Bard Report post Posted October 4, 2007 Oo, I'd like a knight in my bath too. I regularly have one in mine, but his cardboard helmet is getting a bit soggy. He's put a request on his Christmas list for a set of armour, circa 1415. He knows that it's possible, as they were selling them at the last Medieval fair that we went to, and all my comments about rust have gone unheeded.

And at the Christm,as Carol concert everyone sang 'We three kings from Leicester square' Or 'we 3 kings from Liverpool are', but did anyone else sing: "Good King Saurkraut looked out Of his bedroom wind-da Silly sausage he fell out And landed on a cinder Brightly shone his bum that night Though the frost was cru-el Then a poor man came in sight Selling stagnant gru- uuu-elll or was that just me?

Viper Report post Posted October 5, 2007 Ooo ooo OOo, let me join in. I remember when you could take your empty pop bottles back to the shop and get 2p for them. I also remember that the lady in the shop stored her empties in the garden behind the shop so our bottles were worth a lot more than 2p. Now that was recycling.

Frangipani Report post Posted October 5, 2007 (edited) I loved my Sindy doll. One of the first sort, with a brunette bob & the equivalent of a 32" bust. My dad told me if he won a bet on a horse I could have one. The horse lost, but one look at my face & he got me one anyway! I spent days just staring at her. My bro bought me the Sindy riding outfit for christmas, he'd just started work, and my mum used to knit her tiny ickle mini dresses! I had a Cindy doll - brunette you could turn a dial in her back to make her hair short then press her tummy and pull at her hair to make it as long as 12". Then came Velvet a blonde version. I used these to learn to braid . Braiding my sisters long blonde hair was a novelty. She had amazing hair like in the ads. Definitely one of her assets. We often played - monopoly, mouse trap, Memory. Cooking up a storm - cookie creations, Making toffees and Chocolate Crackles and cup cakes for school fetes. Horse riding with friends through the Garigal Forest and Nabiac on the North Coast.and on the beach my most happy memories. Walking the beaches and collecting shells and adding them to craft projects. Drawing and painting. Stirring my older brother - wrestling.

Bard Report post Posted October 6, 2007 No, thems were pieces of eight! Just how old are you????? (earlier in the thread we mentioned watching Robinson Crusoe on telly - Bard proof read the original manuscrift for Msr. Duma's publishers!) We're a bit lost in time in my house. Got lutes and renaissance recorders hanging on the walls, a clarsach in the bedroom and numerous books in ancient languages, including some very rude Greek and Roman poems. B has pieces-of-eight, Victorian pennies and sesterces in a box under his bed. Sadly only the pennies are authentic. His WW2 helmet is an original. The icecream tubs on the kitchen window sill are crammed with Roman roof tile fragments ( you can ask Mumble why!) and the herbs are in Athenian red figure pots (painted by OH) And any time you want to borrow a quill, just say the word.
