The latest stuff that's been bugging our babblers


What's the first film you were taken to see as a kid? Believe it or not, mine was Paint Your Wagon (1969) with Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood when I was 3 years old. Umm I don't think my parents really chose that one for me somehow! I blame my father wholeheardedly for any subsequent Clint Eastwood fixation.
What was the first video you rented? Remember renting videos? Which was your first rental?
Your favourite RPG? I love JRPGs especially the Final Fantasy games - do you have a favoute RPG or series of RPG's?
What was the last truly scary horror film you saw? I grew up on Hammer House of Horror & Stephen King books which explains a lot but I just don't think films are scary these days?
What is the best night out watching the big match ever? I had a fab time the night of the England-Germany semi final of Euro 96, sadly we lost after a string of nail biting penalties but the drunkenness in Nottingham market square afterwards (including a whole array of boys showing me their st george cross boxers in the street!) made up for it :D

When I was really little they were: The Magic Roundabout - I loved Dougall and Ermintrude. The Banana Sptits were great. Trumpton Fire Brigade - "Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb" and Camberwick Green with Windy Miller. Fantastic. Am going to upload a clip of Trumpton now!

Cities of Gold - lol that used to be my criteria for dating boys, simply if I asked them what the best ever TV show was... and a surprising amount got it right! My mate Simon could also play the theme tune on a tin whistle :D
