One Christmas I got a toy caravan for my Sindy doll, my mum made curtains for it. I was ecstatic!

Peter doesn’t think, I’m not sure he knows what he’s on about ever, just a load of rambling nonsense

I am sorry for lowering the tone to its lowest point in advance. I was reminiscing while reading something. I am positive that some of the other guys on here had similar experiences. Walking to school in the mid to late 80s, and finding copies of razzle, fiesta and escort stuffed in hedges. You just hoped all the good pages weren't already "sealed".

 

[galesgal57]

I'm sure I don't know what you mean.

As Joe is demonstrating pans at the minute. I keep seeing an advert on Facebook for HexClad pans, I then noticed how much they cost. I have a mixture of Judge Vista and ProCook pans. I used to have Circulon, but in my opinion, they are not as good as I thought they would be.

Nor me, I was the child who would get up 20 minutes before having to walk to school, and would be eating toast as I walked

Depending on which way the wind blows. Air fryers are the best cooking. Using a pan on the hob is the best for cooking. They both bend like a reed.

I prefer the pull and chop, over this push and chop.

Maybe someone had a word with him after the last time.

Maybe someone had a word with him after the last time.

He (Joe) walked offscreen clearly uncomfortable, but trying to be funny but not funny. I'm not surprised

Old Pedro probably picked up too many bad habits at the BBC, watching that untouchable cigar muncher.

I remember getting a horse for Sindy! And also cutting Tressy’s hair, and hiding it, until it grew back…..

Coming up at 8pm on TJC an insulated coffee mug. Guess that will turn upon IW3 over the weekend, or sometime next week, just like the G Lamp Mike launched last night is going to be on TJC at 9am on Sunday. The whole setup is weird. I get they wanted to have a bigger market share, but do they really think TJC viewers never watch IW3 and vice vera. Items launched on one channel, soon end up on the other.

Expect to see the Grabbers on IW3 next!!
