oh wow! now we're getting to the good stuff...

trap door was always a little on the majestic side. that theme tune! i hope you damn well know i 
will not have that tune out of my head all week now.....

but round the bend! now teh adventures of doc croc and his merry bunch of chms. i always thought 
it the telly extension of the mighty oink magazine - anybody remember that? better than viz will 
ever even dream of being, the first truly intelligent kids comic and possibly written (or so i've 
heard) by the boy lard. what a long twisted life he's led...

i find this tell reminscing all very strange because it shows people of different ages. nostalgia 
about dangermouse or thundercats or ulysses 31 when all these were going while i was at school, 
when i get all dewey eyed about watoo watoo (little owl dude?) and that frog with the orchestra on 
bod. i suddenly get all old (yay! last exam today!)

but the oddest thing of them all is whenever you mention these programmes i picture myself in 
front of the telly in my school uniform and - well - the moomins (original scarey version) reminds 
me of eating ham sandwiches and lemon squash, chorlton and the wheelies bizarrely reminds me of 
poached eggs, bad boye reminds me of salt and vinegar crisps, it all goes on. isn't it bizarre how 
you remember things in terms of what you were doing at the time?

anyway i'll shut up now. i'm sitting in the omputer lab of wht won't be my department for very 
long and the french students are howling with laughter at their equivalent of boyzone whose 
homepage they have found on the internet. not that you really wanted to know that...

anyway i'll get me coat
