Jangle Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I remember all the words to the theme tune of Fireball XL5: I wish I were a spaceman, the fastest guy alive. I'd ride around the Universe in Fireball XL5. I also loved Stingray and really wanted to be Marina - It must have been the green hair I think. Space 1999 and UFO were firm favourites, as was Survivors when I was a little older. Bryan the snail is my favourite Magic Roundabout character, and Sage from The Herbs.

Blackrat Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I hope this works. Bleow should be some links that will take you to some sound files http://uk.geocities.com/blackrat779/fbxl5.wav http://uk.geocities.com/blackrat779/joe90.wav http://uk.geocities.com/blackrat779/ufo.wav http://uk.geocities.com/blackrat779/champion.wav Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Stuart - I would love to try those but we have a problem with sound at the moment and as Carl doesn't need sound to finish clients accounts but he does need to finish them it will have to wait. (and while I love all other sorts of DIY - my version of mending computers requires use of a hammer! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Amazing thanks...only managed to get Champion, but that was the one I was interested in. Took me right back. Thanks Blackrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrat Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I've just tried the links myself and had the same problem. I will try and fix it, but it may be tomorrow the alcohol is about to kick in (well it will once I've poured it ) BTW how do you send personal messages? I have one ready to go in my outbox, but I can't send it Cheers Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Well, all I did was to look at a posting by the person you want to receive the PM, and click on the PM symbol at the bottom of their posting. The message box pops up and when you have typed it, press submit. I'm not sure that it disappears from your outbox at that stage..but I think it does confirm that the message was submitted. It may work just by re-doing if it didn't go. I'll send you a practice one, so I can remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 OK....my 1st one didn't go....then I retyped & added a subject title too (don't know if that matters) It does tell you if its sent successfully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Stuart If the message is in your Outbox all it means is that the person you are sending it to hasn't yet opened it! Sheila did that to me the other day - I sent her three!!! When they have opened it it goes in to your 'Sentbox' Sometimes if you send a PM to someone you think is on line and wonder why you don't get a reply it can be:- 1. They were in the middle of typing a reply to a post and the only way they can continue is to close the pop-up message box, continue with the post they are typing and then hopefully they will remember to go and look at the message! (some of us don't remember ) Or.... 2. The five minute delay in refreshing means that their name is showing as still logged in but they have in fact gone off to make a cup of tea! They will find it next time they login. Hope this helps I have copied this into 'Need Help Using the Forum?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd forgotten them all!! What about The Flashing Blade on a Saturday morning? Badly dubbed Zorro style adventure series??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 Stuart, I've just spotted the Joe 90 link - fantastic series!! Loved it to bits! I'd love to see that again. I can still remember the theme music and those fantastic glasses! Oh the memories,............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 And the Two Ronnies are coming back - and Doctor Who. Carl is a Docter Who fanatic and has all manner of original boxed Daleks and scarves and books and games. He has a T Shirt he wore when 14 and he went to a Doctor Who exhibition in London - I found it this morning when clearing out his wardrobe and it looks like it would fit Lauren! Aaaah! (I put it back- carefully!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Better not throw that one out Lesley or you will be in trouble........... I was one of those children who hid behind the settee when the daeks came on. My brother used to chase me round the room pretending to be a dalek it has scarred me for life, don't think I will be able to watch the new series without therapy................

Mrs Frugal Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 I don't remember being terribly scared by the Daleks but the one which drove me behind the sofa was The Green Death! I still get the collywobbles thinking about that episode ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen1 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I used to be terrified of daleks too when I was a kid. I wonder why we felt safe hiding behind the sofa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Dr.Who was one of the best programmes at the time! But I also remember being hooked on Space Family Robinson, couldn't wait for the next episode! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jangle Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Kate - Was the green death the one about the maggot things and the green slime in the welsh mines? If it was I still remember it vividly. Daleks too, and Ice Warriors, and Cybermen....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Janet - Carl says yes it was the one with the maggots - with John Pertwee as Dr.Who Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Well, I had my first crush on Frazer Hines (Jamie in Dr.Who)..don't know why I'm admitting that, but OH does know! :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 17, 2005 Author Share Posted March 17, 2005 Janet - that's the one and I still remember it vividly too! There was some scary music that went with the green slime and the maggots and I used to hide when I heard it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
