When you were a kid

When you were a kid - what did you do that was funny/stupid/smart/interesting

When i was 9 i started a savings fund for this car,

 it got to about $20 then my mum thought i should spend the money on Sega matersystem 2 games 

I still want that car 

i was saving up for an engagement ring from very early on 

When I was a kid all I wanted was one of these.



Even tried making one myself at one point.

I tried to sell all my toys on my front garden -
when my mum came home she went mental. 

everytime the streetsweeper came up our road i used to run out with a clipboard and scribble crap on it, one day the driver got so concerned about my findings on his work, he stopped, came over look only to find a giant smiley face on my page and a lame drawing of a streetsweeper that had a face on it i'd called "Simon the streetsweeper", i was the skinny controller

I used to sleepwalk a lot until I was about 10... and do things like, turn all the lights on in the house, turn the telly on and then sit in front of it. Mum would wake up and freak out.

I liked to write short stories that my family thought were hilarious.

I tried to run away from home on my red BMX when I was five.

Also, when I was five, my mum tied me to a chair with a skipping rope because I was being naughty and I escaped. HAHA.

I have no memory of this, but when I was 4 I used to live on a farm in Renmark, and one day I wandered away. My mum found me on the nieghbours farm, sitting in an irrigation channel, eating oranges which had fallen to the ground laughing whilst my dog fought off a brown snake.

We used to shoplift transformers and machine men... they're the most uncomfortable thing to shove down your dacks and walk nonchalantly out the door.

I used to stay up all night with my mate Phil listening to Iron Maiden and playing Commodore 64 games and reading ZZap! Magazine and say that one day we'd work in the games industry...

Me too!!!!! and sleep talk, the sleep talking hasn't stopped!

I used to think that the big cement mixing trucks were massive fairy floss machines for fairs and kids parties n stuff.

I remember walking along Fort Lauderdale beach (near Miami) when I was about 10 with my dad and older brothers and my dad would jokingly, but quietly, say "Stiffy alert! Stiffy alert!" everytime a hot chick was close. I could see the humour but not the need to keep it as a private joke, so my poor father was soon apologizing to random women in bikinis after I had pointed at them, yelling "STIFFY ALERT!! STIFFY ALERT!!!"

While on the same visit there was a storm which washed up shitloads of Portugese man-o-wars (like jellyfish, but more balloon shape) across the beach. My brothers and I had a great time popping these things with big rocks and sharp sticks until we started itching, then burning. Their stingers can be released into the air so they were like natural nail bombs. Airborne stingers + big rocks/sharp sticks = pain, pain, pain.

Believe me, if I could post as often as Lexy I still couldn't get out all of the stupid things I did as a kid... 

I still sleep talk too!

I used to get up during the night, get a bowl of cerial and sit down to watch tv (usually wrestling) or play the computer until the wee hours then go back to bed. This was a nightly ritual and I think I had a small sleepwalking problem. I'm fairly sure I woke up a few times standing in the kitchen getting cerial. Plus there was the fact that I could get my fair share of the Coco Pops before my sisters got stuck into them

I learned a valuable lesson when i was a kid.

I went to my friend Cheng's place to stay over in early primary school. Whilst there they offered me baked beans for dinner, but I said no, I'll have what they're having (after all, my parents probably cooked me a greater variety of food than Cheng's family ever dreamed of eating - a bit of chinese food was fine by me!).

Two hours pass and i needed to go to the toilet. I had diarrhea so bad! I got through it, but i did use a lot of toilet paper. Then I was back in Cheng's room sitting there in my fluoro green stussy shorts when his grandpa walked in. The toilet was blocked apparently. He asked me in broken engrish whether I had tried to flush my underwear down the toilet. I said no, I hadn't. At this very moment I realised that when I got dressed in the morning, I couldn't find any underpants, so I did what i now know to be "freeballing" - going without underwear. So then the inevitable happens. This crazy old Chinese guy asks me to lift up the side of my fluoro stussy short shorts and show him that I have my underwear on still.


This is a life lesson to this very day. Sometimes, u'll get caught in a situation, and it may look bad, you may look like a liar, you may look like a fool, look like u've blocked someone's toilet by flushing ur underwear down it (even though you haven't), and there is NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. Give it up. Accept the absurdity of the situation and move on. Don't bother trying to explain it.

By its very nature, situations like these don't lend themselves to explanation. Except 17 years on on a public internet forum.

Ahhh, I feel better now that the truth is out there.

You've still got alot of explaining to do.

what would you like to know?

dont let old asian men inspect your underpants?

Perhaps this is where my irrational hatred of Asians comes from???




Oh wait, my hatred of Asians is quite rational. Carry on. Well, you know what I mean, "carry on" IF you can get past all of the Asians who are getting in your way whilst driving a car, walking down the street, in a supermarket etc.

*edit* erm, guess I better put some teef in here for those who don't know the running joke...

  there.

You know it's not me who you need to explain to...

Didn't ya mum tell you to always wear clean underwear! 

exactly! no clean underwear = no wearing of underwear at all! My mum should have thought that one through a bit better...



RYA: huh?

i did the same thing. I made it to the local SAFM sand castle comp @ Brighton beach when my mum found me & draged me kicking and screaming home

Im the same with Americans, thats why im mates with Rya... keep your friends close and your enemies closer   

 

I slept walked too as a kid, havent done it for ages until a few months ago, wierd shit...

i used to light little spot fires. 

We used to play cosmic soccer - get a roll of toilet paper, soak it in petrol or turps or methylated spirits and light it up and kick it around...

Heaps funny when you play it on suburban streets... people freak right the fuck out when they see a flaming ball of toilet paper fly past their window...

When I was five and got money from the tooth fairy for losing my first tooth I thought it was a pretty sweet deal which could be quite lucrative. So I made lots of tiny fake teeth out of rolled up balls of tissue and left them under my pillow for the tooth fairy. The next morning I found $5 a note from the toothfairy saying that she knew the teeth were fake but she was rewarding me because it was a good effort!!!! Ha....... sucker!

 

I used to do that too. Now im a CFS firefighter....

So did I !!! Why else would they be pink ??!!!

I used to fling my little sister down the hall way in her dollies pram and she would crash into the wall.

We used to make mud pies out the back and mum would pretend to eat them.

I used to also be my dads shadow and go everywhere that he went.

When I was 13 ... mum gave all my teddies away. When I heard that she got rid of Fat Cat I screamed and cried and told her I hated her. She went to the second hadn shop and got Fat Cat back for me : )
I still have him too heheheh : )

my mate i did them with became one as well.

One of the greatest moments in my life was winning our primary schools first "dress up as a music artist day" when I was 8. We all took turns walking down the runway in our outfits and for me the applause was deafening. I was shy and insecure so I thought I must have been hearing it louder than it really was... but no, I was better than everyone, even the older kids... and I was Boy George

I dressed as Charlie Chaplin in Year 4 for something similar, even had the walk down pat

When i was in primary school i won the cross country running state championship. Was on the back page of the messenger and everything. I retired on top.

 You choose not to race?

I lied 2 years in a row there was a "super ted" Book so i could dress up as Super ted for the book week dress up day i then went on to lie for 3 years there was a "top gun" book so i could dress up as maverick

 

exactly!!!

Can we tell other people's childhood secrets?

For a few years my brother used to say his middle name was Kitt (like the Knight Rider car)... so cute 

Mwahahaha im so tempted to dig the dirt on velocity 

But i gota live with the cunt so i wont

What could you possibly say about him that's more embarrassing than that?

One of those great moments in AM history. Thanks Noddy!!

 

 Zinga Burger Combo thanks Josh

me and my brother and a mate used to breakdance on the front lawn and had a hat on the ground like we were busking. I know know why everyone used to laugh at us 

when i was a kid, i was a 'hardcore' hiphopper/dancer at elizabeth south/gawler primary school. essential attire were my happy pants (5 pairs = had an outfit for each day), areosport hightop pumps and matching technicolour shirts. had my own dance routines to kris kross *kringe* , de la soul and KLF *aha-aha-aha* decked out proper with my boom box.

sad but true. nes can verify.

PICS OR STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!

when i was a kid we'd live in gumboot/tracksuit/handmedown ensembles, cant beat farm clothes for style or comfort... !!

we also usedta have to catch the bus for 45 mins each way. but our busdriver usedta stop just out of town on the last day of term (or something similar) and everyone would share food/snacks they'd brought on the bus earlier, and have a bus xmas party! our busdriver would also have an esky of zooperdoopers, yum! best thing was, as a present for our busdriver, we'd either have to walk up to the bus on our last day with a 6 pack of beer, or teh dad's who went to the same country pub as him would shout him a round. awesome.

i think i burnt all the evidence, but nes has always kept the bad ones she has of me! 

i just remembered - my mum told me that one day my reception teacher called her in to see her on a 'serious' matter. it seems that my class project - a poster of 'leaves from my backyard' had a massive marijuana leaf in the middle of the poster. apparently my teacher said to my mum how impressed she was by my 'creativity', but was concerned about my welfare!

Hell yeah thats my first memory of you, performing at our school assembley in ur happy pants doing that raver dance to Kris Kross lol I shall never forget!!! I had never seen anything like it 

Okay, heres an embarrassing moment from my childhood. Age ~9 I'm at this Christmas party with my family in a park, its summer and theres water balloon fights going on. Anyways, I'm walking accross the park with my bro and we want to get our hands on some and for some UNKNOWN reason I say to him "I think they're called condoms". Consider, at this point in time I have NO idea what a condom is, I have heard the word from some immature turd in my class at school when we have had water bombs at school and put two and two together and thought yeah thats it! Cue very awkward silence followed by my older bro laughing histerically at me and refusing to tell me what is so funny. Oh the innocence that is childhood lol.

Alana you went to Elizabeth South Primary?

Oh I have so many stories...

when i was lil i put one of those white bean bag things in my ear, i dont know why and i memember this lady across the road getting it out with tweezers when i was crying and mum was holding me

i had 1 rabbit that had 3 babies then it had 12 babies and i had 16 rabbits  ...then they gave them away

we had a make up shop at school,we put make up on kids are changed them 5 or 10 cents and I was makin money til the teachers found out and we had to give the money back. 
 
Oh once I almost got dragged out to sea on a floaty bed, because I floated over the rocks,I was scared to put my feet down, and i thought i was floating out to sea really fast so i panicked... I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me to hold on to the floaty bed and kick without touching the ground...
Anyway my brother,who middle named by himself kitt (hahah I didn’t even know that), saved me 

i also remember when i was playin a game smokin fake joints but i didn't have papers or anything so we used normal lined a4 paper and dried gum leaves and mum found one and said "what is this?"   she was trying not to laugh, and she was very amused i think, but i still got in trouble

 Wait... what was fuckin the rabbit?

:strokeschin:

 

I knew those bunnies reminded me of someone   


... buy seriously they were cuter than any of you   

Thats unpossible.

But you do have the cute bad grammar of a bunny 


Hahahahhahaha that was soooo funny   

and the time you almost choked to death on a peanut 

and the time I spun you too hard on the roundabout and you landed on your face in the gravel   

and the time you hid in a cupboard and crushed your thumb and now you have a mutant thumb 

good times 

yep, for eight years 

Same what year?

We used to get those massive blow up toys from the royal show, (I swear they made them bigger then) one year my bro n I got massive pencil ones and just in time we got caught by our parents on the shed roof about to jump off while riding the pencils like a broom stick cos we thought they would make us fly.

 

deathmaze’s bunny was the dad 


no you can't 


Good times?    yeah when i fell on my face, the huge graze and having a black puffed up and swollen eye and having to wear an eye patch was great 

oh yeah and getting my thumb crushed and it half falling off was so painfull
but one funny thing i remember about it was when i went into surgary i was more upset about them having to cut off my favorite jumper, luckily they didnt have to. It had pink roses on it Also the dr's gave me nos and a local anaesthetic, and they said the amount they gave me should have knocked an adult out, but i was awake through the complete operation, i think i was 6    

anyway enough of my

you told my stories...so now i can tell yours  

i doubt you were there or can remember me - as im older yeah.

between 1986-92

Crazy 1990- 97

Does anyone remember - mainly the ladies - lil babies?

And my sisters collected these...

Strawberry Shortcake

Nothing else matters but LEGO!!!

image not archived: 10029-0000-XX-13-1.jpg

I wasn't allowed a Ken doll so my barbies used to get it on with teddy bears 

keypers!




i used to play he-man & she-ra all the time!  had a big pink castle and everything!

and rainbow brite!

gi-joes!

I never had any GI joes, I had to get by with the cartoons
Ripped off!!!

Let's talk cartoons... anyone remember M.A.S.K.??? No not the green face dude Mask.

well really they were my cousins GI Joes, but i still played with them, and buried them, and threw them on the roof... i loved to fuck him off!

OMG flashbacks!  barbie & the rockets!  stage & all!  HOT!

Yes!


Yes!
*Paddington

Lego... check!
Smurfs... check!


YES!!!

I had the Barbie convertible and used to drive my Barbies around and make them dance to that tape. My mum ended up hiding it from me cos I played it too much... along with my Kylie Minogue tape. Aaah. I wish I was five again

"Barbie and the Rockers... do do do do do do"

Bringing back hella memories. What's worrying is that whilst the Transformers, He-Man dolls etc made up the majority of my collection, it's the fucking Barbie and the Rockers: Out of this World video that has stuck with me the most. Having two younger sisters probably made me gayer than I should be, because I have watched that video probably about 40 times!!! Do you remember that bit where Ken got blasted back from one of the speakers because of a sufficiently rocky note played by ms Barbie? I think it was in one of those song montages. Also, Polly Pockets, Strawberry Shortcakes, My Little Ponies, Gloworms and those Lil Babies that had the nappies that changed colour with water or some shit, they all played a large part of my upbringing. And fucking Care Bears! Jesus, what the fuck were my parents doing to me?

omg you guys just reminded me that I had a massive collection of these (and my 2 sisters)

http://www.sylvanianfamilies.com/index.php?cPath=21&osCsid=8bcd8b1edfb0afd6be44b175d6640fce

How embarrassing LOL

yeah my bros has the mask truck!!

Oh My god I loved Barbie and the rockers! I had that pink casette!

I never had the convertible though Or a Ken.

Do you remember Sylvanian Families?

Bahahaha

oh yeah! I had heaps of them in my lil doll house hehehe

hahaha...me too! think i'd still have that tape in a box somewhere....

i used to love 'midge'

she was the barbie with red hair who came in a wedding dress...her other half was Allen

funny stuff

When i was saw my niece and nephew over Christmas, i looked in there toy box, and it had my old Barbie and the rockers stage in it!

My niece had the tape in her room in my sisters old school boom box!

Pumpin!

Ohhhh...i never had the stage!!! Lame!!

i remenber when i lived in port pirie for a few years we came down for christmas and my cousin she had a huge colleciton of those things and as i did with most things when i was a little shit i smashed them with a meat tenderising hammer. Rest assured my old man gave me far more than what for

When I was about 5 maybe 6, my brother made up his own cartoon character and used to make cardboard cutouts of it. He once made a cardboard guitar for this character and I thought I would take it the next step further, by making it electric. I got wires from our electric Lego train-set and made it a divine work of art. I plugged one end of the wires into the power point and the other to the guitar. I plugged another wire in, went to take my first swing on the strings and BANG, fried the power point and somehow avoided fatal electrocution. My brother was pissed off because he missed Video Hits because of this.

Between the ages 7-10 I used to walk around everywhere making beats from my mouth. Walking to school, mates houses, everything. I would be doing it at times and not even realizing it. Understandably lots of people found this to be quite an annoyance. It was not beat boxing because it actually sounded fucking good! Wish I could still do it, ain't got the purdy mouf I used to.



Nooo shit, ZZap!64 brings back memories.. I must check my mums house to see if any have survived culling, even though they're online.

Remember Oink! mag?

When I was a kid:

* You could smoke in the Myer Centre.
* For the plane to descend into Hong Kong Aiport, it would have to turn between mountains and skyscrapers/apartments.
* Public Libraries didn't have scanner/detector things at the doors to prevent would-be thieves walking away with bags full of books. [insert not guilty here]
* SMS was a feature on your phone but was not supported by the network. (You're still a kid when you're 16 yeah?)
* SFII - The World Warrior was a huge leap forward in fighting games.
* You could go to lock-in sessions at Timezone/s and Magic Mountain.
* When I used to live in Canberra, they had a Raiders (Rugby Team) theme milk which was lime flavoured.

   I remember that!


Was a massive treat for me & my sisters! 


They have have them at Intencity on Wednesday nights & some other time,  only for a few hours though!


Oh my god! I loved that stuff!

When I was a kid:

* The Myer Centre didn't exist!
* You could go to public libaries and play Pong on the computers 

i got super excited when my older cousin gave me an atari 2600 because he got a nes.
pretty much all children played sport.
when i lived in port pirie the smelters picnic every year was dope everyones dad worked there so the picnic day was like like a public holiday in the town.
Once the england cricket team came to port pirie for a match against a country 11.
Same day my dad introduced me to mike gatting, and my dad told him he was a tosser

When I was a kid, I was always singing " Mooo everybody ... all natural Freisa ! "

And the Myer centre had this Lego thing up the top.

 

I think I used to sing that too...bit older than you though so that's kinda scary for me haha

My seemingly indestructable 2600 was an elder cousin hand-me-down also, he traded up for a commodore 64.

When i was a kid, the 2 week school holidays went for AAAAAAGGESSS
now my 2 week break goes in the blink of an eye

The Birdman Rally – home made flying machines off the end of Glenelg Jetty?

Milk Carton Regatta – home made boat race IN the Pat!

 

when i was a kid
lego got ya mad chix

Moooo everybody ...

baaaaa ram ewe,

yeah thats right, im down with that shit

Mooo all natural fresia(sp)?

I can't find a pic of that goddamned cow ANYWHERE on the net !
There's a picture of everything on the net, dammit ! Where is that Fresian cow ??!

drinkin baileys out of a shoe

 
at Phunkii


hahaha lego....

we've had the lego out on several sketchy mornings lately...some inventive looking pieces have unfolded i must say!!

i used to leave bits for mum to stand on when she woke up

cheap thrills
lol

u musta been a caring child...

when i was a kid, life was sooooo easy and fun aaaaaalllll the time. ignorance is bliss 

i cared how funny it was
lol

ahahahaha...haha...ha..ha

[/sarcasm]
 

I wish I was five again sometimes. That was the best!

what was the most important thing in your whole entire life when u were 5, your responsibilities, hopes, dreams everything stopped at ...... jumping my bmx bike

*sigh*

do mad jumps off my mortgage, i think not

When I was five I used to go around and correct the other kids pronunciation 

It's hos-pi-tal not hostable you idiots 

Hostable records just doesn't sound right 


I wasn't allowed sugar until I was about seven.... SO UNFAIR! And I went to a hippie school when I was 5/6 and they didn't teach you to read until you were 7.... and they thought they were encouraging creativity by giving us dolls with no faces and you had to paint on wet paper so it all spread and you couldn't paint anything specific.... fucking hippies trying to mess with my mind.... didn't work though

very stanly cubric

I used to love the Great Race cartoons and used to emulate them with all my cars and transformers and would have a line of cars stretching from my room to the kitchen.

My mum used to hate it because she'd always try and use the sink and there'd be crap everywhere.

I went to a all boys school for 4 years because they thought it there was less distraction & it provided a better learning environment. What they forget is once you leave you enter a world WITH females & you have to work in a environment with such "distractions"

For that i am seriously fucked up for life

Wacky Races was the shit.

I used to love Mutley

mutley was gold, as was jabberjaw

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrgXA6ki6Gg&feature=related

I just had this flashback before to when I was a kid...not sure what age...and I was watching TV.
Boy George, looking bedraggled and messed up, steps onto the top of this massive building...where a huge crowd is desperately waiting for him below...and it all goes silent for ages...and then he starts singing "Karma karma karma karma chameleon" really slowly and beautifully...and the crowd goes fucking bananas!! 

AAhh the 80s..

when i was a kid banana boards were cool. still hunting around in my parents shed for it. tight.

Holy moley I loved that song when I was a little one.

Yeah me too...it came on the radio today on some 80s lunch time mix on "mix fm" ...followed by Don't dream its over, Who's that Girl and that one that goes "you're givin' me you're given me, nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams"

hahaha or something..

Quite possibly one of the most messed up things I've ever heard! 

STEINER SCHOOL!! EXPLAINS A LOT hehe

when i was a kid the busdriver threw cool bus parties once all the 'city kids' got off, and we usedta bring him xmas pressies from our parents consisting of 6 packs of beer. haha!

Yeah 

They also made us say some prayer thing before we ate lunch, was something like "blessings on the flowers, blessings on the fruit, blessings on the branches, and blessings on the root"!!!

But I was only there for a short time and then went to a real school when I was seven! And it's ok coz I paid them back by wetting my pants on their slippery dip 

Does anyone remember "The Henderson Kids"?

I loved that show when I was younger!  

bobby's world FTW!

image not archived: images

I forgot about that!

 

Shit, I loved that lil guy, but I was a teenager/adult when it was on. Showing my age now

It was no Parker Lewis can't lose.

lovin that shirt!

fuck yeah!

rocky and bullwinkle were always great too.

Yes, Loved it. Both 1 and 2.

Ahhh Cowboy I wanted you to be mine!

anyone else remember not having pubic hair?

Yes 

And not having boobs 

oh happy days!

i remember having the highest pitched voice ever too.

The first time a friend ever rejected me was when I showed her a huge lump of chewed bubblegum in my schoolbag. She looked at me as if I was a freak and never spoke to me again! But it was a whole packet chewed into one lump so it was too good to throw away!

Why the hell do we even have pubic hair ? And underarm hair ?
Apparantly eyelashes are there to stop dust etc getting into our eyes ... but what is all this other hair for ??
Wrong thread hey ... ?!

When I was a kid ... my friends had this doll that you put tapes into and it spoke ( i think it was Punky Brewster ? ) ... but we stuck a Kylie Minogue tape into it and it broke.
I also thought it'd be a great idea when I was 4 to stick my plastic comb into the heater and try to comb the carpet with a melting comb.
I never worried about my weight as a kid ... eating pork crackling was such a treat !!

I reckon that it improves the diffusion of perspiration and the pheromones produced in those zones

thereby making our pheromones more readable to others (detected by receptors in the palate)


also good for soaking up juices

I thought I was fat for as long as I can remember. I wasn't actually fat most of the time, but all my friends have always been skinny little sticks and I compared myself to them 

me too DM!! sucks eh! but i was a skinny kid, all good. i like my curves, mostly!

and phunkii, pubic hair etc is to protect and keep warm our goodies...its a leftover from the olden days when we lived in caves and didnt wear clothes. the general hirsuteness of humans has been declining slowly, but there are still some hairy neanderthals floating round!

i heard it's there to protect from chaffing.

My weight has always been up and down. Skinny then fat, skinny then fat. There was a period where I was quite chubby (I think I was about nine) and really liked blueberries... so my family deemed it appropriate to nickname me the Blueberry Buddha.

Oh, the emotional scars.

 

ouch!! we used to call my sister ten tonne tessy 

yep, multifunctional it is!

HAHA! You cunts!

I've always been such a fatty boombalah.

multi-functional!!

dental floss anyone??

yeah, fatty fatty fat fat   

That shit cuts deep.

There there, Liam, I feel your pain.

 

one of my mums friends daughters used to stay over all the time, much to the disgust of me and my best mate, you know cooties and all. we both pissed on her tooth brush 

HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!

You're my hero.

one of the lecturers at uni has a little girl, Jamie, she is pretty hilarious (always scribbles all over herself, is covered in dirt etc) but anyways, his wife told him that he had to get a new toothbrush one day, before he came home from business! when he asked why, she got jamie to explain to daddy - "because i used it to clean my vagina'!!!!!!!!!!

thats so fucking funny!

in other news, i will be reliving my childhood tonite, bought the AstroBoy dvd collection from ShinTokyo...!

 

 You should have shit yourself and really taught them a lesson.

that place has some seriously cool stuff.

its all on sale!!! well,some

 

interesting. might get ali to have a look see.

 

anyone remember ulysses? silverhawks? voyagers? airwolf? the original voltron with all the cars?

one of my earliest memories was of watching this show, i wish i could find some episodes somewhere but this is the best i can do...

Widget The World Watcher
image not archived: widget.jpg

Into
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFwoG2P-s6U


so yeah did anyone else watch it? i think its probably a bit after most of your early childhoods, probably around 93, 94...

it used to be good sport to go to gawler on the weekend and pick up girls to fuck, they used to hang around in packs.
 I'm too old to do that now but i'm told that the girls have now been taught not to hang out on the street, the fact that everyone has a mobile phone these days also makes the phonebox a poor hunting/fishing ground.

finally got my mitts on every single episode of ulysses!

I remember Widget. I used to watch that along with Captain Planet, Tin Tin and whatever else was on around that time.
