Rainy recollections

You know what it did yesterday after a dry couple of days don't you? Bloomin well started raining again which put pay to the idea of going to the playground yesterday yo go on the swings which is what I love doing.

The Beano did arrive through the letterbox as last week we marked the arrival fully formed of Rodger The Dodger some sixty nine years ago not that I was around at the start when I first started having it together with strips like Little Plum, Tom, Dick and Sally plus Lord Snooty and Pals which aren't around anymore.

The well read will view this scene where Dennis and Gnasher get to be maids for Walter as payback for the menacing the pair of them did to Walter and his "Softies" mates over the years and their refined manners.

Bullying is never right.

The Pink Panther Show on tv and its spin offs was always a big thing with me as our pink feline friend outwitted everyone to fill the world wirh Pantherly Pride and ensuring everything was in the pink.

These 1981 stickers were just a part of what some of us bought and applied liberally to anything within reach not least any folders that just looked so plain boring at the time or to my parents dismay, walls near the light switches.

Just what did you do back then?
