Chicken bald back

[The Dogmother]

Some of us remember it in black and white!

 

Who remembers all the names of the toys in the old Play School? I remember Hannah and Jemima....

 

I'm still sure that he's a lizard Kev - he's exactly the same as the one I had in the garden , I just wish I could remember what it was when I eventually found a picture.

Jemima was the ragdoll, I'm sure the conventional doll was Hamble , then there was big Ted & little Ted. Was there a Humpty too or am I imagining that?

 

Do you remember when they played the National Anthem at the end of transmission for the day, then the screen closed down to a white dot.

[Goosey Lucy]

What sort of a name is Hamble??? I didn't like it then and I still don't now.

 

Then again, what's Iggle Piggle all about? Not to mention the Tongly Boos.

 

Well done Afamily, I think you've got all the Playschool gang there, and yes, there was a Humpty toy, very round /egg-shaped. He was my favourite

[Guest]

it was Hamble.

 

I used to know someone who looked like hamble

 

Didn't they also have 2 goldfish, bit and bot?

[The Dogmother]

Yes, I remember now, there definitely was a Humpty, because I had a humpty dumpty toy called Humpty after the Play School character. Gosh, I had forgotten that Kate.

Well I will take your word for that Clare. I just thought Lizards needed sun to warm up the poor little mite will freeze to death down there.

 

I have had a google about and we only seem to have two indiginous species of lizard, (i find that hard to believe too) the common lizard and the sand lizard and Golloum looks not a lot like either unless he's a youngster or he's from a pet shop and got flushed down the bog somewhere

 

Proffesor Yaffle would know

 

Kev.

[Guest]

well, I think his head looks exactly like the picture i posted, his body is narrower but he might just be skinny.

 

Why don't you contact these guys and ask them http://www.thebhs.org/ ?

 

we're all dying to know what gollum is now

[Christian]

 

Proffesor Yaffle would know

 

Kev.

 

Or the mice on the mouse organ!

 

nyap nyap nyap!

[Goosey Lucy]

Surely Gabriel the Toad is a better bet, he's closer to newts/salamanders/lizards?

[Louise]

You lot are barking

 

At least I know where I caught the bug i have been off sick with for the last two days now

 

Kev, Cristian who wants to own up

[..lay a little egg for me]

I think he's great...what have you done with him? My son would be begging to keep him in his bedroom

[Couperman]

Christian was ill first, I got it after reading his 'feeling rough' thread, so it's his fault

 

Kev.

[Couperman]

I just left him be, he could have had me arm off

 

Kev.

[Christian]

You lot are barking

 

My therapist says I'm perfectly sane!

I feel much better today!! Sorry your feel like pants. The antivirus must be broken on my laptop.

 

C x

[Louise]

Feeling a bit better today but it has been years since I had to take two days off work sick

[Couperman]

I am feeling a bit better today too. I am still off though, I decided to write the rest of the week off.

 

To be honest I could have gone in yesterday and usually do when I get a cold as i don't get sick pay.

 

This has been a bit of a heavy one and I didn't want to infect the whole office most of whom are staff and do get paid sick.

 

Kev.

[Louise]

Unfortunately we are too busy for that Kev

 

I have agreed to mornings yesterday and today though because I am not getting enough sleep through all of the coughing

[Couperman]

Cathy is having the same problem! Apparently I have been coughing for England in my sleep

 

I am starting to get an ear ache now too I hope its just a congestion thing rather than an infection. Ear ache is way down on my list of favourite things.

 

Kev.

[Christian]

Sorry to hear I have infected you both.

 

I had the earache for 24 hours a couple of days ago, it didn't last long luckily.

[Couperman]

That wasn't the news I was hoping for!

 

There does seem to be a lot of it about at the moment, just think of all the poor passengers you must have infected through the recycle air system You could have singlehandedly started a Pandemic

 

Kev.

[Christian]

 

They infected me!!

 

Has been off work since Sunday, can't 'pop' my ears so can't fly. Shame.

 

Have my part time week now, so off for another week.

 

Recommend sudafed for the ears Kev, sorted them out pretty quickly.

[Couperman]

Only teasing

 

I am still in denial about the earache! It's still at the might not happen full on stage, but I will heed your advice and get some Sudafed in.

 

I normally treat earache with Jack Daniels.

 

I perforated an ear drum a few years ago, my 21st birthday to be precise when a bouncer decided to knock me out because he didn't like one of the lads I was out with. He did apologise to me though!

It turns out the bouncer was a good judge of character, last time I saw this lad (about a year ago) he was starring on Crime Watch and is now serving time for a multitude of sins including armed robbery He seemed such a nice quiet lad at work.

 

So now if I get an ear infection it seems much worse than it used to. I don't know why as it healed up ok.

 

Kev.

[Christian]

Thats why we have to be careful with our ears. If the ear drum bursts, it's 6-8 weeks off work

 

Hope you don't get the earache, I feel for Cathy with the Jack Daniels cure

[Louise]

No earache here just horrible chest crusty nose and a dreadful cough don't like Jack Daniels but I did try the brandy cure for sleep last night

 

It worked for 3 hours but I was up at midnight and couldn't get back off again

 

Still I get to go home in half an hour

[The Dogmother]

They've all go the sickness and diarrhoea thing here Am washing my hands like mad.

 

Kev, I had a burst eardrum when I was passenger in a car crash 20 years ago, it's never healed right and I'm pretty deaf in that ear

 

Pardon?
