    I do, vividly. It says it's an '80s cartoon there, but I can definitely remember it on BBC TV after school, in 1979. The cartoon was a bit like Speed Racer, a Westernised anime series. All the dialogue wasridiculouslyfastlikethat!

    I'm so glad to hear you think that...did you realise people really cared about your opinion here ?
    The book is great, the movie is something else, and the scene you selected is simply wonderful......"shurupp lad, don't interupt, close the door" :D
    I mean, how stressed is that head teacher? It's too real to be funny at times.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    I'm pretty sure it didn't, but it did have a real fire place and dog laid in front of it, and a real live sheep stood on one of the benches outside the pub, I would have called it a beer garden but I dont think you could really.

    Here's it's website: http://www.tanhillinn.co.uk/ :)

    How about those Six Million Dollar Man action figures? There was a hole in the back of his head, so you could look through his bionic eye. Totally useless, unless you were some solipsistic loner with an obsession for recreating focalisation shots. Otherwise, you'd end up in a punch up with your mate.

    "Now, I want to look through the hole in his head!"
    "No, it's my Steve Austin!"
    "But you said, after half an hour, I could look through his head!"
    "Did not."
    "Did."
    "Did not."
    "Did." (Takes Steve Austin and pulls head off.)
    "Waaaaaaaaah!!"

    Some of you probably know this one


    It was a great cartoon, precisely because it was a bit of a throwback but it had absorbed a lot of eighties/early nineties comic art, too. Sometimes I felt it tried a little too hard, but hey, that was better than not trying at all. Your childhood, eh? Well, that was a cool cartoon to grow up with!
