Do educational ones count?
Well in that case, does anyone remember the Wizard Magic E? He was kind of an educational character to sing songs and tell kids how to use silent 'e'. He didn't fight crime or anything, he was dismal. I was always surprised his little ditties about being The Wizard Magic E weren't more widely sampled on unispired trance and the like.
Ha!
Which of you has suffered the nightmare which is the Care Bears video anthology - half a dozen times over?
Hmmm?
Was that for your daughter, or for when you got weepy during comedowns after squat raves?
Then why the blazes did you buy it for her, man?? Yeah, you come on here, "You don't know nothing, I have to put up with the Care Bears, probably standing around at barbecues, slagging off the Care Bears - sorry, did your daughter walk into the shop and hand over the money for this purchase? Do we blame the junkie or the pusher?
It was a present, innit! Not from me, either!
I might be strict but I think that vetting my daughter's presents by ripping open the wrapping paper and then not giving her things I mildly disapprove of it would be counterproductive.
But y'know, any tips on this sort of thing are very welcome, especially from martin...![]()
