Sport Billy.
I came late to this thread and am still laughing.
That's the badly dubbed boy with a handbag, right?

It's up there with Wattoo Wattoo, Superbird and Mumfie as "TV programmes only Cherry has ever watched." Yes, I know I can look them up on t'internet, but it's not the same as sharing them with a real person, right? Oops, I've just denied the whole reason for the Cellar...

I think the prob is that I went home from school for lunch for many years. I lived (still live) so close it was cheaper and easier than taking packed lunch. In the Winter we could even have a hot meal. Steven remembers this but I can only remember sandwiches. Still, he was four years younger than me and the baby of the family (not to mention a fussy eater) so he may have had special treatment once I went on to the Floyd...

Kids' TV was only on at certain times of day (TV was only on a certain times of day!) and things weren't repeated ad nauseum. Well I say that, but the only episode of Fingerbobs anyone can ever recall is the one with the crow and the pebbles... And the only Bagpuss episode was the Marvellous Mechanical Mouse Mill "making chocolate biscuits out of breadcrumbs and butterbeans", so they may as well have saved their money. I do a mean impression of Charlie-Mouse.

I hated Rainbow days. Everyone else I talk to (of my vintage) loved it, but they watched it when they were 3-4, not 11-12!

PS - Jasper Carrot made it across The Pond?
The word amazeballs was invented for such an occurrence.

Total tail-post; but I assume you meet the above stated condition? lol

You can't resist hunting a deer in a parking lot.

Quote:
Arcangelo Bianco Jr., 40, spotted the deer and chased it around the store’s parking lot before firing several rounds from a handgun, CBS reports. After the deer was killed, he bagged it and brought it to a meat processor.
Quote:
“He got out of his car and chased the deer down through the parking lot, and I believe even across Route 22,” Patrick Dougherty, the Indiana County District Attorney, told CBS about Bianco’s hot pursuit of the 10-point buck.
Quote:
And the Wal-Mart deer was apparently a beauty. “It was the nicest buck I’ve seen taken in Indiana County in a couple of years,” Lucas added.

Well, I did meet those criteria. All clear now.
