Small things that make you smile

[Pablo Huntsbach]

^I had a quick search for it at one point but no, I haven't. I think my favourite bit is the line about "sucking down peppermint schnapps and trying to call Morocco at 2 in the morning".

Another thing that makes me smile (on a similar note) is people who have absolutely no creative talent who nevertheless have unwavering self belief and drive for self promotion. Those people are an inspiration.

I know it's old but Dom Joly shouting into a large fake mobile phone in public places still makes me laugh. Would love to do that if I was more confident!

^ I imagine you to be like zippy out of Rainbow in real life...for some reason. :p

[Pandapop]

So first Cheska and now Zippy?

[buttonlane]

no...you look like cheska..act like zippy.lol

[cymruambyth26]

No S.M.T.V Live??? ......I know it wouldn't actually be live that day but still they could show the first or last episode!

Best part of the show was always Chums!

Tots TV, and where on earth is Banana's in Pyjama's? (I'm talking the original cartoon series where real people dressed as B1 and B2)

[cymruambyth26]

All these take me back: Rosie and Jim, Art Attack (What couldn't Neil do with PVA Glue?) Huxley Pig, How 2, Sooty and Co just off the list.

I couldn't honestly pick one favourite out of the ones you and I have mentioned..........Just awesome. I will never the less be recording alot of these old cartoons CITV are showing this weekend.

On a side note I still can't believe when I think about SMart in particular that Mark Speight is no longer with us. He was the man that brought SMart to life for me.

[Dougie Jones]

hehe.. There was no way you were getting away with denying it anyway. YOU ARE ZIPPY

[Pablo Huntsbach]

We're talking old kids tv?

This has everything, a bottle faced man in drag, neglected pets, a bear and a robot disguised as a cow... There's another episode on youtube titled 'Queenie Jelly loses her cherries' which sounds scandelous...

This is nonesense

Some questions
1) Is there anyone other than me and my cousin who remember The Telebugs?
2) What is Baron Bullybyte's accent?
3)An elderly woman disguises herself as a beautiful woman and offers videogames in order to lure in children for her boyfriend/boss or whatever he is. Seriously?

We're sooo cool. Glad it made ya happy.

Just flicking through a book about stamps from the Falklands Islands. There is a chapter called 'Unhinged Dykes' which has brightened up, what has so far been, a pretty shit day.

I was wondering if you actually have an interest in stamps or is it merely just a job to you?

[Tom123]

^ No interest in stamps, not sure I will ever have one tbh (but there are plenty of other things to do, like auctioneering at some point if I want). I just don't find the history behind them very interesting and I don't get why people get so excited about them.

I do love working in an auction house though and the location is great and the money will potentially be very good if I stick with it but I also want to work with people of more my own age...
