Title: That's Torn It!!!!
Post by: LeighK on March 20, 2009, 12:00:06 PM
Hi folks,

Just perusing my home cameras and this sight greeted me!

(http://www.chaptanservices.com/alfiecat/Band_Practice.jpg)

I distinctly remember saying to the boys, "If you fancy a practice please use the headphones lads as our new neighbours probably won't appreciate the noise".

Do they listen, do they stuff!!, there'll be hell to pay for this from the neighbours. Once, just once!, will they listen to what I'm saying  ;D

Cheers

Leigh

If you open the window Dawn you'll probably be able to hear them! :)

Normally watching the CCTV is like waiting for a bus, wait ages and then suddenly two (cats) come along at the same time! :)

Cheers

Leigh

The little girl had a clown, Andy Pandy wasn't a clown!, then again, maybe he was but I didn't really know him that well so I can't really say, anyway I preferred Muffin The Mule :)

Andy Pandy was a clown doll and his friends were Luby Lu and Teddy*.

*I think I'm right about the teddy being called Teddy, but am prepared to be corrected.  ;)

I love this Jane Horrocks sketch "Watch with nanny" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fpOvv2VFJY&feature=related

I loved all the watch with mother shows. They were probably old when I saw them around 1966/7.

I've still got mine along with my kipper tie and flares  :evillaugh:

Yes it was a gentler (and less PC) time Chris, halcyon days, "Oh those lazy, crazy, hazy days of summer....."   ;D

Edit, I loved the Wooden Tops they don't make 'em like that any more!!!

I remember "Listen with mother" rather than "watch with mother" ?

Ooh yes!  I'd forgotten that.  It was wonderful.  Wasn't it broadcast at 14.15- 14.30 Monday - Friday?  On what was then called the Home Service?

I remember listening to it at Primary School with the teacher and other kids

just googled it:

http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/radio/lwm.htm (http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/radio/lwm.htm)

Watch out for "Mitten the Kitten"

Actually I think the woman on the top left looks VERY scarey glad it was pre-TV :)

I like this quote from the website "It wasn't only children who listened, but seamen on board ship were also regular listeners"

 :censored: it must be a lonely life out at sea!!!! :)

This is the bit I remember:

"Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin! "

Ive got a copy of that "Mitten the Kitten" book - I loved it and so did my daughter.  "Im Mitten the Kitten, the Kitten with a Mitten! Im Mitten the Kitten! Yo Ho!!"  They dont write 'em like that any more  :evillaugh:

Leigh you had better tell Frankie and Alfie to be quiet - you might need to ask that kind lady to look after them sometime

Actually at this very moment in time Alfie is warming up the settee for me and Frankie is warming up the bed how considerate is that?! :) I love cat watching :)

Don't go getting me wrong, I've got absolutely nothing against Andy Pandy or his associates, they seem like decent enough folk to me  ;D

ok... I have to ask

does anyone else think Andy Pandy looks like Baby Lee Evans?

I am so glad my parents gave me 'old fashioned' toys and cardboard boxes... also I had *one* Barbie, if she had to change career she changed her clothes, not a new £50 collection of stuff!

Those boys look so comfy warming the sofa/settee... and they are eco friendly :)
