thats it – the scalextric is getting built up 🙂

I found a box of old Star Wars toys in the loft the other day. Anyone want to buy them? I have no idea how much they’re worth. I have a death star which folds out so you can see the rooms inside, an R2D2 which folds out into some kind of scene from one of the films, a millenium falcon that shoots a plastic “laser” with a trigger, and an X-Wing that does the same. There’s also a ti-fighter and an at-at walker thing. Oh and all the mini characters which you can put in the various toys and play with 😆

I’ve been saving my pocket money for 33 and a half years for this moment.

£10?

8) sadly I think the box would cost more than a tenner to post, it’s quite heavy.

My kid would love them. Yes MY KID, ok?

_tom_ – if you’re not attached to the toys and not looking to make a quick buck have you thought about auctioning them for the bullheart charity?

Sounds like a good idea Phil, how do I do that then?

Bringing together this thread with the one about MW3

well DezzyB did a ‘buy an online raffle ticket’ type idea, but if it were me and it being potentially pricey items you’ve got in that box… i’d do some research into how much its all worth, then sell it… take the postage costs out and donate the rest to bullheart 🙂

i’m sure he’d be appreciative of a 20p donation if you decided to sell it all for personal profit in the end. sorry for putting the charity thing on you dude… kinda typed it out and clicked send without thinking, should’ve emailed!

haha no worries Phil, I could do with some money now (only working 12hrs a week sucks) but I don’t mind donating to good causes 🙂 I doubt they’re worth much though, they’re not original 70s toys (I’m too young for that) and I chucked away all the packaging!

I’m 47 and still aspire to having a model train set in my attic.

When driving the police van on nights some years ago, we didn’t have the new ‘american’ style siren at the time, so i would occasionally whistle it through the loud speaker when attending emergencies

When driving the shopping R-Plate 1 litre Micra I sing the Professionals theme tune.

I’m a 41yo professional, and sometimes make myself Nutella sandwiches in the office…

When driving through here, I always do.

That’s fine.

But don’t apply the same principle when driving through Here !

I GOT ONE!!!

1)find ‘the greatest war themes’ cd
2)play 633 squadron at full blast
3)take corners a touch too quickly
4)lean into the steering wheel when you corner
5)make machine gun / bomb dropping noises
6)play the dambusters march
7)repeat steps 3-5
8)play ride of the valkyries
9)repeat steps 3-5 with the additional vocalisations of helicopter rotors.

i just wish I had some biggles goggles to go with it

Grow up ffs…..WHY ❓

and, when I take my dog out on misty nights, I turn my torch on, the beam picks up the mist, and I make light sabre noises. I invite my dog to have a light sabre fight with me. Sadly, she doesn’t have a torch because dogs don’t have opposing thumbs 🙁

😳

I still enjoy a game of “pull my finger” and cheering at fire engines when they go past with lights and sirens going. I also fart in my little howff at work and shout to one of the guys to come in. When they appear I ask can you smell burning? And the first thing they do is have a good sniff. Second is to swear at me. Im 40 – physically.

I also get a great laff dressing the dog up in stupid outfits. My favourite is his dracula outfit. He looks pretty funny with my full facer on as well. Another thing that amuses me no end but hacks off mrs bt is when you are waiting to turn right on the road and a car coming the other way stops to let you turn. Instead of the usual happy wee thank you wave a good flick of the vees just cracks me up! Singing pump up the jam while railing it down caddon bank is pretty good as well.

if you have some, you’re my hero.

I find myself doing a lot of the above, my main ones are probably…

– I can’t look into a mirror, when alone, without pulliong a scarey face and growling.

– My sister in law and I always great each other with chicken noises (She’s 10 years older than me)

– If I find and “Smart” biscuits or treats in the cupboard at night I tend to whoop and holla whilst jumping up and down.

– Whilst waiting for the kettle to boil at work I always tap dance (I can’t tap dance)

– I ALWAYS shout my kids and when they answer say “Stinks”. I’ve done this since before they could speak and would would wait until they looked at me before replying.
I have had to adapt this a little though as they were getting wise to it. Now I occasionaly respond with “Love You”. This makes them smile and means they always respond, even though I say “Stnks” 95% of the time.

Had to tell a customer today that I couldn’t find her rug in the warehouse. Probably not the best choice of words but we both laughed 😆 Oh and I may or may not have played with a lightsabre toy when picking it.

Ooh, ooh, ooh. Found another one. Driving down the A19 tonight and there are no street lights, yeah? Turn down the dashboard lights as low as they will go and suddenly my black Volvo is in full “stealth mode”.

Bow down before me, morgs…..

Bow down before me, morgs…..

CFH – ok, a hero yes….the ability to make me your sexual play thing…..i don’t think so 😉

Cheeky!

Lots of entries so this may have been done….

I am 40, but when I walk through automatic sliding doors I still wave my hand in front of me like its my Jedi powers making it happen.

Still snigger when I see “Cat Boarding” billboards/signs. I really want to give catboarding a go. Surely as much fun as shopping trolleys?

When the kids were younger (8/10ish) I’d get them to direct us home in the car. I’d go exactly the opposite to what they said. Used to wind them up a treat. Daughter soon sorted it out though and has fabulous sense of direction. Son hit me and after he was 12 it hurt too much. He also prefers to drive me now. Never bothered with directionally challenged missus.

Cullen, you even act like a boss from time to time. “martin,you are sacked!”

just like saying it… it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

thanks guys – after a rubbish week this has cheered me up no end…
