** EARLY WARNING **
Mo-vember update photo posted tomorrow - this is an early warning so you can decide whether to look or avoid Is anyone else on here taking part or is it only myself, welshrat, motherofgod and lambrettalad (photos please!!)

Have decided I look like the lost member of the Electric Light Orchestra - but I'll leave you to decide tomorrow whether there are any other comparisons to be made

If you can, (lowride stepside) please visit my fundraising page and donate a few coppers to these worthy and important charities - they really do need all the help they can get. http://uk.movember.com/mospace/4586385

Thanks

[welshrat]

Will get a photo up asap, regrettably my high hopes of a Wyatt Earp, tough looking cowboy type Mo has now turned into a creepy 1970's porn star type Tash. However on a positive note the wife wants a divorse and the the children have requested that they be put up for adoption, may have plenty of free time to work on the minor after xmas.

[brucek]

Excellent - always look on the bright side - we could reform ELO too

[lambrettalad]

here goes ,so hard to use an iPhone to take a snap of yourself[frame][/frame]

[welshrat]

Here we Mo!!!![frame][/frame]

[brucek]

Excellent Sir - a very creditable Mo - congratulations indeed I'm doing my best to do a cross between Jason King and Aramis from the Three Musketeers on Saturday Morning Banana Splits Show (hands up who remembers that?)

Here's the Three Musketeers - Aramis is on the right![frame][/frame]

Here's Jason King[frame][/frame]

And here's lil ol' me[frame][/frame]

So it's Jason King without the hair and Aramis without the upturned dark moustache - mmm maybe it is just ELO for me then.

If you smiled, laughed or even if you didn't - please do give as much as you can to the Prostate and Testicular cancer charities - they need as much help as they can get. Thanks folks - more next week if you can stand it

[welshrat]

I loved the Banana splits show. A few Banana spit questions then, the three musketeers was one regular item, name the others and what was the names of the B split gang.

[lambrettalad]

Danger Island,Arabian Nights and ??????

[brucek]

Arabian Nights - size of an elephant and zazou the donkey

Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky

what about the The Sour Grapes Bunch - ta ra ra boom dee-ay???

Happy Days - and there's another..... don't get me started

[welshrat]

HR pufnstuf was my all time fave. Early split stuff, have a look at this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cshdzAtBW4M
what about the double deckers then.

[brucek]

Get on board! Get on board! Come and join the Double Deckers. Take a ticket for a journey, On our double decker London bus. Ring the bell (ding! ding!), Toot the horn (honk! honk!), When you ride with the Double Deckers. Fun and laughter is what we're after, On our double double double decker bus.

Loved Doughnut, fancied Billie and wanted to be Sticks cos his name was Bruce and he could play the drums. Think I'm going to change my sign in name to Mr 70's Childrens TV Show Trivia Geek!

Here's one - can you name all the characters in the Ant Hill Mob when they were in the Penelope Pitstop Show and explain why their names changed when they appeared in the Wacky races? I can't but there may be someone out there who can....

Now 'Why Don't You' .......

[welshrat]

And this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juJpyUkHPCA
Any how when I became a man (and able to to grow a Mo) I put away childish things (this does not include tinkering with morris minors).
So back to the Tash/Mo subject, if you have any worries talk to your GP, I am sure he will be delighted to tell you to BUGGER OFF if all is well, but more importantly he may be able to say that we thankfully picked this up early. Time to bite the bullet chaps get yourself checked out!

[welshrat]

So just ignore the "when I became a man" bit because I am now obsessed with the ant hill mob and won't be able to sleep until I have the answers. Now thinking what was the fastest mouse in the west's little friend called, what was the forest that evil edna lived in and did they ever catch that pidgeon?

[brucek]

Excellent - want one of those banana buggies too

[LanceNZ]

We're doing it here in NZ! My wife thinks I look like creepy - but I kinda like it! Bring back the '70s!!
[frame][/frame] Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer - your an inspiration to us all

[lambrettalad]

lance Why isn't your tosh upside down??

[brucek]

G'day Lance - great to see some participation from the Antipodes (why are they called that anyway - or is that just another question to answer?) Talking of which, here are the answers to Welshrat's tricky ones:

Speedy Gonzalez had a cousing named slow poke rodriguez and two friends who were often drunk (on a kids programme too - aah the permissive seventies) called Pablo and Fernando

Evil Edna lived in Doyley Woods along with Willo the Wisp and, to the best of my knowledge, the Vulture Squadron did catch the pigeon briefly on a couple of occasions but Muttley always messed something up which meant that the pigeon escaped. Muttley, of course, always demanded a medal!! It was a bit like the episode when Wiley Coyote actually caught the road runner then put up a sign that said - 'Now what do I do? [frame][/frame]

Here's the 'team pic' of the Ant Hill Mob in 'Wacky Races' guise too

left to right Mac, Danny, Ring-a-Ding, Clyde, Rug-Bug Benny, Willy and Kirby and, of course, Chug -a Boom
[frame][/frame]

In the Perils of Penelope Pitstop the same guys were called Dum Dum, Pockets, Snoozy, Softy, Clyde, Yak Yak and Zippy.[frame][/frame]

Let's not even start on Top Cat, Trumpton (Camberwick Green and Chigley), Andy Pandy, the Woodentops, Pogles Wood or Mary Mungo and Midge!!!.

It's been fun guys but I guess this is a car forum not a haven for sads like me who just loved the 70's kids shows so will leave this post as my last on kids TV

Might see some at the NEC tomorrow - you know what I look like so please say hi if you're there

F.A.B.

[welshrat]

Humbled by your extensive knowledge, good god man get a grip. Was hoping to take my Mo to the show but regrettably not gonna get there this year, with a bit of luck will finish putting the midget engine back together. Have a good grin this weekend!
