Quite absorbing when yo get the hang of it!

 

Hands up all those who remember Reginald Molehusband!

 

Of course I was a very small child when he was on t' telly!.

[Mel (& Paul)]

oh good another early riser

How are you this morning

I have no idea who Reginald Molehusband is but will have a go at the website

[Egluntyne]

I'm ok thanks. And You?

 

There was a series of those awful public information type adverts, I think in the 70's regarding safe and considerate parking.

 

Reg demolished cars, fences, bus stops, post boxes etc and was the shining example of how not to park.

 

He looked like a paedophile with a disgusting mac, greasy hair and thick glasses. You are obviously far too young to remember him. He is one of those "once seen never forgotten" characters.

 

He had the same effect on me when I was little that the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang had on my daughter!

[Mel (& Paul)]

glad I dont remember him then

[AnnieP]

I don't remember him either, but the child catcher from CCBB? ..... the stuff of nightmares here too!

[Mel (& Paul)]

Specially when he was Wayne Sleep in the theatre production

[Mrs Frugal]

I remember Reginald Molehusband! We still say "Well done Reginald Molehusband" when I park my car !

[Egluntyne]

Oh thank heavens for that Kate!! I was beginning to think that he was a figmant of my imagination!!

[Nicola H]

I remember Reginald Molehusband too, and often say the same thing Kate, but usually at the mums at school when they are parking, backing up onto the pavement and nearly runnng over children..........

[Mrs Frugal]

Oh thank heavens for that Kate!! I was beginning to think that he was a figmant of my imagination!!

 

No, indeed not! My family were all great fans of Reggie and my brother sent me a sound clip of the advert a few months ago. Have a listen to this and wallow in nostalgia - Reginald Molehusband

[Nicola H]

Thanks for that Kate it really took me back in time .............

[Egluntyne]

Can't seem to find your link Kate.

[Mrs Frugal]

If you click on the blue Reginald Molehusband it should take you to a clip on whichever audio player you have on your computer, Egluntine. If you've not got an audio player, that's perhaps why it's not working.

[Nicola H]

Mine went into itunes I can now put it on my ipod and listen to it all day.....................

[Egluntyne]

Erm...... I can't see a blue Reginald??........ Is it me???

[Nicola H]

Yes..... scroll up the page to Kate's post and it is underlined at the end put your curser on it and click.....

[Egluntyne]

Honestly....there is no blue Reginald Molehusband visible!!!

 

What am I doing wrong??

 

Have got an audio player etc.

 

What have I started!!!????....Arrrrrgh!!

[Mrs Frugal]

In my posting, there are the words Reginald Molehusband underlined in blue. Click on that and it should take you to whatever audio player you have on your computer. You don't see the actual advert, Egluntine - you hear it. It's an audio clip rather than a visual one. Sorry I should have made that a bit clearer.

[Egluntyne]

I understand that Kate, but what I don't understand is why there is no blue underlined "Reginald Molehusband" visible. All I see is:

No, indeed not! My family were all great fans of Reggie and my brother sent me a sound clip of the advert a few months ago. Have a listen to this and wallow in nostalgia -

Do you see what I mean???

[Mrs Frugal]

Ooooooer! Never had that happen before. Must be there because Nicola can see it. I'll post it again here but just the link - http://tv.cream.org/specialassignments/themes/ads/regmole.mp3

 

Hope it works this time, Egluntine.

[Mrs Frugal]

If that doesn't work, this is what the advert used to say....

 

"This is the story of Reginald Molehusband, married, two children, whose reverse parking was a public danger (brakes and gears crunching). People came from miles just to see it. Bets were laid on his performance. What he managed to miss at the back, he was sure to make up for at the front. Bus drivers and taxis changed their routes to avoid him. Until the day that Reginald Molehusband did it right (sound of reversing). Not too close, far enough forward... come on Reginald... and reverse in slowly... come on.... and watching traffic... (applause from watching crowd) and park perfectly! Well done Reginald Molehusband, the safest parker in town. "

[Lesley]

I can see the link Kate!

 

I remember Reg as well - and often use his name on watching some of the parking in Stratford!

[Egluntyne]

No...still can't see it. This is really scary!!! Must be my all singing all dancing ridiculously expensive less than 6 months old computer!!

 

Never mind. Thanks for the text Kate. I can see Reggie in my mind's eye. Still sends a shiver!!!

[Lesley]

Are you sure you can't see it Egluntine?

 

It is just blue text - straight after the word nostalgia. If you move the cursor over it, it becomes a link and you can click on it then. Make sure your sound is turned on.

[Egluntyne]

Honestly.....it's not there!!!

 

Have tried moving cursor slowly over area where it should be in case it it hiding, but nowt 'appens!!

 

Am really spooked. This has never happened before. Have even rebooted. Serves me right for taking Reggies name in vain.

 

By the way, has anyone had a go at the game in my original post??
