Still remember the smell of Scalextric! I loved setting up the tracks, though wasn't a particularly good driver (SHUT UP all you men!!)
I sold mine in NZ many years ago, and got stacks for it. Pined for it for a good twenty years afterwards. Then I FOUND a set about 10 years ago at a recycle centre in the skip [no way was that ever going to the crusher]. And now I've just remembered I left it in my brother's shed. Better get that. He'll think it's his.
If they're decent then I'm not too fussy but preferably town side of the water. Just need it looked at for now as I don't know what's wrong with it yet.
****. Remember I wrote about Hot Chili eye? Well since then I have been crushing any dried chili with my left hand. And now I've gone and rubbed my eye with my left hand. What a berk!
Just watched my second ever episode of Jonathan Creek. Last week I watched my first ever episode. It was one of the first ones obviously. 4:3 screen ratio around 1999. I thought it was awful. Terrible acting all round, and Allan Davies, who I love on QI, was simply awful. But the story was oK-ish. So this one from 2013 must have been an improvement, yes? I was wrong. If anything it was worse, because I had low expectations and it didn't meet them. The plot was even crap as well. In the end I couldn't bothered whether he'd solved the mystery of not [I kind of had by around halfway - must be all the Sherlock Holmes I've read] How was this series so popular? I'm ending the torture. No more Jonathan Creek for me.
I seriously need my grandchildren to get older so I have an excuse to do that. Don't think it will wash with Mrs No7 if I get the Scalextic out
