Cait Posted July 31, 2010 Author Posted July 31, 2010 My Dad cleverly rigged up a strip light in the kitchen which came on automatically when the power went off, so we had no excuse for not doing our homework! sigh. we all used to just congregate in there in the evening and actually I remember it as a fun time, with board games etc when we'd done our homework. I'm sure for my parents it wasn't such fun, as Dad was on a three day week I think - for us t meant we got to spend more time with him as we were usually in bed by the time he got home Quote
Alison Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 I feel very much an inbetweener having read both this and the other thread and wow remembering even more TV than I should like to admit too school holidays watching re-runs of zoro, lone ranger. and champion the wonder horse saphire and steal and the TV strikes was so annoying it went off in the middle of an episode of saphire and steal and I can remember keep turning the TV on to see if the next bit of saphire and steal was going to play dont remember how long it went on for but as a child it felt like weeks Crackerjack!!! loved CHiP's was watching TV with my daughter the other day and Erik Estrada was on and I was explaining that he was "the hot one out of chips" my daughters reply was "oh mum thats so embarassing!" I love embarassing her like that this is where I get confussed ...... what about the waltons and little house on the prairie then theres bionic man/woman, man from atlanta, juliet bravo.... which thread? this thread or the other one?.....I do feel very much inbetween Quote
Guest Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 I nearly put Waltons and Little House on the Prairie on the other thread but I concluded that I watched the re runs. I'm in between the threads also (I know exactly what you are all talking about in both threads - with a few exceptions), not due to age but due to watching re runs and recommendations by mother!

sunnyday Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 Daktari.....hmmm....not sure about the spelling there with Clarence the 'cross-eyed' lion! Quote
Cait Posted August 2, 2010 Author Posted August 2, 2010 As I child I can remember singing "Verily my cross I'd bear" in Church, assuming it was some relative of Clarence the cross-eyed Lion! Quote

Alison Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 As I child I can remember singing "Verily my cross I'd bear" in Church, assuming it was some relative of Clarence the cross-eyed Lion! lol I can see that being the start of a whole new thread (if it hasnt been done already?) misheard lyrics like in away in a manger "the little lord Jesus lay down his sweet ted" or in the lords prayer "lead us not into thames station" Quote

SueJ Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Moving back to radio can anyone remember Sparky the magic piano? - I think Ed "Stewpot" Stewart use to play this sometimes on a saturday morning radio show for children and I so wanted a piano like that (still cannot read music even now - it looks like a load of tadpoles hung out to dry on a barbed wire fence!) Quote
Inge Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Sparky this is the first of a series.. apparently there was too.. I really must learn not to be surprised when I find what I am looking for.. Inge Quote
sunnyday Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Sorry. Me too promise that I will try to contain myself in future........ Quote
