ParaSitius

@TheMekon_Venus I have vague memories of the show but it wasn't one I actively watched.

When I was a kid.. this was on all the time. About a kid., that I presume we’d say was out of control these days. I can’t remember what she did that was so bad though.

💻What was the first OS you ever used?

@Tokyonobo Ya clumsy eejit 😆 Get well soon.

One reason I haven't been able to post much lately is because of this foot injury. A month ago, I tripped on the stairs at home and fractured the top of my right foot. As a result, I have to use crutches when I go out, which limits my mobility. However, I'm getting much better.

@Classicbritcom Love that Spit has grey hairs too.

Bob Carolgees is 78 today, Happy Birthday Bob 🎁🎂

@TheMekon_Venus Mekon should've concentrated on getting a good PR rep rather then statues.

@ParaSitius Dan Dare has a better publicist..

They build statues of the Mekon. Not Dan Dare.

@Classicbritcom I always wonder if he would've made a return to acting if the stroke hadn't made that decision for him. A real loss that he had to permanently retire.

Today, we celebrate Richard O'Sullivan's 82nd birthday! Wishing you a very happy birthday, Richard 🎁🎂

@TheMekon_Venus I always thought it was a bit unfair that the 2 player team only had to answer 5 questions correctly.

The premise for this included the question ‘Are 2 heads better than 1’? Which is why there was always a 2 player team VS a single player team. Would you rather be the single player.. needing just 4 steps to cross the board? Or in a team but needing 5 steps to cross the board?

@TheMekon_Venus Still have my copy knocking about somewhere.

My school used to force us to take books out of the library. This type of book was what I went for. Clearly BS.. but a lot of fun.

@TeamFOLON I've not backed this KS but those that I have, have mostly been late with deliveries due to the printing companies and their lack of quality control. Kudos to sticking to your guns and demanding the quality you expect.

This .gif is only a fraction of how angry I have been with this printing company. We've just been so let down by them... We left a HUGE buffer to prepare us for any delays so we didn't miss our plans. But this company has gone beyond the buffer and then some!

Message about the Kickstarter! We're sorry for the delay and frustration. We won’t send anything we're not proud of. Thanks for sticking with us 🙏

@QueenieandBlue Yet karting on the busy streets of Tokyo is still a thing.

Japan has implemented new rules to stop tourists from being rude 😢

@TheMekon_Venus I've a massive collection of figures from all three original films, all complete with accessories. Quite fancy selling them but damned if I'm going anywhere near ebay and the scam culture that has taken off on it.

These original R2-D2 figures are being advertised for insane prices.. and that’s out of the box. The Hong Kong Original seems to be the most expensive. With other versions going for around £35. But often in really poor condition and no box.

@80s_Kidz Watership Down I believe, I nice healthy U rating for a 5-year old to watch.

For me, it was Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and I fell asleep halfway through it.

@80s_Kidz I only remember the banging theme tune, damned if I can remember any of the actual episodes though.

Jamie and his Magic Torch. Now, this has to be one of my most favourite cartoons ever.

@TheMekon_Venus Stephen Hendry was pretty desperate too, he was only 21 at the time.

At one point this was regarded as an extremely high accolade. Only celebrities that had distinguished careers ended up having their lives celebrated with the big red book. Then I think they ran out of people.. as they started putting some very random people on the show. The low point has to have been BBC docu-soap Driving School learner ‘Maureen’. If it was going today.. which celebs would deserve this?

@Classicbritcom First ever jump scare as a kid, no idea how I was allowed to even watch the film as I was only 8-years old at the time. Rest of the movie I was fine with, but that scene. Whoosh.

Did you jump out of your seat when this appeared in the hole of the shipwrecked boat in the film Jaws?

@TheMekon_Venus I lost interest during Smith's first season, the writing was just plummeting in quality. I'll forever be pissed off that the Dr never took accountability over Amy and Rory getting stranded in New York after telling Amy's dad that nothing would happen to them.

The longer that time goes on.. I’m convinced that this was the best era for modern doctor who. Not always perfect. But very cinematic stories. These episodes also felt unmissable. Where.. I skipped the entire latest season almost entirely. Who agrees?

@80s_Kidz Jackie Chan is the man.

Without doubt, Arnie for me, closely followed by Harrison Ford.

@TheMekon_Venus Had almost the entire collection at one point but sold them a couple of years ago as I no longer had space. Still, kept these guys for nostalgia.

These toys were around when I was a kid. Not as big as transformers.. but enough to have video games etc. Who remembers the name of them?

@2000s_anime One of my all time faves, will always be in my top 5 even if the last couple of episodes were a bit of a cluster fuck.
